Best series that lasted 20 issues or less?

[Sandy Hausler]

Black Lightning - 11 issues



Freedom Fighters - 15 issues

While I have a soft spot for the Freedom Fighters, from my favorite JLA/JSA team-up, but that series was not that good (as I recall).

Come to think of it New 52 had a bunch of these

Prez
Dial H for Hero
I, Vampire
Gotham by Midnight
Shade
Penguin
Omega Men
Batman Incorporated
Superman Unchained
Legend of Wonder Woman
G.I. Zombie
etc...

Three books come to mind for mine.

Chase (criminally underrated book)
Chronos I live in hope of Walker Gabriel reappearing some time soon
Aztek A little Morrison/Millar character who had a short solo series after being a member of the JLA.

OMAC is so great, its a shame that the 8th issue ends on a cliffhanger and you have to find the backups in Kamandi and Warlord to complete the story.

David Morris and Dek Baker did their own amateur small press version of OMAC v1 #9.

Cannot be stressed enough.

One of the finest titles DC has ever published.

Just a wee bit of a tangent coming up.

When I first started reading comics again about 15 years ago one thing I did was to look for DC series featuring B/C/D characters that got to 20 issues or more.

My belief was that any series featuring non A characters that survived that long was probably going to be very good. (It turned out right in large majority of cases.)

As we’ve seen in this thread it’s hard to get past a dozen issues unless lead star is “cat A”.

It had its moments. I loved the Crusaders 2-parter. I wasn't a fan of the team being wanted by the law. May have been better if they had gotten Len Wein to write it -- since he wrote that JLA/JSA story in which the team first appeared.

I would have preferred it if it were set on Earth X. And yes, it would have been great if Len Wein had written it.

I enjoyed Primal Force. It was sort of a precursor to Shadowpact and JL Dark.

Freedom Fighters Vol. 3 12 issue limited series by Vendetti and Barrows with Jesse Owens as a member of the team against Nazis including evil Plastic men.

YES! This series was awesome, and Barrows' art was off the charts amazing.

I’m reading this question as ongoing series that didn’t last more than 20 issues, but I have seen several limited series, so I’m just going to say that apart from the controversial Heroes in Crisis which I loved (come at me), we’re talking about limited series’ Tom King every time. Best writer at DC by far and his limited series are extraordinary.
