I was going to dig up my copies of Batman 579-581 but apparently they are so bad I've hid them from myself.



Fortunately, the arc is fairly well trod comic blog fodder and for good reason. The comics are bad, but also bad in the way that's fun to write about. The story is stupid and barely makes any sense with a unlikable villain and Batman being a weirdo. The art is the funny sort of hideous where Batman spends the whole arc thrusting his crotch and dressing up like a GI Joe.

Oh my god, these used to come with the UK's Batman Legends comic as the "B" story ("A" was Hush, "C" was usually a classic)
EVERYONE I knew who read it absolutely hated the middle stories. Absolute poo poo.

Despite being Marvel's flagship title, Fantastic Four has a lot of terrible runs.




It's like the dude just read Animal Man and said "gently caress it".

Also I agree, FF has a disproportionately high amount of terrible runs.

To make things even more confusing, Kieron Gillen is doing a sequel to Origin called Origin II :downs:

The hell it was. It was by far the weakest link and turned me off the Supreme Power books since it was the first thing I read in that setting. Only later did I find out that the main comics actually had something to say worth reading about (and art that wasn't Dillon).

I agree with this, the SP spinoff was rubbish, main volumes were pretty good apart from the totally rushed ending.

Millar is so hit and miss it's crazy. Any stuff he has full reign on is usually total garbage, Wanted is one of the worst things I've ever read.

I just can't believe anyone would use the name "Hopeless" as a writer :psyduck:
