Favorite CA Writer?

[medinnus]

Who would make your top five CA writers? Mine would be:

* Steve Englehart - his CA remains what I think of when I think of great CA arcs, whether in his own title or during Englehart's tenure on Avengers.

* Roy Thomas - The brainchild behind the Invaders, some of the finest retcon writing in the history of comics!

* Fabien Nicieza - CA: Sentinel of Liberty has become, for me, the definitive origin.

* Mark Gruenwald - Some of his work was a hit out of the ballpark, others were not - but ye Ghods, the volume of good stories far outweighed the bad.

* Ed Brubaker - I've got to give respect to the finest CA writer since Gruenwald!

I have to go with Gruenwald followed by Roger Stern.

Stern's run was muc shorter than Mark's, but it did feature excellent John Byrne artwork.

Englehart, DeMatteis, Stern and Brubaker - not necessarily in that order.

And Stan Lee of course. His run with Gene Colan is already a classic.

[Black Knight]

Right now Brubaker, is one of my favs, simple because he took a charcter that several writers and almost ruined in my opinion and finally returned him to the glory he had before the Marvel Knights run.

What, no Mark Waid votes?
Still the best combo of action and character Cap's ever had in my view.
Also one of the Captain's best selling eras as well.
And doom and gloom were on a strict diet! Gah I miss the days where you could have a hero without pathos by the pound...

De Matteis and Stern are probably my top. I've also heard well of the Englehart run, but didn't read it myself.

[reversefllash]

Brubaker is right on top of my list right now but that could just be because it has been a long time since I've read good Cap and I love his Winter Soldier story.

I really liked Mark Waid's relaunch and still read issue 2 from it on regularly.
