Unpopular Comics That Don't Deserve The Hate

This....but only for its comedic value.


Realized I misread the title.....yes probably does deserve the hate, the writing is well....well....over the top.

I've enjoyed more of the Bloodlines annuals than just the Demon one with Hitman.

I read All-Star Batman and Robin as a parody.

Here's the thing, Dark Knight Strikes Again was clearly meant as satire and was a better comic in every way. But it was initially met with a lot of negative reaction cuz fans were expecting more of the "grim and gritty". However, it was over shadowed by ASBAR because of Frank's sheer incoherent writing, shipping delays, and..."love chunks".

Plus it wasn't helped by Jim Lee drawing it in the same style that he drew "Hush" making fans think this was supposed to be a "serious" Batman story.

Lol I love it!

I thought it was a parody to...but according to Miller, apparently not.

Oops! I meant no offense. Still love the artwork, though

Alot of the early Image comics are guilty pleasures to me.

Put me down as a big fan of the Defalco FF run as well.

I'm of the opinion that DeFalco's FF doesn't get hate, but is thought to because it's rarely mentioned up there with the Lee/Kirby, Byrne, Simonson, Hickman, or even Waid runs. It's far more overshadowed than disliked.

Me too. I'll always love early Youngblood (The Home Team is a personal favorite, though):

That's very fair assessment.

As my first exposure to the FF, it's a favorite almost by default. So in true fandom fashion I feel slighted if it's praises aren't being sang from the rooftops...

Explain the point of Una, please?

Love the Lobdell/Maduriera X-men run and the later Alan Davis run. Onslaught and Apocalypse: The Twelve are non-ironically awesome stories.

-Tom King's Batman
-Superman For Tomorrow
-I would say DKSA, if not for that third book, which is utterly awful. But the first two are a lot of fun, or maybe it's because I read those as a kid, years before reading DKR, that I am more indulgent
-Identity Crisis

And, the one my younger brother will never forgive me for liking, my guilty pleasure: ASM Sins Past; a book with ideas I totally hate or find stupid, but that everytime I read, I find myself having a good time
