I'm not a Morrison hater, because he's done some absolutely great work in the past, and chances are will likely do some more in the future, but top ten, no, no way. At least in my opinion anyhow.

No, he's a Neil Gaiman wannabe. All Star Superman was great, but his JLA was mediocre and his work on Batman and Final Crisis was pure, unadulterated drek.

I've absolutely loved some of his work and absolutely hated some other. When he's on he's great, but still can't see him as top ten all-time.

Agree, when he's on his game, he can turn out stellar stuff, when he's off, it's not bad it's mind boggeling bad.

Top 25.....maybe....I'd have to have just finished All Star Superman and not recollection of his Batman/Crisis stuff.
