Keith Giffen whittles down the time by being one of the cleverest and funniest storytellers in comics. He showed us the mundane and behind the scenes side of superhero life when grim and gritty left a bad aftertaste. Giffen continues to bring a visual humor to the usual mayhem and carnage you're used to seeing in a comic. Today, he is one of the masterminds behind the DCU overhaul with stories and tie ins on 52 and Countdown that lead into major events like Final Crisis and beyond.
