		<description>You forgot to mention he wrote Spider-Man vs Wolverine.  That alone is enough to put him on this list.</description>

		<description>You know, I&#039;d forgotten all about Triumph (no pun intended) until you mentioned him.  But now that I think about it, aren&#039;t he and Sentry basically the same character?  The same concept, at the very least?</description>

No one! That scene makes him a reason to love comics alone.&quot;

Cool!  where was this published?</description>

		<description>What I&#039;ve always loved about Christopher Priest is not so much his comics (which were good) but his editorial writing skills. I absolutely adored his editorials which he included on the letter pages of the books he edited. I haven&#039;t read them in ages but I still laugh when I think of the one (in the original Ray miniseries) where he starts out with a numberical code and it turns out to be what he thinks should be the correct track order to the latest Prince album. They were brilliant.

His website articles on the comics industry are something to be cherished. Intelligent, incisive, thoughtful and authoritative and with a good sense of the absurdity of it all. 

I love his attitude more than anything. He had on his website (I don&#039;t see it there now) an article about editing comics an absolutely brilliant story of an artist calling him at home on the weekend to complain of how a spaceship was coloured pink. Priest told the artist he&#039;d fix it on Monday. And he said (I&#039;m paraphrasing): &quot;And I did. First thing Monday morning, I went and got an unlisted phone number.&quot;</description>

		<description>Alongside Keith Giffen, Owsley/Priest IS the exact reason I love comics.  Hands down one of my two all-time favorite writers.  Power Man &amp; Iron Fist, Black Panther, Quantum &amp; Woody, Xero... these are great, offbeat books.  He expertly juggles humor, drama, politics, and topical issues without losing a strong P.O.V.  He&#039;s one of comics&#039; auteurs, in that you can&#039;t mistake a Priest comic for being written by anyone else.  It is always uniquely him.

Also, in the 80&#039;s he wrote a great &quot;How to be an editor&quot; guide called &quot;Edited by Owz&quot; that was passed around Marvel and DC.  I found a copy years ago, but it&#039;d be great if it was somehow published officially.</description>

		<description>While I like Darryl Banks, what has be done aside from designing Kyle Rayner and Parallax?

Priest&#039;s &lt;i&gt;Black Panther&lt;/i&gt; run was awesome, even with Kasper Cole donning T&#039;Challa&#039;s gear and shooting people with gel bullets in the final year. So many good moments, but I keep flashing back to &quot;Uptown,&quot; with what Queen Divine Justice (one of Panther&#039;s tribal brides...&lt;b&gt;which he never actually got hot and heavy with&lt;/b&gt;) called &quot;Old Homiez Night&quot;; a major brawl with Power Man, Iron Fist, Falcon and Black Goliath. Also, QDJ ends up bouncing at a club with the Hulk. To quote Panther: &quot;I may not survive this child.&quot;

Awwww...does anybody miss Vincent? I got both of his &quot;inaction figures.&quot; Is that a good thing or a sad thing?</description>

About 1 in, oh, Infinity.

		<description>I remember a scene where Deadpool was incognito at Avengers Mansion, kidnapping Killpanther&#039;s...panther...and accidentally getting Triathlon in the process?

&quot;Hey, all riiiiiiiiight.&quot;
She Hulk gives him the stink eye...
&quot;I mean, OH MY GOD, that leopard just vanished!&quot;

Or some damn thing. Good gag.</description>

		<description>The enthusiasm and fun that comes through in Priest&#039;s writing is what makes him a reason to love comics.

Who else, in the last ten years could have pulled off using both the contemporary Black Panther and the Kirby Black Panther fighting off trolls in Asgard with a bunch of Marvel&#039;s old Cowboy Super-heroes?  No one!  That scene makes him a reason to love comics alone.

A runner-up reason is the very start of his Deadpool run.  I loved it when Deadpool threw away the bag of &quot;every good idea Joe Kelly ever had, and everything that made this book work&quot; in the first few pages.  And then met up with all of the characters Priest used to write... all of them black.  
If only that level of surreality could have extended to the rest of his run.</description>

		<description>Interesting.  I wasn&#039;t sure if he and the other Christopher Priest were the same guy or different.  Thanks for clearing it up!

Oh, and I briefly checked out his site and didn&#039;t see any Not Safe For Work images, but I believe you.  I just wonder how NSFW stuff gets on a minister&#039;s web site.</description>
