That depends how you want to define great.

If you are concerned with the literal quality of the narrative, structure, etc. and want to compare it favorably to the all time great authors of literature then I think he falls vastly short of the mark.

However, if you are looking at other things like appeal, lasting appeal, quantity, etc. then perhaps he is.

He is an all time great author in the same way J. K. Rowlings would be if she continued to write stuff similar to and as popular as Harry Potter.

He restructured his media. That's noteworthy. Yoss should diaf for comparing anyone to JK Rowling.

No way. He is a hack who stole from his artists and writers and took the credit from them.
