 | Category Freaks Volume 1 (v. 1) by Sakurako Gokurakuin
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $0.01 This manga committed the cardinal sin for any book: it was predictable, repetitive and uninteresting. It sounds good if you've never seen it, but it's not worth the space it takes up on your shelf.
|
 | No Man's Land Vol 1 by Jason DeAngelis
Buy used from: $0.01 Uninteresting main character, gross for its own sake without adding to the plot and, worst of all, this manga has none of the hallmarks of manga, reading more like a particularly bad American comic.
|
 | Paycheck (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.01 I saw this in a dollar theater and I still think I wasted money. It tried to build suspense and failed utterly--I was bored by the time it was over.
|
 | Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.40 This movie suffered from far too much of its makers trying to make a child's tale too adult. It was jarring and kept me from enjoying the movie at all.
|
 | Batman & Robin
Buy used from: $1.99 Boy, what to say about Batman and Robin. Way to nearly kill a franchise, guys. No wonder Batman Begins had to reboot continuity to save it.
|
 | The Authority Book 2: Under New Management by Warren Ellis
Buy new: $12.23 / Used from: $7.89 The fantastic Ellis/Hitch story nearly saved this book from this list. And maybe a good enough artist could have saved Mark Millar's trashy stortelling, but nothing can redeem Frank Quitely's art.
|
 | Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol. 4: Inhuman (v. 4) by Mike Carey
Buy new: $11.04 / Used from: $2.69 Perhaps this book is so disappointing because the three that came before it were so good.
|
 | La Esperanca Volume 1 (Yaoi) (La Esperanca 1) (v. 1) by Chigusa Kawai
Buy new: $10.36 / Used from: $0.01 If you can tell who's doing what in this manga, I say go for it, but I couldn't tell one character from another.
|
 | Jazz Volume 1 (Yaoi) (v. 1) by Tamotsu Takamure
Buy new: $11.01 / Used from: $1.00 There are no words to describe how much I hate the "you raped me, now I'm hopelessly in love with you" plotline. If I'd known that's what this was going in, I never would have bought the book.
|
 | Gravitation, Vol. 1 by Maki Murakami
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.01 I don't know why everyone makes so much of this series, really I don't. Maybe I was just spoiled by seeing characters I could actually empathize with in previous mangas by the time I read this one.
|
 | Double Team
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $2.91 Do I really have to explain why this is on this list? I like cheesy action flicks and I still couldn't stand this movie.
|
 | 12 Monkeys (Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $1.49 This movie makes no damn sense.
|
 | The Crow - City of Angels (Collector's Series)
Buy used from: $3.90 It really is a crime to follow up a masterpiece like The Crow with trash like this.
|
 | Piano - Secret Love (Vol. 1)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $4.25 I couldn't even finish this volume, much less the whole series. No suspense, no character development, practically no plot-just skip this one.
|
 | Dazzle Volume 1 by Minari Endoh
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.81 This manga has much the same problem as Gravitation. You are supposed to like the main characters of an ongoing series or at least empathize with them. You are not supposed to want somebody to come along and beat them senseless.
