    Default Runs that you didn't love by writers that you do.

    I'll start. I love Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman and JLA, but hated his Batman and X-Men. Similarly, I loved Mark Waid's Flash, Impulse, Superman Birthright, Kingdom Come, Captain America, and World's Finest, but disliked his Daredevil (although I did like parts, just not enough to satisfy me).
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    ^^^I remember being SO EXCITED picking up Morrison’s first issue of X-Men.

    And then I read it.

    The Fabian Nicieza run on X-Men would be my choice. I mean, not even Remy could "persuade" me...

    I hated Morrison's X-Men. It was the first I've ever read from the writer, so for some time I was convinced that I wouldn't like anything. But them I've read the Batman run and it's still my favorite.

    Brian Bendis. I loved his early work on Powers, Torso, Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil. I was excited to see him taking over Avengers after Chuck Austen's terrible run.

    What followed led to me quit most Marvel books. His ten-year stranglehold on the Marvel universe was terrible.

    Jason Aaron’s Avengers. Nailed it with Thor, hated the entirety of that series except for WW She-Hulk, and the War of Realms.
    Second choice would be Hickman’s Avengers. Loved his FF, hated the ‘everyone’s an Avenger’ thing. The point of the series was lost on me.

    This was my experience as well. I still live in fear that Bendis is going to show up again, like he is waiting for us to forget his disastrous Superman.
