I vaguely remember Secret Wars 2 (1986) being an absolute chore to get through.
Avengers: The Crossing
1990s story-telling at its worst.
Let's make Janet vanDyne an actual wasp!
Let's change Tony Stark into a teen-ager through time travel.
So many good characters, such a bad story with over the top '90s art.
Superpro. That is all.
Spider-man One More Day
Avengers V3 issues 77-84 by Chuck Austen
Bruce Jones’ Hulk run 2001-2005
Hickman’s X-Men still ongoing
Liefeld's run on [I]The New Mutants[/I] springs to mind. Cable has his fans, but IMO he debuted as all that was worst about the 1990s in one pouches-and-bulky-armaments festooned character.
Then there's [I]Force Works[/I] or "how kewl and X-treme can we make The Avengers?!?"
Just so I'm not solely picking on the '90s, if cringe-worthy faux-19th-Century-western dialogue is your jam, flog yourself with a bunch of[I] Rawhide Kid[/I]. Even the great King Kirby couldn't elevate that.
Finally, I offer you Marvel's attempt to cash in on the early 1980s CB radio craze, [I]US 1[/I], about a heroic truck driver with a cyborg CB radio in his skull.
Spider-Men: Sins Past
Avengers Disassemble
Force Works
Bendis
[center]If you're that serious, then check out pre-Ennis [B][I]Marvel Knights: Punisher[/I][/B] (1998)...

Trouble, by Mark Millar and Terry Dodson. I was in my early teens when I read this story and it was the first time I experienced repulsion at a comicbook for how bad it was. I couldn't believe that a big editorial as Marvel published such a piece of garbage. I'm exagerating a little and, looking back, since Trouble wasn't hurtful to the franchise or anything, it's kinda funny to think that some people thought that it was a good idea and actually went ahead and did it

I read that at the comic book store in-between chatting with the store manager.
It was horrible.
I'm glad I didn't buy it.
A lot of 90s Spider-Man and Wolverine solo comics.
Those 2 are the king of bad stories.....holy moly some of that stuff is just....mindboggling.
Venom by Daniel Way
I'd argue that Way is probably one of my least favourite writers of all time, the stuff he does is just so damn boring.
But Venom is the only one I've read all the way through, and it could have been saved if it had good art, but it's way too cartoony. That first arc would have been saved if it actually had a good artist on it. There's a 3 issue arc in the middle of the series which I think works, but outside of that, it's just a boring as Hell series.
Spider-man one more day is the obvious choice. It ruins way too much to even be a fun hate read. There's a reason why the current Spider-man stories are addressing it, who knows, maybe once this arc is over, we may actually look at that story a little more fondly.
Anything written by Ron Zimmerman.

The OP didn't ask what the GREATEST comic in Marvel history was.....
