Legacy Laurel's Best Writer: Ed Brubaker

The man that killed off Steve Rogers and rewrote the origin of the Marvel Universe in "The Marvel's Project" Ed Brubaker is having another phenomenal year as one of Marvel's top writers with the brilliant "Secret Avengers" with Mike Deodato and the start of the second series of "Incognito" with Sean Phillips, along with a book he's made his own, "Captain America". With a sleek and polished spy like noir style, any of Ed's book's are a joy from start to finish and with such an impressive back catalogue already to his name such as "Gotham Central", "Criminal" and "Sleeper" you know you're in for a treat! On a personal note, I did have a chance to meet Ed at Wizard World LA back in 2007 and got him to sign my copy of Captain America 25 (before having it slabbed by CGC) and I stumbled across his writing class, followed by a class from my all time favourite writer Peter David, an experience I'll truely never forget.
