Perry

I know what I am picking
Not even close
:)

Jimmy T

I choose....

His Batman Run

Morrison's run really invigorated the Batman line again. I feel that all Batman since has dealt with his writing, as well as continue to use it for an influence.

You have Damian Wayne.
You have Zur En Ah
You have the 'death' of Bruce Wayne from Final Crisis to his Return of Batman story as he's lost through time (the 5 gates & families of Gotham)
Batman Incorporated
Batman & Robin

Such great artists all along the way too!

He's etched his name on the mountainside of greatest Batman writers.

Perry

Morrison is an odd writer for me, I either love his stuff or find it very off putting. I love his "crazy, out of the box thinking" style, most times, but there are times when he just 'Out Morrisons' himself, because he was either really tore up on drugs or so deep in his head that it spoils the story (IE any Crisis book he has touched... or his Invisibles). That said, he is still responsible for creating (co-creating) one of my favorite stories of all time. My pick, forever, is...

All-Star Superman

When you can get me to thoroughly fall in love with a Superman story, hell, Superman as a character, you've done something. Now this is (honestly) more of a group effort pick because I have to question if I would have chosen this if Frank Quietly was NOT the artist on the book? Probably not... well... maybe not, but he was and the story was great, so easily my pick

Jimmy T

I was afraid I would be too much of a homer if I picked All-Star!

But totally worthy of the pick!

And Final Crisis, and the 3 part Superman tie-in, were amazing! :D

Yeah... that is going to be yet another, in a long line of things, that we disagree on
;D 8)

Final Crisis is a crapfest

Jeff

Grant Morrison

For me it's gotta be Doom Patrol.  He redefined the team and brought us Crazy Jane. I love Crazy Jane.

Jimmy T

This is almost impossible! He's such a landmark figure, an artist on a pedestal or worship all to himself!

Jimmy T

Like, I almost ONLY want to pick the covers of issues 6 & 7 for Crisis on Infinite Earths (Supergirl's death, Flash dead covers)

Jeff

George Perez

For me it's going to be the New Teen Titans.  There's only one cover that always comes to mind when I hear his name. New Teen Titans #13.  It was my first realization of how much detail he puts into backgrounds and when he was solidified as my favorite artist.
