    Five Ghosts
    - beautiful colors and a very cool premise.

    Zero
    - gets some attention from loyal fans. Different teams of creators may hurt its staying power.

    Shutter
    - in a world where Pretty Deadly, Saga & Rat Queens get all the critical praise, this one may get swept under the rug unfortunately. Great old school indie art.

    I'd say Clone, Savage Dragon, and Spawn. Talk about "what goes up...."

    Despite the fact there are a lot of girls doing Cassie Hack cosplay on Deviant Art, I still think Hack/Slash didn't get the love it deserved. It sold rather well when it moved to Image but it should have sold a lot better in my opinion since it was a unique title. There aren't any other comics I know of out there that feature a "final girl" hunting slashers. Some compared H/S to Buffy but that comparison was bullshit. Sure, Buffy hunted monsters but Buffy was always heavy on the romance, and was primarily marketed to young women and the levity in the show and comic was so PC it hurt. H/S was very loyal to the slasher genre, the levity wasn't pc, it had a fair share of t&a, and very little romance, it was mostly just a very fun violent comic with a solid story that progressed very nicely.

    I think it's a shame Tim ended it as early as he did. He never planned to make it an infinite title but it could have easily gone on for another 20-30 issues at least without an issue.

    Maybe the new mini will open the door to a new monthly.

    I'm currently loving the hell of of Aphrodite IX. Shutter just started, but it's already weird as all hell and I love the weird. Tim Seeley's run on Bloodstrike was amazing but never talked about. And I have to second Spawn: after Hine's run, the Jim Downing reboot was really needed. I'm way behind because I trade wait, but even though nothing ever actually happens in McFarlane's writing, I still greatly enjoy it.
    I still miss Renee Montoya. Oh, and I'm a dude.

    I would say Five Ghosts. There has almost been a full year's worth of issues, and every single one of them has been great.

    I would also go with Mercenary Sea. Never hear anything said about it, but it's one of my favorite books.

    Ghosted and Mind the Gap. Great writing, and Mind the Gap in particular has beautiful art.

    Prophet, Zero, Alex + Ada, Think Tank, and EGOs (no one mentioned this?) off the top of my head.

    Agree entirely. Only two issues are out, to be fair, but they were both excellent.

    Ah, Bedlam! The first arc in particular I find criminally overlooked.

    My understanding is that it is NOT cancelled, and Nick Spencer does plan on continuing the series, but given his current and upcoming output, it may take a while for the next one to be released. Sad, but there it is.
