As a comic book fan, it's a bummer to see how every great writer seems to eventually hit this peak, then everything that they write afterward just can't compare to their classic stuff. We can agree that Frank Miller was awesome in the 80s, right? Grant Morrison seems to have avoided this, though. His work seems to remain consistently good. Because Morrison can write more than one style. I love Alan Moore, but I can't read Lost Girls. Ugh. |

Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman (rarely writes comic books anymore, but still), and Jonathan Hickman are probably the best writers in comics today. I love Garth Ennis, but we all know what we're getting with Ennis; he's got a bag of tricks that he pulls from, and not much else. |

Gaiman's always been a favorite of mine as well, picked up a second hand copy of American Gods recently that I intend to start after I finish reading Devil's Knot (I tip the scales between True Crime and Chaos Magick literature these days, with a decent dose of Sci-Fi and Horror thrown in). |

.....well, based on Miller's apparently dislike of Superman, at least Roman Reigns wouldn't do well... nah he would have been pissed that cena was a part timer so he couldn't have cena get beat clean by Enzo. |

We get a "Dark Knight Returns"-type story where Bruno Sammartino comes out of retirement.

Basically, Frank Miller is Vince Russo.

Even peak Miller has some issues for me, but his Daredevil run let do the creation of the Ninja Turtles. I can't argue with that level of influence. That and Robocop II's a fun movie and he worked on that. Yeah a lot of his issues are still there in the "good" Miller... but he seemed to hide it better. Then he fell in love with Marv and basically wrote all of his heroes like Marv. |

Finn Balor is either never seen without the bodypaint again, or suddenly becomes Kevin from Sin City. I don't know which would be scarier.

Enzo: The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect woman... the Goddess. Nia. She says her name is Nia.

He can never get through writing the contract, because every time he tries to write 'WWE' he stops after the first W and starts writing 'Whores' instead. Sort of like this.  |

What if WWE hired Rob Liefeld? Everyone would look like Jinder Mahal. But they wouldn't have any feet. And pouches, lots of pouches. |
