Comic books have been mined for video game inspiration countless times. Most of the resulting games were forgettable, but a few have managed to be so great they stand out in our minds, while others were so bad that we wish we could forget them. Here are, in our opinion, the worst and best comic book games ever made.

Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are all you need.
Spider-man 2, Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, the Punisher and X-Men Legends were are brilliant comic book games last gen'. Batman sucked. Oddly enough the roles have all reversed this gen'. DC Universe Online was great too, and now that it's going FTP more people will be able to see for themselves.
There are a ton of "Good" comic book games, Spider-man has turned it around with Spider-man 2, Ultimate Spider-man, and I even like some of his current gen stuff like Friend or Foe (if you go in knowing for kids) and Shattered Dimensions.
Batman has had Arkham Asylum, and soon city.
But would like to say a special shout-out to Batman: The Brave and the Bold, a fun beat-em up title, and some from last gen including Rise of Sin Tzu, which is fun in co-op and Vengeance, which was enjoyable.
