Thanks, Null. I was going to specifically mention
Chris Morrison.* The art is good, the story is compelling, but when he stopped updating (in 2007!), the readers were left hanging without resolution. I can't hold the hiatus against him, though. Having to compromise pretty much everything in life in order to maintain a meal ticket is not how I'd like to spend my life, either. It's hard to stay focused on the story if your brain is too busy worrying about your real life problems.
