Creators you would buy comics by no questions asked...

I guess we all have creators who work we'll buy reguardless of company, title, or whatever. I'll buy almost anything with Jim Starlin, Peter David, Howard Chaykin, and John Cassaday involved.
Know this: I would rather be hated for being honest for my opinions, than being loved as a liar!

Hickman, Gaiman, and I (at this time) would try anything by Rob Layman or Tim Seely

I am more inclined to follow creative pairings:

Fraction + Aja

Busiek + Anderson

And then there's the creator + genre combo:

Bendis + street level superhero

Chris Priest. I did, in fact. After I read Quantum & Woody, I bought the Black Panther run and read it. I then bought everything else I could find his name tied to. Outside of the end of Power Man and Iron Fist, though, most of it was painful.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

I think Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman are the only writers, and Eduardo Risso the only artist, I will buy regardless of character, company, collaborator or genre. Most others are dependent on one of those other variables before I'll just blindly pick them up. I may be forgetting someone...but that's what the edit button is for. :)

Right now:
Paul Pope
Brandon Graham
Michel Fiffe

They put out so few books I can afford to.

In the past and if I had more money to spend on comics:
Jim Shooter (I started his Dark Horse/Gold Key runs but dropped off. Now I'd like to pick them up)
Alan Moore
Mike Allred
Warren Ellis
Joe Casey
C. Scott Morse
Ladronn
Larry Stroman (although I've never read Alien Legion)
Travis Charest
Simon Roy
Giannis Milligiannis
Josh Dysart
Moebius
Jodorowsky
Matt Kindt
Bill Sienkiewicz
David Mazzucchelli (especially his newer stuff)
Sean Phillips
Mignola

I'm sure I'm missing some.
