Biggest Key, Weakest Story?

In your opinion, which grail book contains the weakest writing, art or story yet goes for just a ridiculous amount of money?

wow what a great idea for a thread.   Ok how about first GROOT TTA 13-doesn't get much weaker than that....

Werewolf by Night 32

Currently very expensive, also very mediocre

what if venom possessed Deadpool........other than the cover not much going for it

Detective Comics 27.  Atrocious artwork.  The only way that guy could've improved his quality was if he'd just given up and got someone else to draw for him instead.

Incredible Hulk #271.  Lame cover, terrible art, terrible story.  It doesn't get any worse than that issue IMHO.

What about New Mutants 98? Story is kind of so so?

I cracked open my JLA Omnibus earlier this week and finally read BB 28. I'm not saying it was horrible, but it was quite charming in its ridiculousness. I'm still not sure Starro should be marketing himself as "The Conqueror" when, by his own admission, Earth was his first attempt at conquering. And it failed. Also, "Snapper"

That was a kind of a crazy one with the Hulk meeting them then conviently losing them. 

One that is much worst though is Marvel Premiere 7. Real confusing art.

Not Keith Giffen's best work.

I have to agree. That story was pretty trash.

[Artboy99]

so many choices!

 

I HATED Hulk 271, I was a fanatical Hulk collector, and that cover was such a turn off and extremely lame.

NM 98 is horrid, the art is atrocious ( look at Deadpool on the cover, the longest and skinniest body ever ) I just can't read it, I have tried, I just can't.

What If Venom Possessed Deadpool: I actually did try to read it one time and I could not believe how awful it was. I did not finish the read.

Only because the story is basically cobbled together for being such a major grail book. I don't mind non-linear story telling. But the seams and transitions in this look a patchwork of "Hmm... where should I jump to next?", IMOO.

NM 98, Liefeld and all, is a masterpiece compared to some keys.

What puzzles me about this thread is why people are talking about What If Venom Possessed Deadpool. Can that book actually be used to open locks or something?

Liefeld and Masterpiece never get to be used in the same sentence.

No kidding Lazyboy! this thread is supposed to be about KEY comics ,the drek issue being mentioned is unworthy of this thread!

I'm pretty sure "Rob Liefeld does not have the skills that are necessary to create a masterpiece." is a sentence.

The reality is that some issues, though desired for historical reasons, are so poorly written (and/or drawn) that they are nearly unreadable. NM 98 isn't going to win any awards based on the quality of its content, but it really isn't that bad.
