I think some Spider-man issues which sucked, that story about Superman turning evil which sucked, and his FF run which was mundane.


Waid's FF run was far from mundane. In fact, it's probably one of the top three runs on the book.

Nice backtrack:

Well, you pretty much always come off as an ass, so no surprises I suppose.


For someone you don't know, "always" is a pretty strong statement.

At least own up to the fact that you came after me first.

For me it's Bendis. I've honestly never read anything of his that I've liked. Mark Millar would come close, but I kind of enjoyed most of his Swamp Thing run.

Twig, you need to personalize your hate far more. I can tell you which issues of somebody's pissed me off from 30 years ago. :smt013 :smt013

Remember when I wrote in another thread that I agree with Twigg when it comes to some things? Well, this wouldn't be one of them.

Geez Twigg. :smt011

Greg Rucka is also up there for me. I can't say I get the love.

He's written some decent stuff, but he's very meh.

EDIT: I don't count 52 in this.

I've never read Planetary. I like Ellis' Hellstorm and Hellblazer runs, but that's about it.

OK. Did you read Crime Bible: Five Books of Blood, with Renee Montoya as The Question? That's a whole lot of awesome there, to start.

See, I think even he wrote one (just one, mind you) Spidey story that I at least thought was readable.

I am hard-pressed to think of anybody who I've never read anything by that I liked... even Devin wrote one good story.

No, wait, I got a few:
Austen
Zimmerman
Lapham
