Johns, Meltzer and Waid owe it all to Moore and Watchmen. All modern comics do.
Actually, I am reading Brubaker, Millar, Ellis, Ennis, etc. But they aren't copying what was done by Moore. They may be the rare few that were "inspired" by Moore.
My chief complaint is all of the $#it that people vomited out that were essentially copying Moore's work, and it made comics really, really crappy for a very long time. There are the rare exceptions, but for the most part, 90% of the comics for the 10 to 15 years following Watchmen were crummy.
I love Brubaker's Daredevil and Captain America.........Bendis, he's a great person and will talk your ears off, but his stories are losing their shine for me. Ultimate Spider-man hasn't been good for some time. Secret Invasion? Don't get me started on that one, NOTHING changes.
And as for Meltzer, Johns and Waid "owing" it to Moore, I disagree. Their styles are more Silver Age if anything. Not Moore like at all really.
Moore has his fair share of turds as well. Voodoo? Image 1963? Supreme? I liked his Supreme, but they are silver age rehash stories. Besides, it his fans that deify him that I dislike more than Moore himself.
"For the Man Who Has Everything", "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", and "The Killing Joke" are amazing stories and are among my favorites that I have read to date.
If you are an Alan Moore fan and have never seen the story pitch for "Twilight of the Super-heroes", you owe it to yourself to check it out.
If you liked Kingdom Come, you will enjoy it as well.
