Give me an awesome but short lived series from the 90s or 00's

Chase from late nineties was excellent, struggle to see how it lasted less than a dozen issues.

And Steve Gerber’s two Hard Time series were similarly excellent, but lasted a wee bit longer.

Really enjoyed H.E.R.O.

Greg R’s Checkmate is one where I read and enjoyed first 12 issues, but had slight difficult in getting my hands on rest of series...enjoyed those I read..so will have to get rest via Comixology next time I run out of reading material.

Second on the Blue Beetle series. I'm a die hard Ted Kord fan, but I loved this series.

Dr. Thirteen by Brian Azzarello (backups from the Tales of Unexpected Mini)

YES. I didn't bring it up specifically because they were back-ups, but I absolutely love this series.

1) Len Stazewski's Justice Society of America, both the 1991 eight issue mini-series (which took place in 1950) and the ten issue ongoing series from 1992 (which saw an aging JSA struggling to find their place in the post-Crisis DCU). Both were significantly more lighthearted than the James Robinson/David Goyer/Geoff Johns JSA relaunch of 1998 (which is probably the comic series that had the single biggest impact on my tastes as a kid, so I ain't knockin' it).

2) Hear me out here: Extreme Justice. If you can get around the deeply early 90s art, it's a pretty solid (if B-list) team book that actually eschews the worst plot elements the art might imply. I'd actually hold it up as the best successor to Carey Bates & Greg Weisman's run on Captain Atom to date.

3) Suicide Squad Vol 2 by Kieth Giffen and Paco Medina. It couldn't be Ostrander's series and they knew it, so the creators took a vastly different direction: it focused largely on the new Squad's handlers (former Easy Company members Sgt. Rock and Bulldozer - the latter of whom was wheelchair bound, intelligence analyst Havana, and computer hacker Modem) as they assembled mission-specific teams of super criminals (with Killer Frost, Major Disaster, and Deadshot evolving into the core team in the back half). It had more frequent character deaths than the original series, though mainly from original creations (though no existing C-lister is safe). Vastly underrated.

4) And if you like Suicide Squad, Xero by Priest and ChrisCross is pretty good. Basically about a top level government assassin discovering some morals.

Definitely Power Company.

Skyrocket, Manhunter, Stryker Zero and Witchfire were really intriguing characters to get a focus. Later they added Firestorm, in what felt kind of like an awkward attempt to bring in some fans of more mainstream characters, but it was too little, too late, I suppose.

[OBrianTallent]

Black Condor was an excellent 12 issue series.

[Mister BoMan]

I liked Darkstars and wish it would return.

[Thirteen]

DAMAGE #1-12, 0. - great journey/calling of a new hero stuff
CHASE - Jessica Jones before there was Jessica Jones

[Ying Ko]

The Warlord vol 4 #1-16 By Mike Grell (2009)

[Kuwagaton]

Orion is a great short series. Kinda perfect for what most people seem to ask for
Major Bummer, Superboy and the Ravers, and Supermen of America are short series of young heroes.
REBELS written by Bedard was a pretty outstanding reintroduction of LEGION
Hawkworld is one of my favorite things ever before the last arc

Tempest by Phil Jimenez

I second the Titans recommendation! Especially if you are a Ray Palmer fan.

Also the Devin Grayson series after this run is incredible.
