British invasion

No hate on Morrison but he really isn't nearly as prolific a writer as Moore or Gaiman, their writing feels less jarring and more pleasant to read. I won't say that he has better ideas either.

>Mfw Grant Morrison was in a band

Any other Yea Forums artist that did this when they were younger? I'm really interested in Yea Forums artist that did Yea Forums.

alan moore was in a band for a minute

Millar is more respectable because he embraces his nature as a peddler of adaptation-bait trash. He knows what he is and he doesn't try to hide it.

Morrison is thirsty as fuck for adaptation moolah, but he lives in denial and pretentiously acts like he's bestowing upon us divine revelations with every cashgrab. His delusions of grandeur are so great that he believes his own shit doesn't stink.

Young Moore looks like in just a couple days he'll do a school shooting.

milligan > gaiman desu

Why is Grant the most well groomed?
He could’ve been a musician or a model if he really wanted to go that route.

You know, those pictures of Grant makes him seem like he a slimmer, less acne ridden version of jim shooter

Millar has enough integrity and talent to not be doing Big 2 work or adapting Brave New World for Syfy network in 2019
Grant's pathetic

I know Gerard Way was in one before he started writing comics. Can't remember the name though. I think it was pretty obscure.

He did comics? What?

It is not in the pic but current Gaiman aged like fine wine.

Gaiman reigns supreme tbqh.

he developed a cartoon for nickelodeon iirc

Gaiman is definitely in on the chaos wizardry train, he's just not as outspoken as the other guys. The Endless are a very chaoist way of putting things, and while I don't remember any particular ones, having read none of his stuff in a while, I have definitely came across subtle magic and occultist references in his work (and I believe his character in Bacchus flat out performs a ritual before passing out on Moore's hash cloud, but it's been a while since I've read it too).
Also, he's friends with both Moore and Morrison, how can you be friends with either of those two for 30 years without dabbling in magic at least for a laugh.

>Also, he's friends with both Moore and Morrison
When was the last time anyone saw Gaiman being friendly with Morrison?

He was into that mod revival / neo-psych shit and wearing fancy suits is at least 70% of the subculture.
Pretty based if you ask me, his band is great even Coincidentally, I've been listening to this song on repeat, and it's a band putting music to a great Alan Moore poem. The singer IS a furry though

Pretty recently, stop trying to overdramaticize this already overdramatic feud between Moore and Morrison

what does Delano, Jenkins and Milligan rank with the rest plus Ennis and Ellis
who are other British invasion writers?
why don't Abnett and lanning count
does Gillen go in

What about Carey?

cos he went bald

>Millar is more respectable because he embraces his nature as a peddler of adaptation-bait trash. He knows what he is and he doesn't try to hide it.
Something I've always liked about him, to be honest

>why don't Abnett and lanning count
did they ever do anything that had much of an impact?

Moore and Morrison are opposing forces. Morrison generally writes reconstructive fiction, designed to update and reaffirm super hero comics in general. Moore’s biggest ideas are mostly deconstructive, stuff like his failed Twilight of the Supergods are all about breaking down superhero comics to show it doesn’t work. Sorta like a less crass Garth Ennis. Now not everything fits perfectly in these two corners as both are pretty prolific writers who have more than one idea in their head but I think it makes sense thematically that they hate each other. Honestly I think it depends on what you like in fiction which is greater. Both have written nearly perfect comics (and some duds) so I’d put them at the same level. Gaiman is probably better at writing than those two but I’m a fanboy for him so what do I know?

Anyone who puts Morrison above Gaiman or Moore is a confirmed brainlet. Personally, Moore is probably my favorite but I can actually understand why someone might like Gaiman better than him.

Alan Moore has a rap album

I thought Carey was American

Can these guys write anything outside of cape stories? Noire, Drama, Romance, Hard Sci-fi?

You should look at him now, age is really starting to catch up with him.

