Who was the worst writer to handle your favourite character

Just what the title says.

Superboy - Lobdell

Rob Leifeid - Superman

I don't really have a favorite character but Deadpool by Daniel Way was god awful.

kevin Smith - Batman

Haven't found one since I've been back.

I don't think I've been reading comics long enough to say lol

Akiva Goldsman, AKA the writer of the 1997 Batman and Robin film.

Spider-man -too easy to pick

Wolverine - Jeph leob

X-men - toss between fraction and bendis

Hulk - Jason Aaron

Static - Who ever wrote his New 52 stories

New Warriors - Mark Millar

Beechen - Cassie Cain

He was an editor not a writer.

Brian Azzalleo- cage That story was horrible. He made LC look & act like 50 cent.

Joker - Scott Snyder

Deadpool - Daniel Way

Teen Titans - Scott Lobdell

Catwoman - Anne Nocenti

Wolverine - Jeph Loeb

I could probably go on all night, but those are the ones that immediately jump to mind.

Jeph Loeb springs to mind for Wolverine.

Green Arrow - Ann Nocenti.

Tony s Daniel - Batman

Lobdell-Superman

Gillen - Iron Man

bump

Hmmm... the first that comes to mind is Rob Liefeld doing Lobo in the Deathstroke new 52.

Jeph Loeb for everything.

Agent Venom only hand Remender and Bunn, both did a great job. Kaine only had Yost, and he was awesome as well.

Spider-Man, however, has had quite a few. And Jason Aaron's Hulk run left me sad.

Chuck Austen on X-Men...

Frank Miller ranks up there for sure.

Geoff Johns- Batman

Cornell-Wolverine. Apparently James' whole identity is tied in directly to his healing factor. Lose that, and there goes the martial arts skill, attitude, and ferocious demeanor. Who knew?

@juiceboks: Preach.

Adam Glass - Deadshot

Scott Snyder- Batman!

Azzarello - WW

This answer is the winner!

Loeb actually made some really good Batman stories. So he isn't all bad.

@theacidskull:

Michael Bendis' Daredevil run was phenomenal, but yes, everything after that was crap.

Ultimate Marvel Universe-Jeph Loeb.

Hell anything I like that Jeph Loeb writes is full of suck and stupidity.

That's the Jeph Loeb way!

@wolverine08: Indeed. And rather then can him they put him in charge of cartoons and such.

You wonder why DC animated blows Marvel's stuff out of the water? I don't.

The sad part? That's the Deadpool that pop culture took notice of.

I'm surprised about the lack of Matt Fraction.

Dan Jurgens for Iron Fist in his 1998 miniseries. A close 2nd is Matt Fraction for every Iron Fist he's written.

Reginald Hudlin - Black Panther

Because of Hawkeye, everybody loves Fraction now.

I came into this thread just to say this, but I'm glad that you said it first. I'm not alone here ;D

Why does everybody hate Loeb now? I'm not meaning to single you guys out, I'm just saying in general there's allot of hate for the guy. Sure, his Ultimates was cr@p, but he's done allot of great stories before that...

His two passable stories are Hush and Long Halloween, he pretty much single handedly destroyed the Ultimate Universe with his stories, had a horrible Wolverine run that went against everything Wolverine is, had an extremely poorly written Red Hulk series where Rulk was using Thor's hammer to beat him up, had another extremely inconsistent series with Batman/Superman, and is overall just an extremely inconsistent writer.

Ah, I see. I honestly haven't read any of his Wolverine, Red Hulk, or Superman/Batman, so I'll have to take your word for it. I thought the general reception to his Superman/Batman series was positive though.

However, he has done many great stories other than Hush and Long Halloween.

Would Nolan's Batman exist without Loeb?

I mean, the guy can be good when he is trying to be consistent, but when he's just doing his usual, he ends up having ridiculously inconsistent and poorly written works.

Yeah, I can see that. I guess every writer gets his fair share of hate. Can you believe I've even seen a few people that don't like Grant Morrison's writing? :P

And thanks. Now I know to steer clear of those comics you mentioned.

@battle_forum_junkie:

You'll save yourself pain by avoiding those series, but I can't really see how people don't like Morrison. He's a beast.

jeph Loeb destroyed the ultimate universe for me. I actually liked the fact that they killed a lot of characters off, but the writing was just so bad.
