That's tough. I don't read too many series that aren't solo runs.

Dan Slott - She-Hulk
Grant Morrison - New X-Men
Bryan K. Vaughn - Runaways
Ed McGuiness - Superman/Batman

That's all I can think of. The rest are solo series or miniseries.

Brain Michael Bendis on Powers and Ultimate Spider-man
Robert Kirkman on Invincible, The Walking Dead, and the original Brit miniseries
Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely on WE3
Warren Ellis on Transmetropolitan and NextWave
Stuart Immonen on anything he does, especailly NextWave
Villains United and Secret Six by Gail Simone
Craig Thompson's Goodbye Chunky Rice and Blankets
Bill Willingham on Fables and Day of Vengeance
Bryan K. Vaughn on Y The Last Man
Phil Hestor on the Irredeemable Ant-Man

...ok, I'm just listing stuff I like now.

Don't forget to list ARTISTS, Mr. Artist!

I agree with most of your list, but I can find Ellis to be terribly preachy, when he isn't utterly brilliant, especially in Transmetropolitan. A lot of times I find "preachy" and "british writer" to be synonymous...

Also, have you checked out Mouse Guard? I love the artwork in the books... lots of stipple and it reminds me a lot of Beatrix Potter

I only read the first issue of Mouse Guard so far. Nice stuff. Will check up on the rest in the future.

For artists I like:
Ryan Ottley on Invincible
Stuart Immonen on Nextwave
Justiniano on Day of Vengeance and The Creeper
Phil Hester on Ant-Man
Karl Kerschel on Teen Titans Year One
Ed Mcguinness on Superman/Batman ...currently on Hulk...so far not too crazy about the series
Dale Eaglesham on Villains United
Gabriel Rodriguez on Clive Barker's Great and Secret Show
Ryan Sook on Arkham Asylum Living Hell and X-Factor
Pasqual Ferry on Adam Strange
Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa on Sky Doll

Probably more. Those are folks will check out regardless of the writer or series working on.

Oh yeah, and how did I forget Keith Giffen, writer and artist of the awesome Ambush Bug.

I agree with you on Ellis. Never could get through Transmetropolitan. But check out Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. A very funny beautiful 12 part series.

Nice list, I almost forgot about a few of those, especially Giffen! If you want to see him on level 9 of his insane style, check out his work on Lobo... espcially the short Infanticide limited series.

Don't know.
Maybe try making a comic weekly thread or something but only 4 of us.

Since Swan isn't on MSN I just wanted to post this so he could see whenever.

I know he is a fan of Marvel Zombies.

I don't read enough comics to list that many, but lately I've been enjoying the Planet Hulk series written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan, Aaron Lopresti, Juan Santacruz, Gary Frank, and Takeshi Miyazawa.

One of my older favorites was the Maximum Carnage Spider-Man series.

Right now I'm with the Secret Invasion arc for Marvel.

Trying to get all the stuff relating to that I can.
