Ah yes. Jason Aaron's physical and mental makeover of the character was... unique.

I think they got a little too zany with Englehart writing the book and Milgrom's art really turned me off.  But JB beefed up the lineup by bringing in some favorite members and bringing in Jim Hammond (so the group no longer felt like the "B Team"), but unfortunately the run was cut short.

He's just a natural at storytelling. 

X-Men, Fantastic Four, She-Hulk, Namor, West Coast Avengers, Hulk, Superman, Next Men, Spider-Man, Doom Patrol... seriously, I feel like every title he's done has expanded the characters and given us stories about *them,* not some generic superhero story with the book's characters slotted in.

It's a rare talent. 

Thank you, JB.

Another favorite of mine that wouldn’t be, otherwise, is OMAC.

I tend to echo on the plotting/ writing side what I've been hearing from you all- She Hulk (even in FF and even more in the solo book), SUperman (made a character being written by the numbers at best and real boring at worst into an exciting and dynamic character again), and Doom.

Doom Patrol

His version is so much better than what it became. The brand of being so obnoxiously weird and quirky that you have to be high on some kind of drugs to understand and enjoy it. Making it niche. Which of course, the recent  TV series adapted. And the idea that Niles Caulder caused everyone's accidents.
