There are so many bad comics out there, I'm not sure. I've probably repressed my memories of the worst one, so I might come back later if I think of something else.
The early issues of WildC.A.T.S. are pure shit. Seriously.
So what was so bad about Millenium? Don't think I ever read it but that was the one with the Manhunters, Guardians, and a bunch of laughably crap new characters right?
As far as the worst goes, I read some early Image sort of stuff once - Bloodstryke/Blooddeath/Bloodkill or whatever that was absolutely appalling stuff. Some of it was Liefield I think.
Gender: Male Location: The Fortress of Solitude in Venus
The whole point of Millenium as with bloodlines was to introduce new characters. both were awful ideas. I think only ONE decent character came out of bloodlines, the characters in millenium were really crappy.
I hate that they used a whole series just to come out with some shitty characters. and the whole story just to introduce them was also horrible. IMO
That story about the Superman from the future vs the hittler clones was really bad too.
Final Night was shitty too, but milleniun is by far the worst I have read. Of course I am not thinking about the filler stories on a regular book, those are usually bad, but too short to even remember.
Wow, most of you lot have been generally lucky with your comics
Hey, anyone remember the one about Aunt May as a teenager where it implied May was really Peter's mother? And it was supposed to be a romance comic aimed to pick up female readers but it was by Mark Millar?
Superman at World's End? Where he resorts to some comically big gun?
Gender: Male Location: The Fortress of Solitude in Venus
Yes that one.
But i rather read worlds end than millenium
The issue where hulk gets his powers stolen by this blonde dude, i think his name is dominus? I dont remember, but that one was pretty bad, especially, because bruce banner finally got rid of the hulk, just to get it back by his own choice. When the power of the hulk was already diverted into 100 beings, that seemed more rational than the hulk.
Avengers assemble was a piece of crap. Stepped on continuity to appeal to movie fans and foreshadow future movies. Horrific dialogue, sub par action, kod thor every issue basically, jobbed Thanos, bleh bleh bleh.
Ultimatum was the worst mini series I've ever read though. Sweet Jesus it's hard to believe something could be that bad.
Something about this story made me literally want to punch somebody after reading it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- (Secret Wars II#6) - The Beyonder bought land in Sparta, Illinois and erected a huge building for himself there. He then set out to help Power Pack against a gang called the Squids who had gotten ahold of a Snark laser gun. He then returned to his new headquarters, but a local reporter named Dave was outside waiting for him. The Beyonder brought him inside and explained his origins. He told Dave how his encounter with Dr. Strange showed him he needed to be a champion of life. He took Dave on as his PR rep, and the two started a massive publicity campaign as the Beyonder saved the world time and again, including stopping a tsunami from wiping out Perth, Australia. Elsewhere, Uatu the Watcher appeared before the Molecule Man and told him that the Watchers had voted to break their vow of non-interference in order to stop the oncoming threat the Beyonder posed the multiverse. Owen declined to help, wishing to be left alone. In the next few hours/days, the Beyonder brought food to the starving in East Africa, diagnosed an ill child's malady and built solar wind converters for an alien race. Even through all of this, the Beyonder still was unsure of his true role in the universe. When Captain America and Mr. Fantastic came to warn the Beyonder that he needed to be careful to avoid taking over the world again, Dave tried to show them that they were just afraid the Beyonder was stealing their thunder. Dave and the Beyonder then held a press conference during which they announced their intention to wipe out Death itself. The Beyonder then called for Death and offered her a drink that held enough power to "kill" her. Mephisto, fearing that this would mean no more new souls for his realm, appeared and ordered his demon hordes to attack the Beyonder. Uatu then appeared with a number of the most powerful beings in the universe (Chronos, Eternity, Gardener, In-Betweener, Living Tribunal, Lord Chaos, Master Order, One Above All, others) and tried to talk him out of destroying Death. Dave made Death drink from the cup, and "she" disintegrated. When the Molecule Man realized what was happening when a dead flower in his apartment was suddenly alive again, he teleported to the cosmic meeting and explained to the Beyonder the consequences of this. Dave realized their mistake and begged the Beyonder to bring Death back. The only way to do so was for Dave to sacrifice himself and be the first "death" of a new cycle. He agreed and the Beyonder used his powers to kill Dave and transform him into Death. The Beyonder then destroyed his headquarters and decided that even though he still wished to be a champion, he had to scale it back a little.

"Unfortunately it seemed like writer Brian Michael Bendis was phoning in all of his scripts for this book, likely due to the fact that he was also tackling numerous other projects at Marvel all year. The plots, while easy to follow, were overly simplistic, and we think that this book would actually serve to turn new readers off from comics, rather than get them addicted. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" arc, in particular, just seemed like a sad attempt to advertise another upcoming movie from the company. Most appalling, though, was that Thanos’ return was treated with kid gloves, instead of making him a real threat like he was in Annihilation."
They forgot to mention the mistreating of Thor though. (please log in to view the image)
He was living vicariously through Superman, as he had a crush on Barda. Like you wouldn't do the same with Lois.

Honestly, I wonder if I can make the distinction between just bad, and bad in the way that it insults the characters. Fractions X-Men, for example, was horrible.
Cry for Justice was bad. That Red Arrow one was bad too.
