Avengers 200 is toss, but that's because of the last minute re-write, the rest of Shooter's Avengers run is actually quite good I mean it contains the Korvac saga ffs.

In terms of runs I hate then Dan Jurgens Justice League America #61-77 (1992-1993). Happens right after Giffen/DeMatteis JLA comes to a superb climax and manages to completely loving ruin 3 characters and the entire concept within 3 pages, when Superman shows up and Fire/Ice act like generic school girls in love who immediately dump Max Lord. Then it got even worse (EXTREEEEEEME JUSTICE) until they had to dump the lot and hand it over to Grant Morrison.

Mackie's X-Factor had the most bizarre line up of characters* that didn't work. Forge! Polaris! Sabretooth! Mystique! Alpha Flight's breakout character Wildchild! A hard light hologram version of Bishop's sister you all wanted to forget existed Shard!

You won't believe who the government has funded them to fight... well it's nobody really, mainly each other and The Adversary. Largely they just argue and hang around their own headquarters.


*but not the worst that honour goes to the Eve of Destruction X-Men team.

Apart from bits of the Casey run and the start of Brubaker (before Sh'iar Cloud Strife showed up) you could say Uncanny X-Men has been pretty rubbish since Lobdell lost the plot around the Age of Apocalypse (20 years ago). Lobdell wanted them to lose Operation Zero Tolerance and fought with editors until he decided to leave, leading to Seagal being told what to write by editors until he had enough and quit. Alan Davis was fun but the books were just killing time until APOCALYPSE: THE TWELVE. Nobody wants to remember that story, because it was a jumbled mess which someone decided to let Liefeld draw parts of resulting in delays and it being shipped out of order. Not that it mattered since Cable's destiny to defeat Apocalypse (75 issues in at this point) resulted in him doing nothing but get kidnapped.

Then you get NEO Claremont, Austen and Claremont V3 aka it's Sage and Psylocke! you WILL like them! as they go on another exciting adventure to the most interesting place on Earth, the Savage Land!

Has there been any other titles that have been so mediocre for so long? Teen Titans?

Half of Deathmate was done by Valiant and made vague sense, the other half (Including DEATHMATE RED) was done by Image and was massively delayed and less well received.
