For the new regime... I'll try out Azzarello and hopefully buy all of Rucka's, but avoid Austen's.
Put I would love those writers mentioned above put on the line... Morrison, Waid, and Busiek as the three principals. As much as I love Rucka, I want to see him writing more Batman.
I actually enjoy Lee's artwork quite a bit, he's certainly not my favorite penciller, but I think he has great storytelling skills. Despite the relatively weak Loeb story on Hush, Lee pulled it off wonderfully.
