The Sentry.

 

Long lost Stan Lee character from the Silver Age? Nope, just Joe Q lying to you, making up one of the worst ret-cons in Marvel history. What a horrible character.

A dime store Miracleman. :P

You thought based on the hype that a story about Frank Castle being turned into an angelic retribution machine with arcane guns and demons running around was going to be good?

 

Hey - Supernatural got 9 seasons out of it.

Coming off of three canceled series in the mid 90's, I was willing to give a new take on the character a shot. Turns out it was only good for a squat.

So was I. I bought it, too. :) Found it to be worth the same squat.

The release schedule of Pitt and Battle Chasers destroyed my interest right out of the gate. The books weren't bad, but who wants to wait that long between issues. The delays were right away too.

 

The Byrne Spider-Man relaunch. :sick:

For me the Ultimate hype fail was Uncensored Mouse. It was supposed to be super provocative, but it wasn't.

 

I was looking through that comic at a show this morning. I'd never heard of it before today. It's odd that you'd mention it.

I find it more disconcerting than odd.

 

Well, it was a two second glance wondering what it was. Perhaps you should not mention things that are going to upset you?
