Overrated comic book runs thread. Greg Paks hulk run is extremely overrated and doesn’t deserve the praise it gets
>>152958112Wrong, is second best after PAD run.
>>152958112If you wanted to post an overrated run, Immortal Hulk is RIGHT THERE.
>>152958112Claremont's X-Men. It does not deserve its current legendary status.
>>152958112Immortal HulkO'Neil's The QuestionTom King's Vision
>>152958112I thought everyone hated world war hulkMy choice is kind of specific, but the middle section of Alan Moore's Swamp-Thing is lacking compared to the beginning the and the end>>152958354>O'Neil's The Question Yeah fuck this run
>>152958242Claremont is soap opera shit for women
>>152958112Matt Fraction's Hawkeye. I thought I got trolled after finishing it. But no, people actually like that shit.
>>152958419>WomenNow I know why modern day X-Men are so trooncoded.
>>152958196Immortal hulk is kino
>>152958354>Immortal Hulk>Tom King's VisionYeah fuck these turds.
bitchboy OP got his feelings hurt getting called out for being a contrarian faggot in the recs thread >>152925441
>>152958852That’s not me, I haven’t been on this board in days
>>152958354>O'Neil's The QuestionThe other two are obviously bad, but this one was a disappointment. O'Neil was a very important figure in comics, and I respect what he did for the Batman franchise, but he wasn't that great of a writer.
>>152958112Most runs are overrated. Even the good ones.
>>152958196>>152958354>>152958803>Immortal Hulk Does /co/ like anything or is it just an anti fandom/hatedoom circle jerk
>>152959673I like Moore's Swamp Thing, which is kinda like Immortal Hulk.
>>152959673Immortal Hulk is more disliked than liked by everyone expect critics so I don't know what you're confused about
>>152959745>Immortal Hulk is more disliked than liked by everyone expect criticsIt has high ratings on every website and it's considered to be one of the best runs by the Hulk subreddit but sure
>>152959745>Immortal Hulk is more disliked than liked by everyone>t. mr I get all my opinions straight from the 4chan echo chamber
>>152960063Reddit is casual center so that doesn't prove anything >>152960182Naw I have real comic friends who didn't care for it and have seen it shit talked elsewhere besides here
>>152960208Immortal Hulk was a top selling book you are just coping
>>152960403So is absolute Batman and that's putrid shit. Only casuals think Immortal is good
>>152960523So we went from "everyone hates Immortal" to "only casuals like it"...
>>152960403>Top-sellingThat's what makes it overrated. Because it was popular and not as good as people were saying.
>>152960660Again you hipsters are coping
>>152958354>Immortal HulkTom King is obviously bad but this one was shockingly bad considering the hype at the time.
>>152958395>I thought everyone hated world war hulkI never noticed general hatred for it here. Most people seem to like Planet Hulk, sure. Most people probably hate the retarded Illuminati status quo that led to it, sure. But hating World War Hulk? Haven't seen it.Also OP is talking about Pak's run in general, which includes more stuff. Personally I like the later part of it.
>>152958880you are lying
>>152959745>Immortal Hulk is more disliked than liked by everyoneyou are so full of shit and defensive because the few sane normal people on this board can see through your mindbroken need to be as contrarian as possible
>>152960523>casualsat least they read comicsyou don't even read comics you just spend all your time on 4chan looking to rail on whatever is liked
>>152959745It sold really well and the comics returned to that tone right after Cates fucked it up
>>152960523
>>152959745Only on /co/, and even then it's split.
>>152958112Moore's Swamp Thing, especially that retarted werewolf issue.
I think the following comic book runs are overrated:>Morrison Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Bat Epic (I enjoy parts of these)>Claremont X-Men and New Mutants (I still like the dynamic art from the Paul Smith era and the crazy art from BWS and Sienkiewicz(NM))>Simonson's Thor (still one of the greatest intros to a comic ever)>52>Robinson Starman>Gaiman Sandman (some single-issues stories are great)>Waid Flash, World's Finest>O'Neil The Question, Green Lantern/Green Arrow (waste of Neal Adams)>Wolfman Teen Titans>Brubaker Captain America>Millar Ultimates>Fraction Hawkeye (shame, I like the Mazzucchelli-inspired art)>Ewing Ultimates, Immortal Hulk, Defenders>Humphries Dial H>Adams Flash>MacKay Moon Knight>Lee/Ditko Spider-Man (Ditko is great)>Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four (Kirby is great)>Ellis The Authority, Transmetropolitan>Annihilation>Y: The Last Man>The Maxx>The Boys>The Superior Foes of Spider-Man>Sideways>Yang New Super-Man, Batman/Superman>The Wrong Earth>New Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men, The Ultimates>The Unbelievable Gwenpool>Saga>anything by Brian Michael Bendis>anything by Tom KingI've never read anything by some of the most maligned writers, such as Dan Slott and Tom Taylor, so that's why you don't see them on the list.
>>152963928half of these are universally maligned
>>152963928Well remembered, Brubaker Captain America sucked.
