I just can't seem to become interested in the comics version of Daredevil. I love the Daredevil of the Netflix series, but the comics just don't do it for me.

Even Miller's run? Even Born Again?

I admit to not having read either series. The character has never interested me enough to want to spend the time or money.

Oh, dude. You gotta read Born Again.

And he is my favorite Marvel character. So many great runs, the early Gene Colan run, Frank Miller, Nocenti and Romita Jr., Brubaker, Bendis, Waid and Samnee.

What the heck, I'll keep an open mind and give [I]Born Again[/I] a shot.
Nothing to lose.
Alpha Flight is the first that comes to mind. I've tried every iteration of the team, but I've never been able to really enjoy their stories. I can appreciate aspects of them, but that's not a lot to go on.
Lobo is another. Same deal, but with significantly less things appreciated.
More often than not characters, and series come well behind creative teams for me*. If the right people got their hands on them, I'm sure I could enjoy the characters. Granted I have to wonder if there'd be a way to interpret the characters in such a way that would appeal to both myself, and fans who have enjoyed the stories I'm unable to.
*For example, I'm willing to give much of what Brian K. Vaughan does a shot. I'm hesitant to pick up anything with Garth Ennis or Frank Miller attached.

Good lad.
Born Again is probably top five all time stories for me. Fantastic.
[QUOTE=GOLGO 13;4011704][B]FLASH[/B] - Guy that runs fast in red PJ's has the personality of dry toast. Oh, please go on.
[B]Aquaman[/B] - Just...stop.
[B]Atom[/B] - So you get super small, right? Oh really, REALLY small? Sounds fascinating, no really.[/QUOTE]
Bet you wouldn't say that about Quicksilver, Namor, and Anit-Man, right?
Conan The Barbarian. He's just not interesting to me.
Deadpool. I'm sorry, this guy is just freakin' annoying.
Squirrel Girl. Please, stop trying to cram her down our throats.
Legion Of Superheros. I don't really hate them, per se, but just doesn't really grab me though I liked their cartoon.
Grendel
The Spirit
The New Warriors.
The Spirit!?! We are talking about Will Esner's original Spirit? :eek:
honestly? Superman

[B]Quicksilver:[/B] Fast angry man has no personality other than being angry. Angry Flash sucks too.
[B]Ant Man:[/B] Which Ant man? Wife beaty or thief Ant Man both slightly more personality but all three suck.
[B]Namor:[/B] Dude can take on the FF all by himself/ trades punches with the Hulk at the drop of a hat/ talks trash to Dr. Doom all day long/really pissed off the Black Panther. Do your realize how much of a major, successful asshole you have to be to piss of the Black Panther?
Namor at the sight of Sue or Emma Frost turns into a thirsty, horny hound-dog right in front of Reed or Scott's face. Namor is forever out of fucks to give. Therefore, Namor owns!

Mine too. And I totally agree with every run you've mentioned. But don't forget the Kesel run, the Smith/Quesada run and the Bob Gale run.