Claremont should be in there instead of Gaiman. Gaiman is only in because he's mainstream popular. Are Sandman and the other few big 2 books he's written good? Absolutely, but Claremont not only predates everyone in the image in being a "British Invader", he also undeniably had a greater influence on the industry by turning the X-Men into the most popular cape franchise for several decades.

Gaiman is more of a book writer than a comic writer, Moore writes outside the genre quite a bit plus he dabbles in books/movies. Morrison does indie stuff all the time but out of the three he's probably the most entrenched within the genre.

No, he's from Liverpool.

Ennis had the most amazing slip into utter irrelevance. He just cranks shit out for dynamite now

All better than Morrison

Last I remembered they were still talking when Morrison's book was out in 2011. And of course was from 2013.

You wish. About the only people on that list who'd be better than Morrison would be Milligan and Ennis.

I can't read Claremont.

based and true

Queer. Morrison and Moore both say they got their starts trying to imitate him, I think they're both better as well and I think page for page Gaiman is a better writer, but in terms of BRITISH INVASION, he's the Brit that created the biggest sensation in all of capes for the better part of 3 decades. I dunno just my opinion.

Name one good Claremont story that doesn't involve mutants.

responding to your own post with a different device doesn't make you two separate people

They all look like young hippies... I love it.

His Aliens stuff was good

huh sweaty xenos will absorb parts of their hosts DNA so they're mutants next pls
It's kind of ironic really, because while it's kinda easy to see how Claremont influenced both a lot, they (along with Moore and Frank) are the main reasons Claremont became "outdated" (which is actually arguable, I honestly believe he could have kept producing X-books for the rest of his life without a drop in quality, and the drop he had was mostly due to being rusty and not having room to develop the characters, something he desperately needs)

>this obvious bait
Come on man, Moore is still the best.

Shut the fuck up retard it's an entirely different setting, set of characters, tone and storytelling style.

Gaiman didn't even start til the end of the 1980s

What the fuck are you rambling about, user asked you to mention a good story by Claremont without mutants, and xenomorphs are mutants.
I'm just messin with you lad

my bad

I like Morrison for a lot of reasons, but a big part of it is because he isnt ashamed of liking/writing comic books.

Why was Morrison so hot?

>was
admit it, you still would

>Can these guys write anything outside of cape stories?
Oh definitely. They've all got a bunch of non-superhero stories, especially Moore and & Gaiman, most of whom's work aren't superhero books.

>Gaiman is only in because he's mainstream popular.
He was also the backbone of DC's Vertigo line

Been meaning to get more into his and Pat Mills' work, they seem to be an inspiration for most british creators and from what I've glanced from both, it all seems nice.
Is there something smaller by Talbot? I'm only aware of Luter Arkwright and I gotta take a deep breath before tackling a task like that.

He rocked the shaved head look well, and really got into shape in his thirties

My chemical romance was obscure?

Sandman was more influential than anything Claremont ever did desu.

His two-issue Batman story, Tale of One Bad Rat, his recent graphic novels with his family members

Lmfao Claremont directly influenced 2 of the people in this image! Moore and Morrison both said they tried to imitate him in their earlier gigs.

Outside of North America, yes

I am talking about his work being more influential and I don't see the claremont influence on Gaiman.

This.

>This is what Moorefags actually believe
Commie brainlet faggots

Twilight was a deliberate false-flag attempt though if it had been made it would've most likely been a hit sensation and resulted in affecting DC in the exact opposite of what Moore wanted. So like Kingdom Come except even worse.

I'd argue that Moore's heights are greater than Morrison, but Morrison's standard is much higher than Moore.

nice backpedaling

Moore’s mediocre is better than Morrison’s best

Moore's best is objectively worse than Moore's mediocre.

You seem confused.

Is it? I feel Morrison relies way too much on meta-commentary as plot devices within his stories. Sure, Moore has his hang up on deconstructions but there's a lot more variety there in comparison.

that made me uncomfortable

A variety of suckage.

That's literally what I tried to say in the original post retard, too bad you couldn't grasp it.

