Bad ideas
What are the most ill-conceived, stupidest, crappiest, and/or most poorly told comic book story every written? And I mean ever. Yes, I know a lot of crap has come out in the last few years. But those aren't the only examples of bad ideas. There are some to be found in classic comics as well. I'll post my thoughts at a later time.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'd say "Power Pack" was a solid miss. Pre-pubescent twerps with powers granted to them by aliens, with names like "Mass Master" and "Gee".
Pure crap. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Continuity waves - nothing tops this one.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
The Captain Underpants series. There were crappy names in there like the Inedible Hulk.

Lacking anything better to do, I'll post my response now. I've narrowed it down to three ideas/stories: the time Marvel tried their hardest to cover up the "Lockjaw can talk!" story, the time Grant Morrison was writing the X-Men, and the time Geoff Johns was given instructions to write DC's current big event.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Jason Todd.
What is worse is that they used this idea twice. So they bring Mr.Todd around in the 80s. Everyone hates him. He's an annoying little shit that couldn't fill Grayson's lime green hot-pants. So they kill him off. By killing them off they create the second most important driving force behind Batman. Sure lots of heroes had lost people close to them before, but then again Spider-Man doesn't keep Gwen Stacy's clothes in a glass case in his living room. By doing this, they turn a character that no one liked into a necessary character whose death acts as a driving force for a very popular character. So what do they do? They fuck it up. They bring back a character that became acceptable by simple dumb luck. Not only that, but they bring him back using the absolute worst plot device since the clone saga. Robin should have stayed fucking dead. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against COBRA. A ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. 24 can't jump the shark. Jack Bauer ate the shark long ago. Now 24 can only jump the water, and that doesn't mean anything. - Jazzflight <Krizzzopolis> acid you are made of win. <Dissolution> And now my god damn scissors are all milky |
I'm going to go with the cancelation of quality books by both Marvel and DC.
On DC's end of things, they cancelled books like Impulse, Young Justice, Young Heroes In Love, and Guy Gardner long before they had run their course. On Marvel's end, they cancelled Ghost Rider for christ's sake. Now the most bad ass anti-hero they have is delligated to having a mini-series every other year. Other books that got the undeserving axe, Howard the Duck(original written by Steve Gerber), Marvel Comics Presents(they really should have taken the focus off of Wolverine, but I liked having a few different stories per issue), and Excalibur(original line-up). Those books all kicked alot of ass, but were axed. Storyline wise, I'll call upon the ever-faithful clone saga, the ill conceived Underworld arc in DC, the current run of X-men with Apocolypse, the other book that focuses on Rachel Grey has actually been good. The Other, the latest craptastic spider-man event sucked alot. The new costume does as well. Jason Todd should have just been ressurected by a Lazerus pit..no need for some bullshit Superboy Prime throws a hissy-fit and everything rights itself piece of shit plot device. I think I'm done..for now. FELIPE NO

Peter Parker's parents being robot clones had to be the most shitty thing I've ever read. The fact that it led into "the Spider" and the Clone Saga didn't help in the least.
Sins Past has to be near the top, though, if only for Norman Obsorn's O-face.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
My vote goes for Marvel trying to capitalize on villian popularity and giving Venom his own mini-series. That and the whole 2099 thing.

Like the fairly recent Eddie Brock cancer shit. Sure, this is like, what they planned on doing with the symbiote a long time ago -- but it sucks. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
The worst idea ever conceived for a comic book...
Why are we kidding ourselves? Whoever came up with the idea of a fucking dog telling kids to turntail and run from a thundering behemoth of a bully who's about to beat the shit out of them deserves to have the cellblock sisters gangbang him in the shower. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

The Marvel "What If" series. It is so terrible. It sounds really cool at first (such as "What if Spiderman's Uncle Ben lived" or "what if the hulk had bruce banner's brain", but they are so dumb and hokey that they're not even believable. Among the worst I've ever read.

Worst idea was DC versus Marvel; followed by "The Amalgam Age of Comics" where we have Batman and Wolverine combined into one dude to fight crime.
Fail. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

Nah..the Lazerus pit can be used to ressurrect someone. Case in point, Cassandra Cain was dead. Proclaimed by both Lady Shiva and the spirit of Spoiler. She was brought back by being put in the pit, also, Batgirl killed Shiva in the same issue and hung her from a hook above the pit, presumably to eventually fall in and ressurrect herself..

Probably the stupidest thing I ever saw in comics was the way they introduced Professor X's evil twin, Cassandra...

i got to read that =_=. was it before clone saga?
yeah i ment sins past. Now i dont mean sex is slutty (not at all) but the reason she banged him? Because he was sad but had this "strong aura" around him? aw come on. She didnt fuck Peter with all his shit and but Norman is cool? OKAY. no homo |
It was before the Clone Saga and why Peter was a whiny cunt at the beginning.

Hopefully some other writer can fix that crap. Anyone know how long the current writer (cant spell his name) has left on ASM?

Actually, Beast triggered his own secondary mutation, but I will agree on the nonsensical Cat Beast further mutation. And Xavier did have the hots for Jean Grey back in the old X-Men issues, so blame Stan for starting it. I agree on everything about the breakup, though, and Endsong has made it worse. But what about the whole Weapon X meaning Ten? I thought that was just silly. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
