Black King
Lord of Darkness
Alright little thing i got from 4chan's /co/ board the game is pick a comic writer and list a pro and a con to them. It can be a writer you love or hate just keep it clean and "above the belt." to start off. . . . .
Love-
Grant Morrison:
Pros: Loves the idea of the classic superhero as much as he loves the idea of the modern anti-hero. Deconstruction of the genre, loving respect of it and harsh criticism of it in near-equal amounts. His stories are full of grand ideas.
Cons: The trippiness can sometimes be overwhelming to the point of confusion; sometimes (perhaps often) his dialogue seems a little stilted. Sometimes the ideas override the characterisation.
Pro: Insanely good storyteller. Considered "far out" by some but unafraid of testing the boundaries of established characters while still focusing on the history and mythos of the comics.
Con: Past drug use has forever labled him as a psychedelic loon whose intricate writing is dismissed as inpenetrable by those who've never heard of the Kabbalah and Jung.
Hate-
Brian Michael Bendis:
Pro: Has genuinely ambitious ideas and plans.
Con: Execution of these is lacking.
Pro: Great plotter on crime stories and street level superhero stuff like Ultimate Spider-Man.
Con: Average to bad plotter on science fiction, fantasy or normal superhero stuff.
