Since we have one thread for manga, why not comics too? When they flop, comics can flop hard.
Which comics you don't recommend?

The home of terrible comics! Well, not really, since those covers were made specifically to attract attention and didn't have anything to do with the rest of the story, but it's fun anyhow.

SBaHJ is indeed a terrible comic though. In the best way possible.
"It is my fond hope that I have ruined, or will ruin, comics for everyone else too. Scott McCloud wrote what I am sure is a pretty good book called Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. One day I hope to write a book called Ruining Comics: Forever. It will be a 1000 page book, and every page will simply be a photograph of my face." - Andrew Hussie, author of SBaHJ.
All-Star Batman
Fuck that shit, and fuck it to hell.
But he's the goddamn Batman. Who doesn't enjoy humourless adult men abducting and then cussing at children?

Good man.
This leads me to wonder if Homestuck is legitimately terrible, or if it's decent and the fanbase and overabundance of trolls has merely tainted my opinion of it. For all I know it might be a meta commentary on the tendency of webcomics to become wrapped up in themselves over time on some level of irony I've yet to understand. Hussie is a genius, after all.
It is kind of telling that his main characters in Sin City, unrepentant killers and thugs, are more likable than Frank Miller's Batman. Except for Dark Knight Returns where he was actually a crotchety old man, so he had justification to act like an ass (even though he seemed way more likable and tolerant).

In contrast, All-Star Superman was sublime.
If someone asks me "what Superman comic do you recommend, I don't know or care about 70 years of storylines and reboots" I would recommend that one. It distills all the best parts of Superman down into a single series. It does assume the reader has general knowledge of Superman's origin and premise, but you don't need to know about all the other stuff and can figure most of it out along the way.

Oh god, ASBAR. That one is on my of "three comics to use as guidelines as to how NOT to write comics" list.
I agree.
Personal opinion: there was no "creativity decline", Miller always wrote the same kind of stories, only in the beginning they were toned down because they were written early on. Nothing changed in Miller, people just started opening their eyes on Miller's stories.
Nobody mentioning Spiderman's "One Last Day?"
I didn't read it because I don't read Comics that much, but it is considered one of the worst things that was ever published by Marvel and is argued to be a Canon Hate-Fic for Mary Jane.
