I've said before John Byrne's Doom Patrol, which I thought should be a perfect thing, was far from it, but there's one even worse IMO that completely crushed me that also sounded perfect and ended up being a huge dumpster fire.
Does anyone else remember
I was impressed with Dwayne Turner's artwork, but everything else about this title was just bad. Can't believe it lasted 36 issues, 2 annuals, and Plus issue, story in Showcase and even a collection of the first 5 issues.

Sovereign Seven/Legion of Superheroes # 1 is the worst team-up book in my team-up book collection.

The whole Morrison Batman run. Duh is that a mess and people still celebrate it.

I didn't buy this off the stands, obviously, but here is what I thought would be a fun and unique book that turned out barely readable  |

New title, Steve Englehart's West Coast Avengers was probably the worst that I collected. Terrible juvenile writing and art that was mediocre at best. Yet I bought it for years because I was obsessive-compulsive or something.

That's actually a good point. Yes, that wasn't bad. Everything else, duh. Just go onto Wikipedia, take some obscure element of Batman's mythology, bring it back in some bastardized, "ironic" way and YOU can be Grant Morrison (don't forget to pretend to geeky-love and homaging that stuff). Lord Death Man, The Batmen of Many Nations, whatever, has he left anything alone? |

I feel asleep while reading the Minis series and I just feel asleep looking at this ad. |

X-Factor. When announced, I was enthusiastic, as I always preferred the original X-Men team to the 1975-forward versions. The title started off well enough, with characters reestablishing their own identity and unique history apart from the All Wolverine All the Time parent title, but if memory serves, the title did not retain its independent feel, ending up like any other X-title of the 1980s/90s. So much potential that was to fade by its second year, eventually driving me away from the title, and never caring to revisit the issues in my collection.

New 52 LOBO I bought this series and hoping it would be good ... and this new concept of LOBO is probably my MOST HATED NEW 52 series of all time. I bought 6 issues and return them back to my LCS at one third of what I paid for and they marked that down to by one half after 3 weeks and nobody was buying it. Enough said and pure garbage.

He could be a good writer, but his pretentiousness gets in his ways. But whatever, people suck it up, so it works for him. |

Yet I bought it for years because I was obsessive-compulsive or something. You understand me. And me, apparently. Englehart and Milgrom's WCA was, shall we say, underwhelming.
Cei-U!
But it was still light years better than X-Factor! |
