Best Comic Writers Right Now | Comics Aficionados #336

Comic books are heating up again—and the best writers in the industry are leading the comeback. Who’s carrying comics in 2026 right now? Comic books may be a visual medium, but without great writing nothing sticks. In this episode of Comics Aficionados #336, Wes and the panel cut through the hype, politics, and industry niceties to debate the best comic writers working today. From Scott Snyder reigniting DC with Absolute Batman, to Josh Williamson delivering on Superman and G.I. Joe, to Robert Kirkman expanding Transformers, Void Rivals, and Battle Beast, the talent pool is stronger than it’s been in years. Geoff Johns may have the deepest lineup in comics right now with Geiger, Rook: Exodus, Hyde Street, and Redcoat. Mark Millar keeps stacking hits in the Millarworld universe. Rising names like Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Jeremy Adams are also proving reader-first storytelling still matters. If comics are rebounding, these are the creators driving it. Jump into the live chat and let your voice be heard.
