Your Fav Drek Title?

[Ken Aldred]

Grim Jack

 

Great book. As with his work on The Spectre, John Ostrander is very underrated.

[Revol]

Gen 13

[Davenport]

+1

As is Timothy Truman.

In my mind Tim Truman is right up there with the best. An actual master-level 'illustrator' imho.

(I was just thinking what a fun run Air Boy was.)

Truman's excellent. Another book of his that could be placed in the drek category, rather unfairly, is Hawkworld. Really enjoyed this mini-series.

I liked American Flagg, Grimm Jack and Jon Sable. Great reading to me but not worth much.

Captain Canuck.

- Quasar

- Squadron Supreme by Mark Gruenwald

- The Shadow (Helfer / Baker run )

- Shade the Changing Man (Milligan / Bachalo)

 

The Helfer / Baker run on The Shadow is one of the funniest things I ever read. Huge fan.

X - Force.

 

dont care what anyone thinks. I was 9 or 10 when i started reading them and it was awesome to me. The whole stryfe is cable / cable is stryfe stuff was mind blowing when i was a kid

OK but this does not change the fact they factually trashed a title, and a group of characters slowly developed and accurately crafted just to follow the momentary fad of the soon to be Image artists.

 

That alone, is deprecable. I was 18-19 when reading these stories, and when I started to read New Mutants #87 I believed they had kidnapped the writer and swapped her with an alien.

 

i wasnt into new mutants until issue 87 so it was new to me. But now as ive read the series i def can see your point.

Ambush Bug, first two mini-series.

Ms Mystic

I might get things thrown at me for saying this, but I loved the Clone Saga and even enjoyed Maximum Carnage. The little kid in me remembers reading those issues as they were coming out and I thought they were a blast. One of my good friends had a bunch of the books with the cutout covers like ASM 400 and I thought they were the coolest things ever. It is funny to think that him showing me books that were such drek as a young kid would grow me into a lifelong comic collector.

 

Spectacular Spider-Man, anything up to Kraven's Last Hunt seems criminal to find in quarter and dollar bins. Everyone chases Amazing 194, but no one reads the Black Cat story in Spectacular...

 

(thumbs u The story in 194 is awful. The Spectacular story defined and made the Black Cat.

 

 

I also enjoyed some of the Clone saga, but it all got a bit too convoluted. But Ben Reilly was a solid character. Never read Maximum Carnage.

[Azkaban]

Rom and Micronauts

would never call this drek but you can pick up James Robinson's Starman #0-80 for about a buck a book. brilliant from start to finish.

Spectacular has long been criminally underappreciated. I know that Sal Buscema isn't to everyone's taste, but I absolutely love his work on this series. I enjoyed this series more than Amazing throughout much of the 90s. Just really good stuff.

I started rebuying the floppies recently as its cheaper to put a run together than it is to buy the collections. More fun too.

I could always find Starman in cheap boxes for 50p, even back in the 90s. I looked forward to digging out the latest issue each month. I got the first 3 years of the title this way, up until when DC ceased distribution over here.

Not drek, but definitely under-appreciated:

 

Alan Davis' Batman & the Outsiders/Outsiders.
