Help! Best markers?

I know this is a silly topic, but I was having a hard time finding the answer out there on the interwebz, so I thought, "Hey, I'll ask NS." I like to color, like with markers. It is silly but it's really relaxing and fun. So I started out with just a crayola pack, but they don't have the greatest range of colors (especially skin tones...since when are people colored bright pinkish-orange?). Then I got a huge RoseArt pack, and it has a better range but the markers aren't great quality. They go dry after coloring with the same color for too long and they have very uneven coverage. I went on amazon looking at reviews, but I didn't find too many actual reviews.

So does anybody know, what are the best coloring markers? Or at least, the best ones for under $100. I'm looking for a large color range including skin tones and not too much bleeding or going dry.

I have no idea, but I know who will. Dr. Google (www.google.com). He knows sooooo much.

I use Prismacolor, but they can get pretty expensive. Try buying them on eBay, though. They work like paints...very smooth. :D

Hmm, I've seen a lot on Prismacolor. Thank you. :)
