Going Negative

Back already with another Comic Master clique list. This time the boys threw a little venom at the books that did us wrong.

John’s Top Ten Worst Comics of the Decade (2000-2009)

1) Brian Bendis’Avengers (the Earth’s Mightiest Coach Potatoes take on a stray Skrull or two- when they’re not watching the tube)

2) JMS’ Amazing-Spider-Man (Peter’s a totem, Gwen's a tramp, and Doom sheds tears)

3) Bruce Jones’ Nightwing (Dick Grayson male model)

4) Final Crisis (When bad peyote puts a company crossover into the toilet)

5) All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder (the only late book you pray will never ship)

6) Dark Knight Strikes Again (Frank Miller goes bat-crap crazy)

7) Chuck Austen’s X-Men (that’s X-Men Chuck, not Sex-Men)

8) Marville (how could you go wrong with Ted Turner, racist Iron Man, creationism, and submission guidelines to failed line expansions)

9) The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (Bart Allen grows up, and gets a swift death)

10) The Truth: Red, White, and Black (a cynical slap in the face to Simon & Kirby. Just because they were Jewish, fought in World War Two, and created Captain America- doesn’t mean they knew THE TRUTH behind his origin)
