The Most Boring Comic Of All Time?

Oh dear, what have you wrought? My dullstick is tickled, and i nominate the following:

AARGH! The Anti-Clause 28 comic The leading comics professionals of the early 90's come together in one volume to make one of Thatcher's most evil bits of legislation suddenly seem REALLY DULL. "It's a bad thing! And Shakespeare was a bit Gay too!" it says. Again and again. On every page. And nothing else at all. Makes Red Wedge look like Daphne & Celeste.

SPIDERMAN & POWERPACK SPECIAL (it was free, all right?) Another good cause - Spiderman joins with Marvel's pre-teen heroes (in skin tight costumes - hmmm) to battle child abuse. However, child abuse in this book seems to mean exclusively A Light Tickling by a 14 year old to a 5 year old. Then a lot of sitting around, some looking out of a window, and Spidey buying The Pack Kids a soda ... hang on...

SECRET WARS All of Marvel's greatest heroes are taken to another planet by a man in a mullet (who can get away with it as he is All Powerful) and for 12 issues they all sort of stand around, being muscley. Spiderman changes his clothes at some point, possibly someone has a cup of tea, can't remember. Everyone gets so bored that The Mighty THING falls asleep and misses the bus home.

SPIDEY vs. GREEN GOBLINE/CAPT AMERICA vs. MEPHISTO etc etc Long-running one page strip in all Marvel COmics. Villain turns up, goodie gives him a TWINKIE, the end. Or was there something more to it that i was missing?

Funnily enough, i did come to work wearing an anorak today...

He didn't have a mullet, Mark, he had a medallion-man perm.

most boring? Hoo, boy, there's alot of them... I must say that The Defenders (old old X-Men offshoot... had Sunspot and Angel with them) and late Cloak & Dagger definately ranks up there amongst the worst. So does the post-Superman "death" stuff... hell, the PRE- Superman "death" stuff. Alpha whateveryoucallit.. the canadian Avengers. They were pretty dull. The Avengers themselves were pretty dull (the superhero one, not the TV duo, the TV duo was fun).

Destination Moon boring? Oh no.....

Anal as you like, but this was about 15-20 years before the real moon landing. The comic moments were pretty good - Haddock sprayed by minral water, Haddock smoking the Professor's Ear Trumpet, Thompsons in Greek costume and Calculus playing the goat (and the following amnesia).

But to fully take Destination Moon, you must read Explorers On The Moon in the same read.

"Crisis on Infinite Earths" is incredibly boring. you're meant to get all excited about all the superheroes from parallel worlds meeting each other and getting killed, but it's so yawnsome.

Oh the "Death of Superman" is complete crap...he fights this monster for 48 pages and then he dies. Never really like Tin Tin, didn't someone release a porno version recently? Some Manga comics are a hit and miss...on a related note "DragonBall Z" is the world's most boring cartoon...all they do is stand around for 25 minutes waiting for some bad guy to show up, "Gundam Wing" is the most confusing cartoon I've seen.

Someone brought out a completely pointless Tin Tin novel in which Tin Tin gets laid.

However, for completely brilliant Tin Tin rip-off action you want "Breaking Free", in which Tin Tin and the Captain take on capitalism and end up taking part in a revolution. It's great, one of the best comics ever written.

Remember that much sought-after crossover between Image and Valiant? God did that suck. Now does anybody remember Trencher? That was the BEST book I've ever read.

i liked when kieth whats-his-name was doing ambush bug way better. trencher was just him stealing lobo from himself.

Tintin books are the best and I won't have a word said against them! How about "Love Is..." for the most boring comic? I mean, come on.

I luv Archie comics, but those "You Don't Need Drugs to..." and "Know Your Heroes!" splitters they use are bogus.

By the way, if you didn't like the Twinkie comix, the ones where they hand out Hostess apple and cherry pies were much better.
