Just for fun...And be nice to each other!
Name some Marvel tiltes you think suck/sucked badly.
One rule though-you can't include Ravage, ROM, or SuperPro.

Let 'em rip! :thumb:

The only thing I liked about Sleepwalker was the cover of the first issue.
It just has that classic 60's cover look that I am a total sucker for.

Don't get me wrong though, I started collecting in the early 90's(unfortunately).

I can't remember the titles but Marvel printed some UK titles in the states in the early nineties, how about Deathhead or something like that, anyone remember?
I am selling "nothing" on ebay-yet.

I seem to remember the first few issues of Deathshead causing a little bit of a stir back in the mid nineties. Don't know about these days though.

Oh, and don't forget, "Warlock and the Infinity Watch", that was after Starlin left these characters, these stories were just bad, the art was worse. Warlock was a pretty good character till this.

Man-Thing (Swamp Thing rip-off)
Silver Sable and the Wildpack (seconded!)
Rom: Spaceknight (yes, I know there are fans on the board, but...)
Dazzler (other than the fact that Mystique and Rogue make appearances, this title just plain sucks)
Power Pack (oh God no!)
Team America (what were they thinking?)

Damn how the hell did I forget Power Pack, what a pile of crap that was.

Actually they both debuted at around the same time.

I like the final issue's cover blurb at the bottom:

Death's Head was interesting when he was in the Transformers UK comics as a bounty hunter chasing after Galvatron and Rodimus Prime. The first series was all right, but it's when it got to DEATH'S HEAD II with the design overhaul that it slid downhill.

And I think it was the DEATH'S HEAD II series that was popular back in the early 90's. (Hence why they put him in almost every Marvel UK series like as if he was Wolverine or something)

Are we counting merchandise tie-ins?


For that matter, are we counting the properly forgotten Star Comics?
