Worst of 2006: Moments
So you’re reading along in a comic, just minding you own business. You turn the page, and your brow furrows. You’re overwhelmed for a moment and at a loss for words. Maybe you even get a pissed off. Every year there are only a handful that stick with us. Those are the moments we all dread comics for.
Detective Comics #825
‘Well, Detective Comics #825 with a guest writer was tepid and one of the most dull issues of any series I’ve read this year. It’s a sour break from a great Paul Dini run. Royal McGraw, you disappoint me.”
-Doominator
Dick (Grayson) Sucking
“So Jason Todd gets eaten by some spider-ish guy, and then gets pooped out inside a shell of green slime. So naturally, when Jason eventually gets out, he has the ability to eat people and poop them out inside of shells green slime. Oh wait, I’m sorry, that’s stupid. Sometimes I confuse stupid with not stupid. This one was definitely stupid.”
-Fin Fang Doom
“Worst moment was when Dick Grayson read Jason Todd’s farewell telegram in Nightwing. Ugh. Just stop already. That whole series had such potential, but man, that was one hundred percent without worth.”
-Doom DeLuise
The “I’m Leaving You” Sex
“No one particular thing stood out in my mind that really filled me with spite. Civil War #4, however, had a bunch of those moments. The worst for me was Sue leaving Reed. Just an emblem of the many wrongs contained in that book.”
-Jean Claude Van Doom
I agree with Detective Comics for sure! I was one of the people who picked up the issue taking for granted that Dini was writing the book… man I wished I’d of checked the writing credits before hand.
That’s the reason I don’t have Detective on my pull list. It’s either great or terrible.
