10 Comic Book Story Arcs EVERYONE Hated
4. Heroes In Crisis
After Barry Allen died during the first ever Crisis his sidekick, Wally West, became the new Scarlet Speedster. When Barry returned to life decades later, readers assumed Wally would still play a significant role in the comics. I mean, it's not like he's going to be kicked to the curb after being the Flash for 33 years, right?
Actually, what DC did was worse. When the New 52 was launched, Wally West was erased as if he never existed. For half a decade, Wally was nowhere to be seen.
So, when he was reintroduced in DC Rebirth, fans were beyond excited. However, that excitement turned to horror when multiple superheroes were murdered in the Heroes in Crisis storyline, including Wally. Just to REALLY tick off fans, the story concludes by revealing that the superheroes were murdered by Wally and the "dead Wally" was placed to throw everyone off his scent!
But guess what? It gets worse!! The higher ups at DC then decided to redeem Wally by transforming him into the new Doctor Manhattan! Wally has suffered so many character assassinations recently, it would've been better if he was never reincorporated back in the comics.
