Astonmisg X men
Both All Stars
Detective comics(when written by Dini)
Batman
superman
YA
if those define the worst taste in comics then im a saint compared to all of you.
2. Having All-Star Batman and Robin on your list isn't something to be proud of.
3. Titles that I read
The All-New Atom - A great title by Gail Simone. I enjoy rooting for Ryan every month. Cancellation however, inevitable

The Amazing Spider-Man - It's time for JMS to go. He's done some great things but he's been on it long enough and editorially mandated crap such as Sins Past, Civil War, the Other, etc. has made this book languish. I've been enjoying the "Back in Black" story though.
Astonishing X-Men - I love Whedon's dialogue and characterization. Also the roster is pretty damn cool.
Avengers: The Initiative - Slott has turned a title that has just started with two issues into one of my favorites.
Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis - Aquaman is my favorite superhero and I miss Orin dearly. But I like Busiek's new direction that he took with the book and Williams is delivering some rather humorous twists to it along with picking up elements from the previous direction that I liked such as Lorena and Sub Diego. Shame cancellation is immenent.
Batman - I'm loving Morrison's take on Batman and Bruce Wayne. I do wish that Damien's impact would affect other books though.
Birds of Prey - I like Simone's take on making an all female JLA, though her run on the title appears to have peaked. Can't wait for McKeever to take over.
Brave and the Bold - I'm surprised that this title isn't selling better. Considering that Waid is writing and Perez is doing the art.
Cable & Deadpool - Hillarious. Deadpool is another one of my favorite characters.
Captain America - Brubaker is my favorite writer and his run on Captain America is one of the best runs ever
Daredevil - Again, Brubaker fanboy, but this title is consistently good.
Fantastic Four - McDuffie is doing a great job on this title. Much better than JMS'.
the Flash: The Fastest Man Alive - Marc Guggenheim has saved this book.
Green Arrow - Even though this title is languishing, it's a damn shame that it's getting canceled. I like the Green Arrow character. It's time for Green Arrow to get a new writer when it gets relaunched under Green Arrow/Black Canary.
Green Lantern - Started off a little weak but it has gotten a lot better. And yes, I like Hal Jordan as Green Lantern.
Green Lantern Corps - Best Green Lantern title.
Immortal Iron Fist - The Brubaker fanboy in me made me pick this up but I'm glad I did.
the Incredible Hulk - Pak's "Planet Hulk" storyline was awesome and World War Hulk is going to be great!
Iron Man - It's great to read a book where Iron Man does not come off as a *****e.
Justice League of America - Craptacular roster and snails pace story aside, Meltzer is delivering some solid writing here.
Justice Society of America - This is Johns' best title.
Manhunter - Glad to see that this title is not getting canceled.
the Mighty Avengers - After crap such as Avengers Disassembled and his earlier issues of New Avengers, Bendis finally proves that he can write the Avengers. Great roster and art too.
the New Avengers - Started off with a bad start, but it's gotten much better. I like the new direction that they're an underground team and the only people that consider them Avengers are themselves.
Nova - A great start so far for this title.
Outsiders - Another title of Winick's that has been languishing since OYL. I was first excited for Batman taking over the team, but with August's solicitations, I'm rather fearful of the roster going completely downhill.
Punisher: War Journal - Picked it up for the Civil War tie-in, but reading this made me discover the awesomeness of Matt Fraction.
Superman - A solid book by Busiek. I am loving Pacheco's art and I want to see more of this Khyber character.
Teen Titans - Quality declined under OYL, but when McKeever comes on board, that will all change.
Thunderbolts - Even though Ellis' concept bastardizes the concept of the Thunderbolts, the title has been pretty damn cool since he took over. It's not like the team is going to stay this way anyways.
Uncanny X-Men - Brubaker fanboy and I've been enjoying what he's doing to the title. Even though it dragged on a bit, I liked "Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire."
Wolverine - Loeb's run started off great, but is currently going downhill from the same s**t happening every issue and the plot is just not really advancing fast enough for me.
Wonder Woman - Pointlessly relaunched, but Heinberg's writing was awesome. Delays hurt this book badly and now we have he so-so Jodi Picoult. Can't wait for Simone to take this book over.
No, because we disagree alot on Justice League of America also for completely different reasons. I completely hate this roster for example. I also happen to like Hal Jordan.and yes hippie you liking this book is highly dissapointing too.s Seriously are you and darth sharing the same brain cells?