Moore's standard writing is way better than Morrison's best imo. He can dabble with the same Grand concepts without fucking up the tightness of the plot and making it jarring for the readers.

ah, when did Moore talk about imitating Claremont?

Gayman just talks like a faggot pseudointellectual.

I mostly like their later work better than their 80s work.
Their later stuff is kinder and it feels like the writings of a sort of person I could have a conversation with and be understood which is a rare feeling for me.

>straight haired man is the only one getting bald
This image makes me sad

Because they're the ones who have the same British magic realism shit, and are the ones still relevant, while Milligan and Delano faded away. Guys like Ennis and Ellis have different styles of writing.

No, they're not. Captain Britain, Supreme and Tom Strong exist, even if you haven't read them.

Claremont is relevant only because of X fags. He hasn't ever written anything good.

>Guys like Ennis and Ellis have different styles of writing
not really.

How is someone like Ennis similar to Gaiman or Morrison? Ellis is the sci fi counterpart to them.

You know, i knew exactly What kind of music young Grant Morrison would play and I wasn't wrong

How is he not? And is Ellis supposed to be different because "dude sci fi lmao"? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Morrison is sci-fi too.

Came here to say this

My original post did mention british magic realism. Ennis' writing style is completely different. Compare Sandman or books of magic to Punisher Max or Battlefields.

>Guys like Ennis and Ellis have different styles of writing.
they also came later

Hey I made that picture years ago.

Gaiman is the best writer of them all, and Sandman is one of his lesser books

No offense but you sound kind of stupid.

What other gaimen comics should I read? Comics, not prose.

His band was the musical guest for an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, which in turn was also created by a musician, the lead vocalist of The Aquabats.

He created The Umbrella Academy, which got adapted into a Netflix show.

They were super popular around the world during the peak of emo and were arguably more popular in the UK than in their home country. Also whenever people talk about TUA on Netflix, they always bring up Gerard's past as the singer of MCR.

He's right though.

Miracleman, books of magic.

Disagree. Read a lot of Gaiman books, both comics and Novels, Sandman is his best work by some distance.

>Gaiman's Miracleman.

His eternals and 1602 are great. Read Sandman if you haven't yet.

Truth hurts Grant?

>you sound kind of stupid.
I'm really not seeing it

Fuck you.

Young Morrison kinda cute

Nah you are just a dumb dumb who doesn't understand big words.

I think his work on Spawn is his lowest, bu yeah i agree Gaiman is by far the best one

Moore is definitely better at comics.

You wouldn't be stupid if you did

1602 was a wild fucking ride. I wish he could do something like that again

His Miracleman is poised to resume in December this year.

Mr Punch is his best work

Violent cases too.

not being able to guess what your arbitrary reasoning is doesn't make someone stupid

If you look around online at least 75% of online artists have dabbled in Yea Forums at one point

Who’s Wondy who’s Super who’s Bats?

Moore is bats while Morrison is windy. Gaiman can only be Supes.

Sandman is just Gaiman aping Moore's Swamp Thing.

> who’s Super
Moore, he's the one who got things rolling and inspired the other 2.
>who’s Bats?
Gaiman, he came after, and was inspired by the former, but he's arguably more successful/a bigger deal
>Who’s Wondy
Morrison, he's the one people pretend is as important as the other 2 to be polite/out of respect

Look up Morrison's speech on it on yt

A bit rough but still good

This post is just proof that you have neither read Sandman nor Swamp thing.

Graveyard Books

To be fair, Sandman does find itself pretty quickly, but it certainly started as Gaiman doing Moore's Swamp Thing. I think Gaiman has even admitted this.

>Implying Morrison can take a punch.

Young Alan Moore is Moe as fuck.

>opens by saying he's drunk and in half an hour will come up on drugs
>says to imagine he's Sean Connery and starts talking about being abducted by aliens in 1994

His Pop Magic essay may be a better starting point.

well, he's getting on now, but back in the day he was pretty ripped

My personal three are Moore, Campbell and Talbot.

David Hine is the real British kino writer
