Ok, just because I'm curious and I feel like venting against Jeph Loeb. Who's on your list?

C'mon. Chaykin does some poor stories sometimes, but I really like his art. If he's doing the worst art you're seeing, you're very lucky and are steering away from some really atrocious stuff that's out there. (Yes, Tan Eng Huat & Farrel Dalrymple, I'm looking at you guys....)

Tan Eng Huat on Ghost Rider was just painful!

he ruined it for me as well. I just love the Punisher and enjoy Remender's writing but that last arc was difficult for me to get through. It just isn't my thing.

I don't like singling out individual creators. So instead I'll mention some comics:

New Mutants #5 was the single worst comic I bought this year. I love the New Mutants, and for the most part have enjoyed Zeb Welles' relaunch, but the art in this issue was so atrocious, I couldn't make it to the end.

Fantastic Four #569 (the last part of "Masters of Doom") was a close second. A total rush job.
