Comic series/runs that ended to soon

[Tony]

Have to agree with Thor by Straczynski and would add Black Lightning by Tony Isabella, Action Comics by Chuck Austin, William Moulton Marston Wonder Woman, and everything written by Judd Winick...Man I miss that guy.

[Speed Force League Unlimited]

Ruckas Punisher.

*sigh

It ended a good arc on a good note.
I'd love to see another run by him.

[The Cheat]

Lucifer.
I really enjoy the series and wish it lasts longer.

Just got the final TPB so will be reading this imminently. Looking forward to it.

[CrazyOldHermit]

Yep. I loved Ruckas run. If it had gone on a bit longer it would well be within range of Ennis for me.

He showed a good grasp of Frank's character, it's just a shame he felt the need to express that through a distaff clone instead of, you know, the actual character.

[electr1cgoblin]

Almost everything I have liked in the last two decades, lol.

Seriously...Giffen's Doom Patrol, Agents of Atlas (five issues??!), Avengers Academy, Hard Times by Steve Gerber, Aztek the Ultimate Man, The Power Company, D.P. 7, all of Peter David's X-Factor incarnations, every She-Hulk incarnation, Len Strazewski's JSA, Cary Bates' Captain Atom, others I can't think of.

I'd add Rucka's Checkmate run in addition to his Punisher run. I also just picked up the run of Journey into Mystery staring Sif from a year or so ago. I heard great things, but it too ended quickly with only 10 issues.

[Billy Batson]

Agents of Atlas (five issues??!)

The first mini was 6 issues, then a 11 issues long ongoing, after that Atlas vs X-Men, and Atlas vs Avengers (collected in Agents of Atlas: Vs.) and then the 5 issues long series.

[hannah]

The Walking Dead, both series and comic

[Taral-DLOS]

The Walking Dead, both series and comic

Aren't those both still being produced? Or is their eventual ending "too soon", regardless of how long it goes?

[matt levin]

oh my memory! NEXT WAVE! NEXT WAVE!! NEXT WAVE!!!

[Cherokee Jack]

SONIC DISRUPTORS-------hey, I liked it it, even if it's author (Mike Baron) didn't.

[Dark-Flux]

He showed a good grasp of Frank's character, it's just a shame he felt the need to express that through a distaff clone instead of, you know, the actual character.

I wasnt particularly bothered by that. I thought it served to better illustrate his point that Frank was lightning in a bottle and that even someone who went through the same thing he did was incapable of doing what he does.
I also loved how by shifting focus to Rachel Alves, the reporter and police detectives Frank became much more of an anomoly. Weve seen the monologuing War-journal Frank plenty of times and i found it a nice change of pace to no longer be privvy to his thoughts or motivations and only seeing him from an outsiders perspective. I found it made him much more onimous.

[Avengers1986]

Stern/Byrne on Captain America
Geoff Johns on Avengers
Barr/Davis on Detective Comics
Byrne on Hulk (1986)
Micheline/Byrne on Avengers
Peter David on Spectacular Spiderman

What about books that were not that good at all, but were canceled after just an issue or two. Like Solarman (Marvel 1989) or Nightcat (1991)? Anyone know of a website that lists some of these books that were effectively canceled before the first issue hit the stands?

In terms of modern era stuff not yet mentioned:

R.E.B.E.L.S. - This series was wonderful, and DC not only cancelled it, but cancelled THE FREAKIN FINAL TRADE SO IT REMAINS UNCOLLECTED!

Glory (Image) - Excellent artwork, great story that was forced to wrap up too quickly

Planet of the Apes (boom) - One of the top 3 books of the past 5 years

Exterminators (vertigo) - really loved this one. like Glory and PotA it was forced to wrap up the ending too quickly

Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman - one of the freshest, best takes on WW in forever got derailed by Infinite Crisis and got left with all of its plot dangling
