CBR's Comic's should be good just finished a top 75 writers and artists list (top 40 artists, top 35 writers) and I was mighty pleased to see how high Grant Morrison was on the list, coming in at number 4.

When you consider who topped him that's about as high as he could have realistically placed. Now he has modernity on his side so it'd be interesting to see where he settles in a few years but I think its a brilliant run. One that just kept getting better and better as it went on. I didn't think it had found quite the appeal this poll suggests it had though as I thought it was more hit and miss in the way people took to it (not with me but generally). Can't wait to get to my planned re-read, though I will have to some way down my to read list alas.
Of course that Alan Grant (no. 8) and Norm Breyfogle (no. 5) didn't top their respective list is of course an utter travesty as, like at least one other board member I can think of, its for me the definitive Batman run and quite, quite superb!
