Glory to Crap: Great Comics That Now Suck....

Name a good comic that was great, excellent or just plain fun that has degenerated into a bad comic.

Example:

Ultimates. Jeph Loeb writes it. 'Nuff said.....

Does it have to be a single run of a comic that degenerated?

The darkness
First series -Awesome
Second- Got worse and worse
Third- Interesting so far

Apparently Authority Prime isn't great.

Teen Titans has taken a slide in quality since Geoff Johns stopped writing it imo.

Oh and Black Panther... I probably don't need to explain do I?

How crap does it need to get to be included though?

He listed Loeb's Ultimates so probably not.

I'll go with the Flash. Probably a top 5 traditional superhero book under Johns has become really mediocre and that's being generous.

Forgot about the flash. Is is me or has it gotten even worse since Bart died.

Meh, Authority Prime is only 4 issues in. I actually don't mind it. But their most recent few story arcs set the bar so high, it's hard to live up to. But they've been up and down more than once in their run. I'm not really ready to call them "glory to crappy" yet.

And the problem with Flash is that I never really feel like any of them are dead anymore. They need some kind of stability, which is non-existent at the moment.

Also, JMS's run on Spider-Man. He did some really fun stuff, then f*cked it up with all sorts of suspect decisions (Norman's kids, unmasking, The Other) culminating in the OMD mess.

I've actually been enjoying Authority Prime. So far it's just been one big glorious fight, and you have crazy-ass SUPER-nineties Stormwatch versus the Authority... what's not to love?

Avengers. Particularly Mighty Avengers. The book is an ongoing disaster. ❌

Teen Titans sucks an almighty now.

Very sad. They keep changing the lineup.

Supergirl was a member for like three issues.....

Agreed. Though at some point Wildstorm decided to make the Authority a bit too edgy. Occasionally they seem like angry and/or arrogant parodies of their traditional selves. But for WS diehards, the Stormwatch stuff is a pleasant turn of events. And it's always fun to see how they manage to PIS The Doctor (and now Jenny) out of fights because they're literally too powerful for nearly any situation.

And I'll co-sign Mighty Avengers. Or New Avengers for that matter. Both have taken a nosedive imo. I was into NA for a while and just stopped after too many suspect issues.

I dont think its a bad series. Its more along the lines of average to me. Nothing completely awful but nothing I would pay 3.99 to read.

i second the mighty avengrs thing....it started well but after a while. the sarcastic remarking under thier breth thing gets super old......ummm JLA anyone? with the reboot and the new numbering this was supposed to be the rebirth.....the reintroduction of an uncanny era of superheroics like we havent seen in ages....yet so far all we've seen all of them complaining about who gets to do monitor duty, and doing detective work F ****ING detective work!!!!!...no JLA of old... no aliens,magical beings, pan demonsional entities, or intergalactic despots trying to lay claim to earth...just street lvl stuff. the biggest thing after a dozen issues is going up against luthor and his society

JLA is a good pick too.

I'm noticing a lot of people picking team books here. ermm

Your welcome to your opinion matie.

Mighty Avengers was never great, or has started to go downhill... it's just a book that's there.
And when Doom takes out Sentry next month (hopefully)... I will be expecting Trick to wear a fat "I'm wrong like always" sig for a week. 🙂

I've been fairly dissapointed with annihilation conquest so far.

I mean,more Starlord,and Moondragon should have died sooner.
