    Default If you could bring back a cancelled New 52 book, . . .

    . . . which one(s) would you choose? (And maybe why?)

    As far as I can tell, the books from the original New 52 first wave that were cancelled and not relaunched are:
    All-Star Western
    Animal Man
    Batman: The Dark Knight
    Batwing
    Birds of Prey
    Blackhawks
    Blue Beetle
    Captain Atom
    DC Universe Presents
    Demon Knights
    Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
    The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men
    Grifter
    Hawk and Dove
    I, Vampire
    Justice League International
    Legion Lost
    Legion of Super-Heroes
    Men of War
    Mister Terrific
    O.M.A.C.
    Resurrection Man
    The Savage Hawkman
    Static Shock
    Stormwatch
    Superboy
    Voodoo

    And from the 2nd through 5th waves, the books introduced and cancelled were:
    Batman, Incorporated (2nd wave)
    Dial H (2nd wave)
    G.I. Combat (2nd)
    The Green Team: Teen Trillionaires (5th)
    Justice League of America (4th)
    Justice League of America's Vibe (4th)
    Katana (4th)
    Larfleeze (5th)
    The Movement (5th)
    Ravagers (2nd)
    Superman Unchained (5th)
    Sword of Sorcery (3rd)
    Talon (3rd)
    Team 7 (3rd)
    Threshold (4th)
    Trinity of Sin: Pandora (5th)
    (Trinity of Sin: ) The Phantom Stranger (3rd)

    The Movement by a country mile.

    Though given how it ended (as in, unplanned and ahead of schedule), I'm tempted to say William and Blackman's Batwoman as well.

    And there are other characters I wish would get another shot at an ongoing, even if (and maybe even preferably if) they don't represent the book's creative teams at the time they concluded: Hawk and Dove and Stormwatch topping that list.

    Dial H for sure. It had so much potential, but was always too "out there" to find a mainstream audience. Since a lot of people will go with that, I'd add Resurrection Man just because I'm such a fan of that character.

    Static Shock or Firestorm, with different creative teams obviously. Those two are really interesting characters visually and, given their power sets, have potential for great stories.

    Superboy with the creative team that did the final five issues, and keep it away from crossovers and keep Kon out of the Teen titans book

    StormWatch - as it was in Issue #30

    Dial H, above all.

    Batman Inc if Morrison would have stayed.

    Legion, if we could have a completely new creative team.

    OMAC and Blackhawks I could have done with a bit more of.

    I thought Frankenstein was fun.

    I'd bring back Mr Terrific but with a different creative team.

    Frankenstein absolutely.

    Sword of Sorcery...but just as Amethyst.

    Legion of Super Heroes.

    I'd bring back Hawkman, Static Shock, Larfleeze, Katana, Vibe, Firestorm, Captain Atom, Mister Terrific, Batwing & I, Vampire. As a matter of fact, all of those titles that the OP listed deserve second chances. There really isn't a lot of variety right now when it comes to DC.

    Dial H, although I wouldn't have minded some more I, Vampire and Animal Man.

    Blue Beetle! I really miss seeing Jaime on a regular basis. Also Stormwatch, but with an entirely revamped premise.

    Frankenstein would be my first choice.

    Animal Man, Voodoo, JLA, Birds of Prey, Stormwatch, Blue Beetle, Sword of Sorcery, and Dial H I'd also like to see return

    There are other titles I liked, but felt they ended appropriately.
    Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

    trade-waiting - Ice Cream Man, Monstress

    backlog - Blade of the Immortal, Mignolaverse, Promethea, X-Cutioner's Song

    OMAC...
    without a doubt.

    now, if we were talking a new try with a new creative team? I'd want either Blue Beetle or Static Shock

    Dial H, for sure. Batman, INC. if Morrison stayed longer.

    Captain Atom with the same team focusing on the more cosmic adventures the end of the series hinted at. Legion, with a whole new creative team and direction.

    I think Blue Beetle could have had a lot more life, under a better writer's pen.
