Any in particular?
A few bad runs IMO:
Tom Defalco's Fantastic Four-Tom's done some great Spider-Man work, but his FF run-which lasted for most of the 90's-was really lacking. Although it had great art by Paul Ryan, Tom started off his run by revealing that Human Torch's wife and Thing's old flame Alicia was in fact a Skrull imposter, then it went downhill from there with scarred Thing, a bimbo Susan, adult Franklin, and a rotating cast of replacements for Reed (Such as Namor and Scott Lang's Ant-Man), who was dead for a chunk of Defalco's run.
Bruce Jones's Hulk-Bruce's Hulk mainly was written as "The Incredible Banner" with the Hulk making rare appearences and the stories mainly being updates of the old TV show. When the Hulk did appear he was written largely inconsistently, as savage, smart, or mute. Peter David wisely explained the whole thing largely as a bad dream when he took over for a brief run, and the Hulk was largely redeemed by the Planet Hulk arc, thankfully.
Chuck Austen's X-men: Chuck wrote for Uncanny and the adjectiveless title starting in 2001, replacing the largely unpopular Joe Casey. At first, it was a breath of fresh air after Casey's run, but soon the title devolved into bad fan fiction. He largely ruined the characterizations of Juggernaught and Polaris, although later writers would salvage them.
Any other candidates?
