- Atom, I remember reading those America editions of the always entertaining Longbox Junk. And you know what? I'm glad you read them, because if you hadn't, we would have missed out on a couple amazingly entertaining blogs by you!

- I'm a big Moon Knight fan, most of you know that already. I read the most recent MK run (Volume 8 ) and I agree that #200 was not a good read (why in the did I buy two?). But the worst comic book you ever read? Not even close. There are tonnes of books out there that are not very worthy, trust me, I probably read them and when done, sighed very loudly in disgust.

- Punisher after he went demonic or something.
And Spider-Man during the clone saga stuff. Killed reading Spiderman forever for me.

- I forgot about the Punisher "dying" and becoming an angel at the end of the '90s. That was horrid!!

- I would like to include some fairly new comic books. I read my buddy's copies of Defenders: Best Defense. Technically it was four one-shots of Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor and Silver Surfer, then a Defenders one-shot book to connect them altogether.
Each book was worse than the one before it. They made no sense and the Silver Surfer book didn't have the title character show up until halfway through!! The Defenders book was the best of the lot, but I was not very happy once I finally got there. These books are less than 10 months old and should be avoided at all costs, whether you like The Defenders or not.

I did a review a while back of the Defenders issue that tied up the one shots (without realizing it was part of a series) and if that was the GOOD one, then I'm glad I didn't buy the rest. . .

- Atom, I won't fight you on "America" as I have never read it and almost certainly never will, but the title of the post refers to the worst comic I have ever read. In the first runner up position I will name a series that was so bad I had nearly forgotten it until Maverickrtm mentioned the awful Clone Saga through all the Spider-Man books. Dreadful.
On top of the pedestal for me, however, is a book from an artist/writer who while he managed to create a couple of pretty memorable characters who have gone on to some fame and fortune including on the silver screen, also gave those of us unfortunate enough to have read it, and indescribable mess. I am referring of course to Rob Liefeld and his earliest creation for Image Comics, the absolutely worst comic book stories I have ever forced myself to read - Youngblood. If you are not familiar with them, do yourself a favor and do not seek them out!! Longbox Junk status is too high an honor for those comics.Tenzil
