I much prefer Morrison's work to fellow his Scot, Mark Millar's; Morrison, to my mind, is more consistent (as in, consistently good) than most of the other hot-zot comic book writers: Azzarello, Milligan, Millar (definitely better & more consistent than Millar), Hickman, Bendis, Ellis, Ennis (who, to be fair, isn't really a superhero writer, unless you count his takedown of the genre The Boys and its affiliated mini series), Willingham, Waid, even Vaughan. (Haven't read enough of Jason Aaron's Marvel work to form an opinion of his superhero-writing chops, but I loved Scalped.)

Everybody who tried to write Animal Man after Morrison's
