    Default A series of less than 6 issues you wish had lasted.

    Exactly what the title says.

    Name series that only lasted 6 - ish issues that you liked and thought deserved a longer run. Can be a team, known character or new character.

    I’ll start with Doorway To Nightmare - Madame Xanadu was a good character. Sure she had a Vertigo series years later but I was sorry to see her first series go by the wayside.

    Also, The Stalker. Drawn by Ditko. It was a different take on sword and sorcery adventure.

    ^^^awesome choice.
    Why DC has never tried their own version of Captain America is beyond me.

    Not sure if it counts but J. Michael Straczynski‘s Red Circle books were supposed to be a much bigger deal than just a bunch of one shots.

    Major Bummer had a 17 issue run. Was ultimately collected thank god, easily my most favourite nontraditional superhero type book.

    I've even chatted with artist Doug Mahnke on Instagram about the series and how I'd love to see a reboot. He was very cool!

    This was a rare gem of a book. Such great and quirky characters, they could have been mined for a ton of stories.
