What series do you secretly hate that the comic community always praises?

[drotto]

Just curious. What books or series out there, which are universally praised by critics and fans, that you just can not stand or get into? On the other hand, what are you guilty pleasures?

Walking Dead

What books or series out there, which are universally praised by critics and fans, that you just can not stand...

Dark Knight Returns...

 

Runner up: Watchmen.

 

There...I said it.

Ditto on Watchmen, hated the comic, hated the movie

Loved 'em both when I was in college.

 

Now? Not so much.

 

I think Dylan understood:

 

"I was so much older then...I'm younger than that now."

Neal Adams Green Arrow. I understand the significance of the run, but I didn't care much for them, and I hated paying for them back in the early 2000's. I never found the keys in my price range, and gave up.

 

Guilty pleasure: 90's Namor by John Byrne.

Dark Knight Returns. I bet it would make a great movie but I hated reading it. I read it twice just to see if I missed something, but I didn't.

Preacher

Preacher

 

+1 I couldn't finish the first issue.

Ugh Preacher. UGH

 

100 bullets. Based on the premise no one can go buy ammo.

Preacher

 

+1 I couldn't finish the first issue.

 

Though I'm part of the "comic community always praises" it for this book, I can understand why someone would think that. Especially if not making it past the 1st issue. Ennis is definitely a love or hate kind of guy.

 

Transmet is one of my all-time favorite books. But the 1st time I read #1, I thought it was horrible. Read it again and forced myself to move forward. The 1st three issues are still the worst for me. But the rest of the series is liquid gold.

 

Swinging back to Preacher. If a person doesn't enjoy the 1st few issues, they probably are not going to like it at all.

I read the first volume of 100 Bullets and it was so bad I was actually offended.

I couldn't believe my buddy reccommended that stupid book

I read the first issue of Transmetrolopitan and was convinced it sucked.
