These two were pretty woeful, and I had real trouble finishing Annihilation. I really don't see what's so special about that one.

I liked both ultimatum and anhilation for what they are. Big exciting fun comics. They're not written amazingly fair enough, but I'd rather them than most recent comic arcs.

hmm probably something i've gotten from the library and wouldn't have read if it weren't free

mighty avengers vol 1 by bendis
wolverine: evolution by loeb
the 4th astonishing trade by whedon (all of the arcs were just execrable but this one was the only one i read in trade)

My friend gave me a copy of X-treme X-men in the Savage Land. I don't think it was even part of the regular run. It was pretty damn awful.

If we're talking a collected Graphic Novel - I'd say House of M (so bad I've never even seen a copy)

Original Graphic Novel - probably Batman: Digital Justice (look kids - it's 100% computer generated!) It's hard to recall another GN where after the first 5 pages I said to myself "why did I buy this?"

A close second would Dazzler: The Movie.

Most of the worst stories I own/have owned are floppies.

Seaguy. I bought it after they announced the second volume was coming and thought I'd give it a try. I don't even remember what happened in it, but the whole time reading it I was like WTF?

Black Dossier.

Loved vol 1 and 2 of LXG but Black Dossier made no fucking sense to me.

Arkham Asylum is a close second

I loved the first two volumes as well, but I've heard a lot of people say it goes off the rails after that.
