Like my list of cartoons,this is all about comics I loved when I was a kid.But going back and reading them now I realize how horrible they are.
5.GI Joe
This just barely made the list.The first 8 issues are bad.Then it gets better for about 2 years.Then quickly went downhill and never recovered. And like the cartoon it is one that people swear was great. I don't see it. Out of the entire run there is maybe 10 great issues.And the rest go between passable and total shit.
4.Marvel Team Up
This was one of the comics I would get my mother to drive me to as many stores as it took to find each new issue. Back in 2005 I ordered Essential Marvel Team Up volume 1.Wow what a disappointment.For every good issue there is 20 that suck dead donkey dick.And it was rare that the title had good art.
3.Legion of Super-Heroes
Legion was one of the first DC titles I got every month.In the early 2000s I got a huge run of the series from the late 70s.Which is when I read it as a kid.FUCK! It is so hokey and cheesy.And most of the time the art is bad.
2.Shazam
When this series was coming out in the 70s I was all over it.Then I lost all my issues.So when DC put out the Showcase Presents volume that reprinted most of the run I grabbed it.I was shocked at how bad it was.They totally missed what made the Fawcett Golden Age Shazam stuff so great.
1.Transformers
I clearly remember saving up my allowance to subscribe to this title.So for the first 2 years I read it every month. I have talked about how when I first discovered comic scans I grabbed every issue of Transformers.I sat down and in a week read the entire run. WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL! Bad writing,bad artwork,just all around bad.But I still see comic fans calling this "One of the best comics ever." Please take off those nostalgia glasses.It is badly written and drawn fiction about giant robots punching each other.
