Sixth Gun started pretty well, but yes has grown rather mediocre (I assume just Bunn stretching further as hes taken on more work)

>>78310300

yea...no excuse for Edmondson. Dude has a couple decent Image minis, but those are mainly saved by the art. His military wanking is too much in most of his stuff.

you guys credit Brubaker with so much shit that he didn't have that much involvement in. Same with Iron Fist.
For Gotham Central, Brubaker and Rucka alternated their writings based on the shifts the book was focusing on (Bru wrote day shift, Rucka wrote night I believe). And Brubaker essentially was only there as a plotter after issue like 20, meaning Rucka pretty much wrote half the book by himself.

Yeah Brubaker is great, but when he's a cowriter he's usually the one who's less involved.

This is especially true with Iron Fist. He's responsible for Orson Randall and bringing John Aman back, but it's otherwise all Fraction, and the book is better for it. Danny's not as much of a pulp hero as Brubaker thinks he is.

Almost everything thing I've read from Jeff Parker has been pretty good. He's under a lot of peoples radar because he doesn't insight controversy. If anything, he's underrated. I would like to see him on more A-list titles.

A truly mediocre writer is Chuck Dixon.

I don't think Rucka is mediocre, but like Brubaker, he's a writer I find dry as fuck. I can tell that he's talented, that doesn't prevent me from finding everything he has written as engaging and thrilling as a glass of warm water.

The one exception is his Batwoman.

I read more boring Rucka than cool but still can't say for sure. Had good times with Parker and GOOD artists, but say Thunderbolts went to shit once Walker/Shalvey left the building. Never got into Agents of Atlas.
