    Never big on magic books. Unrelatable, and not in a fun way.

      Understandable. I like a few magic cape books, then again I like a few team books despite avoiding them. I've never come across a magic series I had a problem with for reasons other than general bad writing.

      >Any sub-genre of cape books you actively avoid?
      Books where the superhero fractions turn on one another. More often than not the set up is very stupid.

      >hero vs hero
      I don't like this either.

      I avoid quirky/twee books like Fraction's Hawkeye. I'm also not hot on cosmic stuff.

      >quirky/twee books like Fraction's Hawkeye
      I forgot to add this. It's a big AVOID for me too. Even in less severe forms.

      I like magic books only when its what Hellblazer, Swamp Thing and Sandman laid down. I hate magic when its portals and fireballs and near-god tiers feats.

    I avoid books like Legion of Superheroes or x- books, stuff made for the comic shop nerd crowd with convoluted continuity. Too many characters, hokey dialogue and bad melodrama. Corny character designs and concepts.

      Are there any Lo SH fans under the age of 40? I imagine every fan is some 45+ year old who’s super into the history of Lasso lad and particle girl and knows issue numbers into the hundreds by heart

    Can't really name any. MAYBE cape spy books, just because some of the ones I've read have been a little boring and not because I dislike that subgenre.

    Ongoings. I've been turned off anything that isn't a limited series. Just complete lack of faith that anyone can get a run done.

      I've pretty much always been this way.
      Out of all the ongoings I've tried reading, I think I only like a handful.

    Event books.

    I hate it when i'm reading a character's run i'm interested in and suddenly i have to drop everything and read from 3 different character's runs that are otherwise unrelated.

    I find it it even more obnoxious when it eats up the issues of the run i was reading, leaving fewer issues for the main focus and instead shoving them in some dumb ass team up with too many characters to give a shit about.

    Since people already mentioned events and quirky shit, then derivatives.
    You know: any Spider-person who's not Peter Parker (not that his books are any good now, but that's beside the point), Hawkeye but girl, etc.
