In researching Alan Moore books to see if there were any books that jumped out as real bad (even though I was very recently complaining a lot about TKJ I actually think it's a good book if you look at it on its own), I am surprised to learn he coworote an issue of The Maxx. I don't know in what capacity/to what extent he contributed to the book, but issue #21 apparently had some Alan Moore in it.

His wife and their mutual lover also took off with his kids. Open relationships never work.

I mean they didn't disappear or anything, but he and his first wife shared a relationship with another woman and the wife left him for her, taking the kids.

This doesn't answer my question at all because this looks loving amazing. Aphrodite posted:His wife and their mutual lover also took off with his kids. I disagree, but it does take a lot of work and most people who do have superficial ideas about free love and just wanting to bang a lot and poo poo. My favorite story is Anthony Burch announcing he badgered his wife into an open relationship on twitter, only to then complain she kept racking up lovers and he was going entirely without sex from anyone.

It's been ages since I read the Maxx but I hope you aren't bringing that up as a bad comic because the Maxx is legit really good. Not excellent (it was a bit all over the place without a solid plan) but was really good. Moore's work for hire stuff in the 90s is really interesting. Even his Spawn stuff was good in the context of the rest of the series. Ditto for Gaiman.

I should probably feel lucky that the worst comics I've read have been: Dark Knight Strikes Again, Youngblood, and the 2008 Titans series. Youngblood I heard was something that was like Teen Titans, so I checked it out and got first-hand exposure to Liefeld for the first time. The 2008 Titans series was kind-of 50/50 for me. I hated the Jericho stuff (I have never liked his character to begin with), thought the first arc was bad, and hated it even more when it became a book about Deathstroke and his team. But then I liked the arc about them drifting apart, and there were small moments I liked. For instance, I liked in issue 4 (?) when Beast Boy and Raven had a "not-date" and Dick and Starfire had a relatively mature conversation about sex for a comic like that. Overall, still not something I'd really recommend. Dark Knight Strikes Again is probably the worst. Horrendous art, way too much of Frank Miller's lovely satire, and the Wonder Woman/Superman sex scene is honestly the worst sex scene in any piece of fiction that I've seen.

Moore's Voodoo and Deathblow miniseries were both pretty awful, but I didn't mind his Youngblood so much, as a spinoff of the underrated Judgement Day (Moore's insane superhero courtroom drama that served as the historical backstory for Liefeld's entire shared universe, bringing in pulp roots the same way Ellis did in Planetary).

I don't really remember bad comics I've read beyond Red Hood and the Outlaws and a half dozen lovely Justice League one-shots the library had. Oh, and Spawn.

redbackground posted:Millennium let me down, but the three Nemo one-shots were way back on-point, especially Heart of Ice. Yeah Millennium just goes all over the drat place. Heart of Ice and Rose of Berlin are both excellent, but I never got around to reading River of Ghosts. At least I was able to appreciate Millennium more after reading through annotations, even if I wasn't a huge fan of the story. Just the sheer depth of references present in all of LoEG is astounding.

 This keeps getting passed around on tumblr, constantly, as a real thing and not an edit, and as a trans girl myself I honestly just find it really obnoxious and badly written. Cringe. I'm sure Wonder Woman is cool with trans rights and stuff, but hoo boy there is such a thing as subtly.
