Doominator says: Jeffrey Brown! “Clumsy” is absolute garbage, but everything he’s written since then has been good in a way that makes me feel uncomfortably emo. Feeble Attempts may be one of my favorite finds of the year. His interpretation of Jesus almost makes me a prayin’ man again. Fin Fang Doom says: Salvador LaRocca!…
Jim Doom says: I guess I’ll have to say Michael Turner! Somebody thinks he’s good because he litters the front cover of comic books constantly and he really, really sucks. I can’t think of any other examples of such mediocre-to-awful output being so heavily rewarded. Doominator says: Jeph Loeb! Wolverine vs. Sabretooth made me hate…
Doom Deluise says: Amazing Spider-Man #545! Coming in just under the wire, let’s turn to the judges. Does it count? It counts! Amazing Spider-Man #545, you’re not only the single worst issue of a comic book in the year 2007, but you might be the single worst issue of a comic book ever written. Congratulations!…
Fin Fang Doom says: Sensational Spider-Man Annual #1! Back in May, Marvel published a pretty decent annual to their worst Spider-Man series. Written by Matt Fraction with art by Salvador LaRocca, the stand-alone story was a love story to Peter and Mary Jane. Not a love story about Peter and MJ, mind you. It was…
Doominator says: Justice League of America! You know when there’s supposed to be this awesome thing that happened awesomely and it was awesome? Brad Meltzer’s plodding JLA missed the mark by lengths that are staggering. Was it the worst thing to happen to comics this year? Well, probably not. But to determine worst, you have…
Well, it was bound to happen again, so I’m not even going to apologize. The fact that I’ve kept up this much for this series so far speaks volumes, so sue me if I slip behind a few weeks every once in awhile. Just try to see things from my perspective: Not only am I…
Jim Doom says: New Avengers! Going back through my weekly reviews, it is clear that no comic was more exciting for me to read each month than New Avengers. And as I managed to explain nearly every month, the irony of this is that I was really close to dropping it a little more than…
Doom DeLuise says: Mighty Avengers! I think this is new this year. Either way, I hate it. I got tired of the thought bubbles right away, and the way the characters interact bores the hell out of me. I think I lasted all of three issues before I got tired of that hot naked Ultron…
Fin Fang Doom says: Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I’m not even going to pretend I’m being objective here. I love Buffy. This series could be the comic book equivalent of poop on a stick and I’d eat it up with a spoon. Having Joss Whedon write this cast of characters again is a dream come…
Jim Doom says: GAYO! Green Arrow: Year One was a major part in the abuse Green Arrow took in 2007. I started out really liking this, but it ended up being just a stupid retelling-slash-update of Green Arrow’s origin that just made him look like a stupid tool. The type-shout insult of “GAYO!!!” became code…
