For me, it's got to be the new "Challengers of the Unknown" limited series. Horrible amateurish art, incomprehensible plot. Jack Kirby would roll over in his grave at seeing this piece of junk. (And to make matters worse, I have 4 issues so far, because I keep forgetting to tell my CBS that I don't want it anymore.)

Marvel did a limited series in the 90's called STARBLAST.
Not even my love for Adam Warlock could get me to buy more than the first issue. The art was by veteran Herb Trimpe in that Liefeld-esque style he adopted towards the end of his career in an attempt to keep "current", and thus keep working.
Sad, sad, sad. And I couldn't tell you anything about the story.

I love the current Doom Patrol. That four armed monkey man "Grunt" is a work of genius!
I have the entire run of "The Titans". I don't think there is a single not-awful issue in the entire run yet I never stopped buying it.

When a local comic shop closed in the 90s I got three long boxes for $20 or something like that. But to fill the long boxes I chose a lot of questionable drek that I'm blanking on. Thankfully...

Two Words: Alpha Flight.
As a canuck I had to try the new series. Man was it ever bad. I have not even been sucessful in my attempts to give the damn thing away. I'd light it on fire but I doubt it would even burn right!

I'll echo the sentiments on Challengers. I actually dropped it after issue one, although I had already pre-ordered #2.
I also never bothered to order the final issue of Seaguy. What an incomprehnsible mess that one was. And worse, I see Morrison chastising fans in the press for not "getting it."

Actually I've rather gotten into Alpha Flight this time and have enjoyed every issue thus far. It isn't as funny as SHE-HULK but it has at least one or two chuckle-y moments per issue, for me.

Yeah, Lobdell's AF isn't anywhere near that bad.
For me: Crapuation Day. Awful art, nonsensical story, everyone out of character and Winick couldn't even get the frelling LINEUPS of the teams he was destroying right.
And, although I was given it rather than paid for it, I have to agree with Pov that Starblast was awful and wrecked the tail-end of Quasar.

Challengers of the Unknown is horrible. Semi is right, Kirby is rolling over in his grave.
The final issues of Superboy were absolute crap. Terrible.
Lots of shitty DC/Marvel titles in the 90's: Firebrand, Manhunter, Fate, Forceworks, and so many others. Who could forget the twenty Ghost Rider/Punisher/Spider-Man/Wolverine comics and mini's that would be out every month in the early 90's. And most of them were utter crap!
The worst comic run that I think I've ever read however, *has* to be the first 12 issues of the current Aquaman series. It's just that bad.
