Legendary Star Lord..... I got back into comics and was like 2 years in and thought, hey, it can't be THAT bad.... and it was.

Runner up is Spiderverse

>>85007562

I gave this a read for the nude girls and was somehow disappointed in more ways then one...

Is Ultra any good.

>>85007562
Damn, i remember reading this back in 2007 and enjoying it. Should i read it again to see if it's really that bad or keep the nice memories?

>>85007537
"Spider-man bargains with devil" sets the bar pretty damn high

I mean there's been worse written crap, but it's just such an overwhelmingly shitty event which sent the character on a downward spiral from which he's never pulled up that OMD is the single worst story because it's effects just keep on existing

>>85007794
Now days, it reads like SJW propaganda.

That's one of them. Funny you make this thread -

I was going through all my boxes from 2008 when I started collecting. I thought "I don't know if I can sit down and re-read all of these right now, but I gotta give away the ones that were subpar or lame."

I can't believe how fucking good Spider-Man comics were RIGHT before One More Day. Even though I was pissed about the secret identity being gone, plenty of funny and thrilling stories were coming through. Even Friendly Neighborhood. Then it got followed up with the boring, stupid shit that One More Day was.

I feel bad because Spider-Man is my all time favorite fictional character ever - I collected every issue from the start of Back in Black up until the very latest relaunch with Parker Industries. I just couldn't take Slott's writing anymore. But I can't just sit on 200 comics that I don't re-read or enjoy, I want to keep a short collection of ones I really appreciate.

>>85007843
Wait, what?! Is it because of the men vs women thing? Because of the "they can't keep their dicks in their pants" thing?

Dammit, anon. Now i'm getting confused. Did i read it wrong? Probably because at the time the SJW wasn't at the point it is today, so maybe i didn't really care.

Hickman almost saved it but he got yanked and put on 616. Cataclysm was when Marvel just gave up and put their shittiest writers and artists on it.

>>85008603

Funny how it was the most domineering women that were the cause of the most carnage then. I think it more speaks to the fact that people running on emotion in a crisis jump to the most extreme ends of their psyche. Both sexes had some pretty good moments of badassery, but things go to shit when someone tries to assert their authority.

>>85008932

I swear, new characters used to be good, the fuck happened in the last 5 years?

>>85008603
And they do that and everything goes to shit, right? I understood it as being a criticism towards women, they tried to blame the men for everthing, even though they fucked up too.

But as >>85008771 said, it was pretty split.

I just feel like the "Women keep everything in control, men are useless and fuck everything up." thing wasn't really SJW, it was more showing what the women in the comic thought was true, and then they saw they had to cooperate for it to work out.

But what do i know, i read that in 2007, i'm probably getting some shit wrong.

Worst was probably a Dead Space tie in one shot from when the game was first released, all I really remember was that it was boring as shit. It was a real shame too, because the art style was really cool.

>>85007537

Tie-ins/One-Shots/Specials for events. Almost all of 'em.

Ultimate end was pretty bad
I bought trouble for $5, that's probably my worst purchase

Probably Marville.

Supergod had a fucking stupid ending that retroactively made me hate the entire thing

Worst overall I guess some flavor of Crossed. I can't even distinguish any of the ones I've read.

Was it? I kept seeing the covers but never picked it up, but the story concept in my head that I imagined it MIGHT be about based on what I saw was interesting.
Can you give me a rundown of the plot?

There was this 90s comic where the villain was a guy who wanted to kill Superman because he didn't admit he was a superhero in high school. That was pretty awful.

What was the name of that one comic that had a not-superman that went nuts and started killing the shit out of everything

I think there was another related comic about some villain who becomes good because not-superman is raping everything to death

how is this bad again?

>>85007537

I read OMD and I hated that bone ass ending up until this day but I never bought that though.

However if you're going to ask me what worst comic did I wasted money on and sadly completed it then Batman R.I.P. comes to mind.

I hated it probably because I was expecting the character to bite the dust instead he "died" in a different miniseries even more worse than I got, I mean I'm not gonna waste my money on a another series that isn't good so fuck it.

