Think of it something like a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Right now? I think he's the best in DC.

Really...?

Scott Snyder smokes anyone at DC right now. Easily.

The publisher of 2000AD got an OBE, which gives you more street cred in the East End?

Good for him.

After Morrison and Snyder, who else is good at DC now?

I don't think Morrison is even on the same level as Snyder right now. He's pretty sub-par, IMO. But, for the sake of argument:

Tomasi - Batman & Robin is just as good as Batman right now, if not better at times.

Lemire - Animal Man is on par with Swamp Thing, albeit ST is a bit better.. and his JL Dark has been off to a good start after Milligan's crappy run.

Cornell - Demon Knights is one of the best books at DC.

Fialkov - ditto for I, Vampire.

Higgins - Nightwing is also really good - most of the Bat-books are, actually.

Williams III/Blackman - Batwoman is really good, as well..

Manapul - can't believe I'm saying this, but his Flash has been amazing both in writing and art.

Azzarello - I'm reading Wonder Woman consistently for the first time. Ever. His WW is easily a top 5 book at DC right now, if not top 3.

Yeah, Tomasi, Snyder, Lemire, and Moore are all good.

You are insane about Batwoman. It is the worst book of the entire nu52.
