Brightest Day
Incredible Hulks
Nemisis
In truth, Nemisis was the only one I started out reading, the other two…conceptually seem like they would just fit.
Batman: The Return (Best Money-hungry trick from DC [$4.99/29 pages])
Okay, so I don’t have the means to collect all the new comics I want, but Marvel truly screwed me over by making me love Daredevil (through Bendis & Brubaker), and then ripping that love to pieces through the sad downfall of Andy Diggle. This was the only instance where I bought a book for a character instead of the writing/story (I mean, how could I give up my favorite superhero?), but I wised-up before the end fiasco and stopped buying. But honestly, I WANT MY $60 BACK I SPENT ON THAT CRAP!!! To think, I could have been buying new comics that actually wouldn’t anger me….

As much as I hate to do it, I’m still going to have to nominate J. Michael Straczynski for his work on Superman, Wonder Woman last year. I really had high hopes for his run on both books and seeing both titles flop under his watch was by far my biggest disappointment this year. When Bendis, Millar or Loeb puts out something terrible here I am not surprised at all, to see JMS stumble so badly on not one, but two books, was stunning.
Worst Book- Nemesis
Don’t think I have say much about this mini from Millar, over the top and excessive in every way possible.
Worst Event- The Heroic Age
Marvel’s promised palette cleanser after Civil War, Dark Reign and The Siege turned out to be nothing more than a big check that Marvel couldn’t cash. Like the old saying goes, You can’t teach an old dog new tricks..
Worst Comic Company – Marvel
Why? Because right now I am only buying two books(Thunderbolts & SHIELD) from the biggest comic publisher in country right now, there has to be something wrong with that.
I totally feel ya on your reluctant disdain 4 JMS, I.M.. Having picked up the B&B comics after they were so highly (& rightfully so) touted by team ccw, I also had high hopes 4 2/3rds of the trinity! Especially Supes….which I thought started out fine, but then b4 anything could take root……….well u know the rest. A potential renaissance has been once again allowed 2 retreat 2 the status quo.
worst writer: bendis, due to his avengers. love usm, though.
worst book: avengers- really? bendis is still writing avengers?
worst event: shadowland- this was highly dissapointing
worst person: quesada, thanks to broken promises( events!!!!!!!)
worst company: marvel- i only buy thunderbolts and young avengers
worst artist: billy tan
Worst Comic- Nemesis! Mark Millar hates his fans and thinks we’re stupid! And thinks movie fans are stupid too, which is why he came up with this lame pitch! What? You thought he intended this as an actually story? Oh,You poor deluded fool…
For 2010, I am not sure what category you can fit it, but DC definitely needs to get one for apparently forgetting that Captain Marvel’s completed seven decades of existence in 2010. It is just unforgivable that the greatest hero of the golden age (in popularity and sales) didn’t get even a shitty elseworlds book to celebrate. He got nothing, nichts, nada, zero.

Worst One-Shot: Batman: The Return
Worst Story: (V) O.M.I.T.
Well, I don’t buy Marvel anymore, so it wouldn’t be fair to nominate them for anything when I didn’t read the books, would it?
Worst Writer: Tie between Geoff Johns and JMS (way to run the “Lantern God” into the ground after an awesome Blackest Night event, Johns. The most cliched, boring superhero plotting you’re ever likely to see, on the company flagship title, no less. The JMS nod has been explained by others.)
Worst Event: Brightest Day
Worst Artist: Greg Land / Tony Daneil
Worst Single Issue: Titans: Villians for Hire
Worst Mini: Rise of Arsenal
Worst Mini Series: Shadowland
Worst ongoing: Titans
Worst Wrtier: Andy Diggle (sorry Thunderbolts and Daredevil were awesome, but how could you write Shadowland)
worst series: Superior spider man (3 issues in and Dan already ruined it beyond repair)
worst writer: Dan Slot (seriously an overrated hack)
worst company: marvel (utterly and hopelessly greedy and stupid company)