At least Batman R.I.P. had Alex Ross covers. That's good right?

Girls hatch from eggs, try to sleep with all the men, it turns into a huge man vs. woman thing for a while. I haven't read it since 2011, I honestly don't remember how it ends. Something with an egg?

Marville (courtesy of SOP)

>>85015271

Yes, this. When you read descriptions about it you get tricked into thinking it'll be good because it deals with the idea of music as a form of magic. But the execution is cringey as fuck.

I hated each and every one of these fuckers as they claimed to fight for the people, while using them most of the time as human meat shields. Not once did they ever comment about putting civilians in danger on purpose. Then they would talk about police brutality while beating 2 police officers and locking them up with no lawyer, contact to family or witnesses to defend themselves while they live streamed their trial like an ISIS execution video.

The only decent character in this thing was a Black detective and they did everything the could to ruin him. All because he shot the black chicks dad when the dad pointed a gun at him while robbing a bank.

Shit was so bad that DC canned her and now she works at Dynamite.

While people hate this with a burning passion, I find myself fascinated by the fact that editorial had the balls to do a change so drastic and colossal to their most popular character. This and Sins Past were nothing short of a display of power from those involved and I think it's these two comics which taught me that pretty much anything is possible, especially with Marvel.

We need some storytimes of these. Ultimate shit storytime.

I've been away from /co/ and comics in general for several years. I decided to read this the other day as I heard a lot about it. I have a strange interest in where the story is going, but my word is the dialogue, completely undiverse alien races, obsession with incredibly forced "we talk openly and bluntly about sex, you got a problem with it?" mentality everything has and the way all the universe's issues revolve around "fucking".

I'm interested to know what the general /co/ views on it are.

Even if you don't like the writing, Multiversity still has great artwork. Convergence looked like third world Jim Lee art with horrible coloring.

The Castlevania comics by Devil's Due. They *literally* went with the most boring, unknown Belmont from the gameboy games instead of Simon or Trevor, meandered around with a bullshit plot about some stupid Transylvanian nobles who wouldn't shut up about how awesome living under Drac's rule was, and for some goddamn bizarre and illogical reason, ripped off the family from Dusk til Dawn and used copies of them as a vampire hunting family.

There was nothing charming or interesting going on, the art was stiffer than Castlevania 64 and one cool scene with Christopher Belmont trying to choke Dracula with the Vampire Killer does not excuse the non-action this comic suffered from page after page after fucking page.

>>85021476

Something like a cross between an alien Invasion and a zombie apocalypse, with cute zombies that only attack the female humans. A little more:
Earth got infected by some kind of alien organism, trapping a town and it's inhabiants within a forcefield. The organism sucks the life out of it's surroundings, and produces drones (the Girls of the title) to feed it and to seed discord amongst the population. Also fucking the drones produces more of them (and obviously ends with more discord, well played, alien :-) ). In the end, the inhabiants have to get their shit together and kill the main organism before it reaches it's next stage or replicates via fission, taking over more of earth.

IMHO it's not really that bad, but surely a bit more fleshing out, a better pacing and a more likeable cast, wouldn't have hurt.

I keep seeing this brought up in threads like these and I don't get it.

Sure, it's awful, and not even in that "so bad it's good" way. But there's so much worse shit out there that I can't really understand why someone would call it the worst ever.

I mean there's Marville, pretty much all of the Marvel Mangaverse, War Machine MAX, pretty much anything written by Kevin Smith, Chuck Austen, or any of the other "hacks even worse than the usual hacks"

I fully understand why most people dislike it, but it's not really bottom-tier awful and neither does it shit on any established characters or settings, unlike Sins Past, One More Day, The Evil Men Do, Ultimatum, etc. So where does the hate come from?

It's an "action" comic in the sense that you have skimpy girls striking ridiculous poses and kicking in ways that show off how nearly naked they are. And it's an X-Men comic because it takes place in a parallel dimension created by the Phoenix Force and beyond that has no ties to the X-Men whatsoever, the characters aren't even some variety of mutants, they all use magic and the story is about getting a magic sword back from a dude called the Shadow King.
