What Were They Thinking? Worst Comic Ideas.

[LightPhoenix]

Anyway, I liked the fact that they were like the B team of the Avengers. Of course, West Coast Avengers was my favorite Avengers title.

The west coast team was great! It sucked that they put an end to them, but they really didn't keep continuity with the main title. The grey-alien guy from Force Works was pretty cool too, but I can't remember his name.

I was talking to a buddy of mine who's far more into comics(Chris V), and he just said to say:

Scarlet Spider

And you'd all know what it was. Anybody care to elaborate, he shuddered when he said it.

Go back and read my first post, the one that started this thread. The Scarlet Spider was the Amazing Spider-Clone. Now you can understand the horror of it.

Anybody care to elaborate, he shuddered when he said it.

But, still to this day, in comic shops around the country, you can say "Spider-Clone Saga" and send everyone within earshot into convulsions.

See, your friend was actually going into convulsions just remembering it. I'll bet people out there thought I was joking when I said that! No, it's true, see!

I had a friend of mine who manages a comic shop take a look at this thread. He had the following to say:

Best tread lightly on the Clone Saga as well as Avengers 291-300, as
each has rather vocal fans online. Yes, as scary as the thought of people out there who loved Ben Reilly (*gag*), the Gilamesh fans are not to be toyed with either. Luckily, everybody, and I do mean EVERYBODY, hates Teen Tony

So based on that, I'll stand behind my original nomination of the IronBoy saga.

BTW, I loved the West Coast Avengers book. Even the John Byrne run on that book was excellent.

Hm, here's one that pisses me off to this day.

I quit reading comics when I was still a young teen because of this. Malibu created a new universe, the writers worked together to establish a continuity and try to make everything work. Now it had it's problems, but it was a nice new addition.

Marvel buys Malibu, and totally destroys their universe.

"But Randomninja" you say, "You can't tell how good someone is by looking at their powers on paper. It's who they fought that counts"

Not to worry all, I've got the goods. You see, early in the Ferrets run, he had a friendly sparring match with a certain big name character from the brutal Street Fighter Universe.....................Yeah, you know where I'm going with this, give it up for E. HONDA, Yo! Thats right, when you think of Street Fighter and winners in the same sentance, it doesn't get any better than the Fat guy named after a car company.

I don't want to spoil it for those pitiful fools who haven't read this amazing book, but.......................Well ok, Honda kicked his ass. Bad. But he took it like a man and thats all that counts right? Right?

I kinda like Malibu during this period. Really, Honda showed up to help promote the Street Fighter II comic that in only two issues got it's license pulled. Heh.

He brought up Teen Tony as well. Also:

Rob Liefield; I think that's the guy; he's the one who can't draw feet worth crap, right?

Big big big thighs, little tiny feet, and guns the size of industrial refrigerators. And he was considered the creme de la creme of artists for a year or two.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Marvel's New Universe! Kickers Inc.? StarBrand? Pittsburgh blown off the map? The big MU crossover with everyone's favorite hero, Quasar?

Heyheyhey; what's wrong with Quasar???

I'd have to say the worst I have heard about is the origin story they gave Wolverine. Talk about lame. The editors for the X-books recently have gotten so bad someone should put them in a mental hospital.

And the whole New X-Men series is a joke.

In Spider-Man a few issues back a dimensional portal opens up in Times Square and thousands of mindless ones start pouring out, and within 5 minutes Thor, Iron Man, Cyclops, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man are there fighting them.
And Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange is RAD.

In New X-Men, Magneto walks into New York and takes it over OFF CAMERA! Apparently the Avengers and FF moved or something.

LAME.

The stuff that was done to the Punisher. Killing him and making him undead? Making him an angel?



I liked the Spider-Man Transformers crossover! I still remember Starscream yelling "What kind of human can do this?!"
