What's Your "blacksheep" Book?

[K.B.]

I have a theroy that all comic readers have at least one bad book in they're file....so whats yours?


For the longest time mine was Uncanny X-Men. I started reading when Casey and Churchill started so I suffered through Austin and Clearmont.

For a while it was JLA...the last couple of years before the relaunch.

...I have a "New Kids On The Block" comic book--I didn't buy it or anything. It came with my grab bag. And I haven't read it, don't think I ever will. Maybe I should just get it over with.

the last Venom series...it was awful, but I knew it would be cancled, so I just got it all...same with Nick Fury's Howling Commandos, and the current Blade series

Flash, and to a lesser extent, Green Lantern would probably be my two.

I also get Robin which gets pretty trashed by people, but I like the book, myself.

 

[Kevin]

Robin is the book! people don't know what they be talking about.

 

[K.B.]

Really? Not into Green Lantern?...(I'm a little behind so please no spoilers)

I used to have a lot of crap in my file, but recent budgetary constraints have forced me to ditch everything except the stuff I really, truly enjoy.

 

[The Mad Bomber]

I read a lot of Malibu comics in the 90s. Comics like 'Sludge' and 'Solitaire' now languish in my comic boxes with no value, no re-readability, and I don't have the heart to get rid of them. They remain as a warning...

Unfortunatley I fail to heed the warning and I now own a very large run of Uncanny, including 'The Draco' aguably the worst X Men arc/story ever.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Looks nice on Austen's résumé, though, right next to "Ice," arguably the worst Captain America arc ever.

Speaking of Cap, here's a black sheep situation for you: I actually enjoyed the Cap Wolf arc quite a lot.

 

[Darthphere]

Flash and GL, even though I like the GL title, but hate Hal.

 

[K.B.]

I originally meant that fans buy at least one book (a monthly) they know sucks and what was yours....but I guess after a while it adds up so hearing what stuff people have bought over the years is interesting too....

 

[Kevin]

OHHH, now I get it, sorry. I didn't find Teen Titans issues 27 and 28 to be bad. Also, I collected most of Peter Milligan's X-men run, and I loved it.

 

[K.B.]

No man it's cool. Like I said..its fun knowing what crap people have in they're longboxes as well.

I was buying Milligans X-men too. It was crap.

 

[Kevin]

lol. to each his own.

 

[FOG3]

I have this rock n' roll origins comic that covers Bon Jovi. I found it for 50 cents in some clearance box.. Worth every penny.

 

[K.B.]

Milligan tricked me lol....I read some of his stuff and liked it (flowers for rino is one of the best stories out there.) and when I heard he was going to be doing X-Men I was interested...it was bad. And I knew it was bad and there wasn't going to be any good in sight lol. Thankfully Mike Carey's taken over and seems to be a writer who can delivere consistantly.

 

[Sandman138]

I remember whe Ultimate Marvel first hit the shelves, I was totally into it. I reread a bunch of the ones that I got recently, and their pretty bad... and Ultimate Marvel Team-Up is pretty much unreadible.

Supergirl


But seriously..if I didn't have her..who would I complain about?

me?

 

[RockSP]

Nextwave.

I'll get the rest of the issues just for the sake of being an anal completist. Won't be f***in' with the future mini-series.

 

[Andy C.]

Virtually all of Dark Horse's Godzilla comics. I was also a big reader of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comics when I was in junior high (though some of those weren't half bad, but c'mon)

 

[K.B.]

But Godzilla vs Charles Barkley is a classic.

 

[twylight]

me?

But....you're perfect....

 

[Max J Power]

X-Men during part of Peter Milligan's run, until I dropped it for Ultimate X-Men.
