I think people here are confusing Identity Crisis with Final Crisis. I love Morrison, but FC is a piece of shit.

It ain't me that's saying the current LoSH is a failure. It's the sales numbers.

That was a Thunderbolts tie-in to Fear Itself, so, yeah, that can go.

Wouldn't mind getting rid of the Draco too, if I could.

That wasn't Fear Itself, it was Siege against Nuke aka Scourge. And Walker STILL kicked his ass even with the loss of his hand and leg.

Cry for Justice, which led to the worst character assassination I've ever seen in comics. If you go from where Roy Harper was as of Justice League of America #22 to at the end of the DC Universe...I can honestly say I've never seen the systematic destruction of a character like I saw happen to Roy Harper, with writers actually creating more ways to ensure that the character's path was set so he was destroyed. Worst I've ever seen, and it started there.

A close second is Infinite Crisis, which has somehow gotten a pass over the years for the totality of heinous shit that went down in it because of how much Ted Kord is talked about.

You would erase one of the best X-Men runs of all-time?

Might as well erase Claremont's iconic Uncanny run as well while you're at it.

Keep Brubaker at Marvel!

His talents would be (as previously shown!) wasted under Didio.

Avengers Disassembled is a tempting choice, but I'm going to go with Hank Pym slapping Jan. The character has a hard enough time being taken seriously without that ugly bit of backstory.
