I didn't think it was widely panned enough to post here, but someone on a website once put it down as one of 2012's worst comics, so I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Jason Aaron's Incredible Hulk. It was awful and nearly killed my interest in the Hulk forever. Bald, snarky, badly drawn Hulk teaming up with the Punisher to fight humanoid dogs was...not one of the worst things I ever read, but drat close. It was extremely disappointing to be look up his work after reading the latest Thor(which is amazing and everyone should read), and finding out he did that. It was a good thing that particular arc was called Stay Angry, because reading it, I did.

bobkatt013 posted:Here is an easy way to get the whole thing. Just start from here and get all 11 volumes! I'm guessing something called "complete" probably shouldn't be in eleven pieces. Or is it Sputnik posted:I liked "Stay Angry" because it was basically "Crank: The Comic", but holy lol should they have picked another artist. Art like this is forever etched into my memory as a reminder of that arc.

bobkatt013 posted:What do you mean? It is complete in that it has every issue of the clone saga. It is just so massive that it needs 11 volumes. It just seems silly to me. "Yeah, I've got The Complete X! No, not the complete Complete X, only the first volume of it." "Complete" omnibusses like the X-Statix one are probably a bitch to actually produce, though, and I get and understand that. I just think calling something complete when it isn't is weird.

In a lot of ways their worse then your average bad run because bad events are highly publicized trainwrecks that are hyped as totally the next big thing.

Nipponophile posted:How about Chris Claremont's run on Exiles in Vol. 2? I heard it was mandated he could only use his own certain characters though, so it wasn't entirely his fault. The bugs-in-a-crystal-palace reveal was already dragging it down anyway and was a matter of time before it's quality dipped lower.

The Clone Wars has the distinction of being so bad an episode of the animated series was actually called "I Really Really Hate Clones".

McSpanky posted:Also in the animated series finale, a squad of dimension-hopping Spider-Men (long story) meet one clearly meant to be the Spider-Man of the comics and he tells the series's version about his insane Clone Saga-hosed life, and "our" Spidey's like "wow and I thought MY troubles were bad, good luck with all that!" "I don't think I want to hear YOUR story!" -"Our" Spidy to the Ben Reily version. The animated series was really really great for a lot of reasons.

Thinking about all the comics I read, the Threeboot Legion of Super Heroes leaves a really bad taste in my mouth every time I think about it. The dialogue was terrible, the art was mediocre and kind of generic, and it replaced a much better version. However, my love for the Zeroboot Legion may mean this is just fanboyism. I'm not really sure what the standard opinion is.

Waid being awesome I can agree on, if hit and miss for me personally, but Kitson's stuff just looks like your average modern comic book art to me. Nothing about it really stands out, but it's not really bad.

Wade Wilson posted:Was there actually anywhere for Runaways to go after The Pride was destroyed by the beings that they worked for? I haven't read all of the Runaways, just what my school library had, but after the Pride they just sort of wandered around without any real goal. It was still fun and an enjoyable read, though.

Gymer posted:Only Chase and Nico got dumped in that train wreck; however Victor's technically an Avenger now, as part of Pym's AI taskforce. Which, as Victor pointed out, is a bit weird since they know Victor entire purpose is to betray the Avengers. You'd think they'd at least check him out, do some diagnostics or something at all to make sure he doesn't have any secret programs in him.

muscles like this? posted:Frankly I never really liked the whole "Dark Reign" direction in the first place. Mostly because the whole bit with Osborn's rise to power never made any amount of sense. Yup, the Dark Reign era was too dumb for me. I was happy when the Heroic Age came after Siege and things got better, but then it went back downhill.

Dacap posted:I enjoyed Bendis' Avengers for the most part but man did he completely miss the mark with Noh-Varr. That Protector identity and costume were so far away from what that character should be and I would've preferred he had just created a new character in his place. Don't remind me. I barely kept being a Noh Varr fan during that phase.

bobkatt013 posted:Speaking of Young Avengers. The first 12 issues and special are pretty good. However, due to the writers other commitments he was unable to continue the title and it left the characters in limbo. So last year out came Avengers: The Children's Crusade. The story made no sense what so ever and completly destroyed some characters. It had delays and everything about it was pointless and awful. It destroyed some characters more then others. Poor Stature...on the plus side, it made it so there could be new mutants again, and Scott Lang!

muscles like this? posted:What exactly happened in The Children's Crusade anyway? All I've ever heard about it is that its terrible. The YA look for Scarlet Witch, Dr. Doom has taken her in and she's lost her memory, Doom is trying to marry her in a ploy to get her powers, Scarlet Witch regains her memories and undoes the no more mutants thing, Stature is killed and her father(the second Ant Man) is brought to life.

Oh yeah, and Jonas(Young Vision) died. Iron Lad came back and wanted to use time travel to fix things but everyone told him not to so he wouldn't gently caress the timeline Age of Ultron style, he got angry and Kang like and left, and now he's showing up in FF.

Avengers Arena has been the worst Marvel book since Marvel NOW! started. It was just totally pointless. Nothing positive came out of it, and getting it instead of a Braddock Acadamy book is a tragedy.
