Favorite Comic Writers of 2011

Favorite Comic Book Writers of 2011

2011, to say the least, was big for comics. After cooling down from mega events (kind of) DC and Marvel returned to the form with Flashpoint and Fear Itself, all of which was overshadowed by DC’s relaunch, The New 52. Several big creators from the 90′s returned to the big time, the 22-page format began to dwindle away, and if that wasn’t enough this was THE YEAR of day-and-date digital comics, more than 50% of comics sold every Wednesday are now available digitally the same day their released in stores.

So in honor of the last year we are returning to our “favorites” – throughout the coming weeks each writer for the site gets one selection for different categories such as favorite writers and artists to their favorite character, book, cover, death, and more, each spanning the 2011 year.

Our favorite writers category includes any comic book writer from 2011; whether they wrote a monthly comic series, an original graphic novel, one single issue, or were the host to a span of different content, if they wrote comics, they could be someone’s favorite.

Gail Simone launches a new two-parter “Hostile Takeover” in Birds of Prey #12. The issue jumps back and forth between Huntress, who is both assisting and attempting to recruit the Question on to the team, and pretty much everyone else (Hawk, Dove, Black Canary, Lady Blackhawk) who are infiltrating a rather unusual building in Gotham that seems to have no real floor plans on file anywhere, and whose tenants have come to Oracle’s attention.

Who Is… The Huntress?

Like any DC character who’s been around for more than, say, ten years, there’s no simple answer to that question. Characters get complicated when reality folds and bends around them semi-regularly. Never the less, I will try and muddle through what should have been a simple history.

One of the reasons I really like Gail Simone’s writing is that she is willing to let things build, even simmer, for a while. The Birds of Prey and the Secret Six have crossed paths several times over the last few years, in and out of costume. There have been various hints and signs that Catman and Huntress would like to see a great deal more of each other, mutually out of costume.
