Byrne's worst sin in my opinion was how he stared at a whole decade of PAD-written Hulk and said "gently caress that". It ruined the character and his supporting cast in such a way that nobody had a clue on what to do with the Hulk afterwards until Greg Pak came along.

No good run on Fantastic Four can justify every bad thing Byrne did since, but his Hulk run after PAD is the closest thing I can think to horrible on how it completely hosed the status-quo permanently.

For gently caress's sake, DC.

How has Batman: Fortunate Son been ignored for so long? If you want a plot summary, A rock star named Izaak Crowe goes on a drug-induced psychotic cross country rampage while taking advice from a hallucination of Elvis. Batman pursues and we find out that Rock and Roll is "not allowed in the cave"...in part because his dad told him not to listen to "that trash"...just before they went to the Zorro movie.

I mean, besides the horrendously off artwork:


Batman being horrified by Great Balls of Fire and I Am the Walrus of all things:


And finally, Batman's summation of Punk Rock:


It may just be the stupidest comic ever written about Batman.

I don't think quality was ever a concern for DC. They just roll with whatever and the more power to them.

It's not like Marvel's spotless when it comes to quality either. One could write a thesis about X-Treme X-Men or any other of Claremont's incredibly lovely runs in the last twenty years. One thing about DC is that I will always blame them for not forcing Miller to finish his The Goddamn Batman series -- so bad that it was awesome.

Brubaker's run was just mediocre, much like Brian Wood's one presently. No reason for it to be in this thread. And Fraction had some good ideas -- he just couldn't juggle the huge cast at all, yet he kept bringing in more characters to his book every issue.

He's already breaking ground with all those *random* romances that would make Chuck Austen clap in awe. Bendis run will be in a future iteration of this thread, surely.

Like the arc with Mister Sinister's weird city was loving garbage.

You are insane. That poo poo was bonkers as hell and a good use of a one-note villain that pretty much nobody cared after the 90's ended.

I liked some Scott Lobdell stuff in the X-Men 20 years ago, but drat, what a hack he became halfway through the 90's, getting worse and worse the more time went by.
