10 of Our Favorite Comic Writers of 2013

By Andy Hunsaker

What did we like about 2013? Apparently, sledgehammer licking and medical website coding minutiae. But as far as comic books go, we liked a lot! Event books that were actually interesting and more! We here at Crave Online have certainly done our share of ranking things, and we will do so in the figure, but we also like liking things without fussing about exactly how much we like one thing and whether or not the like of that one thing outranks how much we like the other things. Why quantify enjoyment? Why not just enjoy enjoyment?

In that spirit, your Book Report hosts Andy Hunsaker and Iann Robinson have formed a quick list of ten writers whose work we enjoyed in 2013, with a brief sampling of each. This is in no particular order and is in no way exhaustive – feel free to add your own choices as well! Let’s share some quality writing recommendations!

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast.  Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs.  If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title.  If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
