http://io9.com/5405696/the-15-dumbest-superhero-retcons-of-all-timeYeah, even though I haven't read most of those, I get mad reading about the crap that has been pulled in some titles. Thanks to One More Day (one that I have read), I've quit reading Amazing Spider-Man and haven't gone back. The Wolverine stuff is mind-blowingly bad.

Crom help me I've read them all!  I thought Jason Todd came back because he was immersed in the Lazarus Pit? There's so many awful one's there I don't know where to comment first. The Wolverine one is a shocker. I can ignore the Lazaer story thing but the recent "Romulus" story is awful. I actually thought the whole "Parallax" thing for Hal Jordan was quite clever. |

Yeah, I dug the Parallax retcon, and think it was handled about as well as it could have been. I can see where it pisses people off, though.

Boy, that's embarrassing. No wonder people think we're weird sometimes.

I don't think the Spider-man Spider god one deserves to be in there to be honest. If you read all of JMS run up to that point, it makes sense. If you keep reading.. prepare for disappointment.
I'd also point out that Sins Past is far better than Sins Remembered, and I read them back to back.
I think there's quite a few worse retcons that could be in there. Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic never existed (Avengers Disassembled - yet Strange himself uses them). HoM. Secret Invasion. The Clone Saga. Batman RIP/Final Crisis. Black Panther's costume post Priest. Gambit. Rogue. Need more?

All the Legion reboots should be in there, for sure.
