The Clone Saga. I don't know what was worse about it — Peter's treatment during that whole fiasco or Ben Reilly's fate at the end. What a waste of emotional investment it all was. That plus Byrne's retconning of Aunt May's death all but permanently drove me away from the Spidey books.

I was kind of let down by Grand Guignol, in Starman. Robinson had been teasing a reunion of Jack and Nash, for quite a while and it promised to be epic; but, she ended up being a minor component to Culp and her father's schemes. Same with the Ragdoll. He was set up for a return in that first year and you kept waiting and waiting, knowing that it would be brutal, based on the Times Past storyline, with Ted and the JSAers stopping the rampage of the Ragdoll's army of fanatics. It just never came, then he turns up there, again, as a minor element. I don't know if it was the split with Tony Harris or the loss of Archie Goodwin that caused that to go off the rails like it did. There is still an epic quality to the storyline; but, not the one that had been hinted at for the previous 5 years.

The ending of Kirby's OMAC ... obviously cancelled midrun and Kirby squashes smaller and smaller panels into the last page to have SOME sort of ending.
Pretty much anything Grant Morrison writes.

I really liked the end of his JLA! Humanity no longer needs heroes to protect them and rise up to protect the heroes! The ending of WE 3 made me cry. I thought the ending to the Filth was the best part... although maybe that was just because the Filth ended. But I will accept "90 % of anything Grant Morrison writes." Seven Soldiers # 1 was especially a let-down for me.. I think it worked on a plot level if you go back and study it, but there just obviously wasn't enough space to finish the story... The whole thing was barely coherent of first read, let alone emotionally satisfying. |

Every story arc in Brian Bendis' Alias.
Maybe they wouldn't have felt like such a letdown if they hadn't been padded out to several issues each, but I think they still would have been disappointing.

Thank you. DC so totally ought to have colored and published this in the collection.

Honestly, I think most epic storylines have an ending that's a little bit of a letdown. I guess it's tough to come up with a great ending to such an epic storyline.
