Me, I was looking forward to X-Men when I heard Grant Morrison was taking it over. He did good with both Animal Man and JLA, so what was the worry? I purposefully stayed far and away from any any info on the project so it would be surprising. Well, it... was. Sadly. That's one comic that went to the trash and fast. ![[worst. icon. ever.]](graemlins/comicguy-icon00.gif) You?

Midnight Nation, the second to last issue wasn't all that great, but the last issue made it better.
Daredevil by Smith and Lazy Joe Quesada.
Superman: Birthright sounded like it could have been sooooo good but the preview art at Pulse shows how crappy it's gonna be.

JSA. Great book, but turned gradually into crap after James Robinson left. It's currently in it's final stages of decay, since everything but the kitchen sink is being tossed into a final storyline that I doubt will make anymore sense at the end than it does now.
Daredevil since Frank Miller left.
DKSA, of course.
All X-Men comics between the time Dave Cockrum left Uncanny (the first time) and until Grant Morrison started scripting New X-Men.

Every major crossover event for DC since "The Janus Directive".

My list could go on forever. So I won't bore you with it.
I will say, though, that Spawn/Batman and the Dark Knight stories are the top two worst things I've ever read in my entire life. Frank Miller's Batman leaves a lot to be desired. Gimme Englehart and Wein any day.

after knowing about since forever, i read Crisis on Infinite Earths almost two years ago.
it wasnt so much a disapointment because i previously read Wolfman's Superman story, Infestation. so i expected going in not to like CRISIS.
but GOOD LORD... nothing prepared me.
other than that, recent disapointments include: JSA (as a title). OWAW (as a crossover), Bryan Hitch (as an artist), Geoff Johns (as a writer), Zatanna Everyday Magic (as a one-shot and Dini's foray into Vertigo), and Hush thus far (as a storyline).

Mine was Jinx Treasure "something", I think it was edition. I wanted to try a Bendis story after all the fanboy praise and after reading it I was sure that I could have written AND drawn that piece of rubbish, it had the feel of being produced while the creator was incredibly bored.
I wasn't much into Powers either, so Bendis-books are now a definite must-not-buy each month.

The sequal to Kingdom Come.
Kingdom C-R-A-P I think it was called.
It was so bad I blocked most of the story from my memory but I recall that is was a visual disaster for me.

I didn't forget it. Dissapointment for me requires having high expectations beforehand. I expected Namor to be shitty. I had higher hopes for DKSA and Origin.

Jeez...there are a lot of titles that just blew - though, I'm surprised by one or two of the other comments (love Hitch, loved all of Midnight Nation). Ok, what sucked ass:
Origin - that book sucked on so many levels - the story - boring, the art was so-so...all the hype for nada, squat, zero, zip...
Spiderman: Blue was disappointing.
DKSA for the same reasons as Origin - when is Miller going to do another Sin City tale?
The Batgirl title - not to be confused with the excellent Batgirl: Y1 mind you, but the title does nothing for me - but I admit, I'm also biased, as I really don't like the new BG.

I tried reading Bendis' books a couple of times, and both times I came away wondering, "What the heck did this guy do to get all this praise?" His so-called "great dialogue" is just annoying, meaningless blather ("But I have cases! I have cases!") and his stories are boring and uninvolving. You couldn't pay me to read this guy's stuff.
But again, my list of godawful reading experiences would run too long and bore you all to death. So I'll still spare you the boredom and bandwidth.

The Loeb/Sale Challengers of the Unknown mini-series from several years back. I was hoping for something that would revitalize the characters and concept. Didn't happen. A noble failure, though.
Stuff like DKSA and Origin I expected to be terrible, so I can't call those dissapointments.

DKSA was especially bad because it was so expensive.
Recently, a really awful comic I read was the last issue of Titans -- WTF? Talk about rushed, anticlimactic endings. What a sad way to end a series... good thing I wasn't a fan.

I agree. Just not cool. She's fine as a character, but... was she really necessary? She's not all that spectacular. Does the bat clan need another addition? ....I didn't think so...

There was a good Superman story that came out of it: TAOS #508, "The Future Is Now," by Kesel and Kitson. One of the last truly great post-Crisis Superman yarns before the books totally collapsed, and a cool team-up issue to boot.

The three Call of Duty mini-series from last year. I was expecting something like a realistic look at firefighters and cops (similar to DC's Underworld mini-series from the late 80's). I was disappointed that they added a sci-fi element to it.
Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra. I was expecting at least something similar to the movie (since I don't read Daredevil and don't know much about the two characters' history together).

Oh, yeah. The team-up with the original Challengers. That was a great, great issue. Nice little tribute to my favorite Chall, Prof. Haley, as well.

Two best scenes in the issue: the bit between Superman and Cat Grant at her son's funeral (Kitson and McCarthy's wonderful shadowy art stole the show with this moment) and the end, where Superman promises not to tell the Challengers their future...while Prof. Haley's tombstone shows up in the last panel. Classic. ![[biiiig grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

It's a tie between Miller's apalling Dark Knight Strikes Back and the spectacular belly-flop that was DC's Our Worlds At War crossover. However, since I was able to read DKSB by borrowing a friend's copies, I had to BUY every sucktacular issue of OWAW, so with that in mind, the title goes to OWAW. Truly inspired ineptitude.

You had to buy every single OWAW issue? Good lord, man, that thing went on for over a year, why would you subject yourself to that kind of trauma? Did you not realize that it was going to suck after the first few months?
I have my masochistic tendencies, sure, but that's just ridiculous. My sympathies, sir.

Lab Rats (I think issues 4-6). That was the whole "Finding Supes in the future" deal. IMO it stunk, I saw the whole thing coming. Superman comics in general just suck, although I am enjoying "The Harvest", too bad I have to wait another month for the conclusion.

Basically I've changed my opinion since then.I used to be really mad about it but recently things in the comic and my personal life have given me a new perspective on things.
It's been a long road but I got over the past and moved on and I'm just a Green Lantern fan now.
It's funny how much more enjoyable things are if you just leave the past in the past and try and enjoy things for what they are.
