Who’s Your Favorite Writer?

by Jessica

house-of-secrets.jpgNow that we’ve covered artists, I want to know who’s your favorite comic book writer. Without a doubt mine is Steven Seagle. A great series for fans of the macabre to check out is his revitalization of “House of Secrets.” While it had only a twenty-five issue run from Vertigo with two one-shots, it’s prose and plot while circular in nature, is one of the most addicting, expressive books I’ve ever read. The most basic element in any writng, whether graphic novels, prose or poetry is likable characters. In the series his characters are instantly likable, yet all have unique personalities and their own vulnerabilities. Seagle is not just a one-trick pony though, his work has spanned from independent titles to taking of Marvel’s merry mutants, the X-Men. And he’s still going strong. American Virgin, another terrific Vertigo series tackles the concepts of love, lust, and morality in society today. So here’s some kudos to Steven Seagle. Is there anyone you think deserves some praise?

    My single favorite? That’s hard. But my top three right now would have to be Kurt Busiek, JMS, and Brian Michael Bendis. Each of these three know the perfect way to mix action and character development. Bendis probably does it best overall, but JMS really makes you care about the characters he writes, and Busiek has this encyclopedic knowlege of comics, and has respect for their history, so it’s fun seeing what he’ll throw in from the long-forgotten past.

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
