So Bad It's Horrible/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_Continuum:_The_Definitive_Chronology Continuum], a typo-riddled, poorly-organized "definitive chronology" of IDW's ''[[Transformers]]'' stories up to the present, is jam-packed with erroneous facts, skipped-over plotlines, and events out of chronological order...and it gets even more sickening when you realize it was written by one of IDW's two ''Transformers'' editors. It was meant to let people know their official stand on ''TF'' continuity, but it was absolutely useless as a resource. Its writer, Andy Schmidt, while he [[Old Shame|regrets the book]], was [[Never Live It Down|never allowed to forget it]].

** The [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Wars_Sourcebook Beast Wars Sourcebook] is also pretty infamous. Terrible layout and ordering, wildly varying art quality (with Frank Milkovich's [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Silverboltbeastwarssourcebook.jpg take on Silverbolt] being especially infamous), boring writing that reads more like a plot summary of the ''[[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon than a description of the character and purge any non-[[The Chew Toy|Waspinator]] related humor, strange and arbitrary change to the personality of the Japanese characters, and a whole lot of typos and other editing errors. Even more disappointing, considering that the ''[[Transformers Generation One|Generation 1]]'' and ''[[Transformers Armada|Armada]]'' sourcebooks from the otherwise reviled Dreamwave era are generally considered to be excellent.

* The original ''[[Family Guy]]'' comics from Devil's Due Publishing. Nothing good can happen when you take a show that mostly derives its humor from delivery, timing, and voice acting and adapt it into a medium that has ''none of that''. There is zero attempt to make this in any way comic-like. The panels are just rows of boxes, composed into a vaguely comic-like simulacrum. A joke or conversation will start in the third-to-last panel on one page and end halfway into the next. Everything looks stiff, like someone just took a screen cap of the show. The comic is almost always at 3/4 view, and the artwork is full of blatant cutting and pasting, facial - expressions, poses, even entire panels are copied wholesale. The book only lasted three issues, all three were collected into a TPB lovingly named "The ''Family Guy'' Big Book of Crap." [[Old Shame|Really says something about what the people who worked on it thought of it.]]

* ''[[Incarnate]]'' is a comic written and "drawn" by [[Kiss|Gene Simmons']] son Nick. "Drawn" is written in quotation marks because he allegedly traced and copied most of the art from various manga. In case he gets cleared of that — most of the dialogue is broken and fragmented, and the story is completely incoherent. It's so bad that the company has ceased distribution of the comic because of legal claims from the company that publishes the manga he stole the art from, which, by the way, included ''[[Hellsing (Manga)|Hellsing]]'', ''[[Deadman Wonderland (Manga)|Deadman Wonderland]]'', ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'', ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'', and various [[Deviant ART]] pages.