>>152963928Smart, Reading anything by Dan Slott is black pilling makes you embarrassed to your core that you've ever got into comics.
>>152964649Such as?
>>152958112kingdom comeall star supermanplanetarythese are all good comics but overrated in my opinion
>>152967105Sure.
Sign...
>>152959617says you
>>152958112This shit. Literally only saved by the art. Can't believe we're at the point where a comic can gain acclaim simply for being a reference to a classic book/film with an even more meandering plot and anticlimactic ending.
>>152963928List 5 good comics from the last 20 years
>>152969570No.
>>152968712It's awful.
>>152958112X-Men Legacy: LegionWaid FlashThe MaxxSpawn at least on /co/ these daysPunisher MaxJohns JSAROMMoench Moon KnightHellboyMiller DaredevilThe VisionAnything by Fraction
>>152971868What's wrong with Miller Daredevil?
>>152972050It's overrated.
>>152972248Could you be more specific?
>>152958112This shit. It's just the ultimate fanboy Hulk wank. I'll add Morrison's shitty drug drugs drugs X-Men run and Quietly's dogshit art that managed to make even Jean & Emma look like Lovecraftian horrors.
I swear, you fags don't like anything, do you? Also, "overrated" is a word used by contrarian bitches who can't properly articulate why they don't like something. You don't like something? Fine. Cool. Not everything has to be for everybody. But you really ought to be able to point out a specific reason beyond "I'm mad because I think other people like it too much."
>>152972330Quitely was great, but his faces were at their worst at that point. Not sure why, since he was much better about it in the 90s and later 2000s.
>>152972448And contrarian is a word used by bitches who can't properly articulate why they like something.
Everything Hickman and Ewing have ever written. Also Cuckoa in general.
>>152972448I like a lot of comics. Also, I'm not angry in disliking these comics. I simply disagree with their acclaim.Here are some of my favorite superhero runs:>Swamp Thing, Miracleman, Captain Britain, Supreme, Tom Strong, and Top Ten by Alan Moore et al.>Daredevil by Frank Miller>Mage: The Hero Discovered by Matt Wagner>Hitman, Preacher, and Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis et al.>Zenith by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell>S.H.I.E.L.D. by Steranko>B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs by John Arcudi and Guy Davis>Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday>Concrete by Paul Chadwick>Plastic Man by Jack Cole>Magnus, Robot Fighter 4000 A.D. by Russ Manning>Astro City by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson (volumes 1 and 2)I like parts of many other runs, but I cannot place them here until I've finished them, and I've omitted limited series altogether.
>>152973294Half of those are overrated.
I just moved to hell's kitchen, so I bought both zdarsky daredevil omnis. Figured it'd be kino to read a story set in my neighborhood. It was so fucking bad. I was blown away anyone liked it. I forced my self to finish it because I bought them, but fuck bros I was actually laughing at how fucking stupid this run was. Checcetto's are was great, I love him, so that was good. But the writing was dogshit. I've never read any Daredevil, don't give a fuck about him, now I actually kinda hate him. Matt seems so overtly melodramatic. I get he's Catholic, I get it I was raised catholic, but the entire time I was just getting annoyed with him. He seems so pathetic, and not in the root for the underdog way like Spidey. The Fist v.s Hand fight was such a boring dumb build up for a somehow even worse fight with little to no payoff. Can't even remember much and I only read it like a year ago. Just remember thinking damn I wasted money on it.
>>152973363Which ones and why?
>>152958354Is immortal hulk the one where that random black woman told hulk he was allowed to be angry because he's not black?
>>152973523Yes.
>>152973523>because he's not black?And there you have it the number 1 reason so many chuds hold a grudge against Ewing
>>152973523Yeah right after blacks tried to burn down America because a fent druggie died of an OD whilst in police custody and whites were nice enough to just let them.
>>152973545It's just done badly. Ewing weirdly shoehorns this progressive appeasement into his comics and ruins them. If he worked it in more naturally, I wouldn't mind.
>>152972448What do you like?
>>152973591>Ewing weirdly shoehorns this progressiveDon't worry, he consulted with a trans person later on to get it right later on in the run.
>>152974476dude prolly doesn't like anything either
>>152974670Oh ok.
To the people who thinks immortal hulk is the best hulk run ever:Read some hulk comicbooks from before 2014.Thanks in advance.
>>152973591Hulk did also replay with "lol, I don't care"
>>152973591The main villain of part 1 was a black man but keep crying I love chud's tears.
>>152975506>To the people who thinks immortal hulk is the best hulk run ever:Ewing's was especially praised by long time Hulk fans but sure
>>152975627And?
>>152958112Everything.
>>152958112Nothing.
>>152961603>But hating World War Hulk? Haven't seen it.WWH had this gigantic buildup with Hulk about to fuck all of the avengers in the ass, and instead it just ends up as a wet fart. I remember back when /co/ storytimed it as it came out, people were listening to Gustav Holst's Mars, Bringer of War while reading the first issues, and then everyone was disappointed when it ended.
