IMHO, Joss Wheedon is an excellent writer...as long as there is someone standing over his shoulder with a nail-studded Editor's Stick. Once that goes away, his stuff ranges from mildly entertaining to 'pitchfork-wielding mob' bad.

Anyone who's read 'The Astonishing X-Men' under his rule and seen what he did to Kitty understands what I mean by 'pitchfork-wielding mob'.

As for comparing his writing to Homicide, that's sort of like comparing 'Shrek 3' to 'WALL-E'. (Incidentally, for those who think WALL-E is being hypocritical, consider; the only merchandising that has come out for WALL-E that I have been able to find is a computer game. No McD or BK toys, no T-Shirts, no action figures, no NOTHING)
