Name Your Obscure Defunct ComicBook Here

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Self-explanatory title. All you gotta do is think up the most obscure now-dead comicbook you actually read more than 2 issues of. It has to be the kind of comicbook you're pretty sure nobody in their right mind would ever think to be reading, even at a very young age where everything seemed great.

Here's my submission: CyberRad.

Here's two that I collected the entire runs of...

This is probably the most obscure book, but it was really good. I'd still be reading it if it was not defunct.

Loved that series. I really wish the whole thing would be collected.

My pick:

I have these as well. Marvel got away with murder in the early 90's.

I freaking loved that series. Very well done.

How about:

I really liked almost all of the Continuity characters. Too bad they went south and nobody bought the characters.

Edit: Other favorite from Continuity, the brothers Armor and Silver Streak

BTW - I have owned or at least read all of the titles mentioned so far. :laugh:

I always felt that marvels Damage control was their attempt at copying DC JLI "funny book" style

irredeemable ant man

he killed his friend, knocked up some chick on a one nght stand, maimed a guys face. the ultimate prick.
somehow he joined the avengers but i never read about it once his book was done.

Dammit, the first couple of Damage Control limited series were great. It was a relatively unique concept and one that had a ton of potential. I think it would be a great series now and actually pretty much the only thing at Marvel that Bendis SHOULD be writing.

[TheMojoPin]

This series was outstanding. I still hate that it was cancelled:

Was it cancelled? My memory's hazy but I thought it was never supposed to be an ongoing series, but bigger than a mini-series.

[TheMojoPin]

I believe it's technically on "hiatus."

Ugh. So bad.

I enjoyed the 90's run on The Demon that Ennis did.

Fuck yes.

[Section 8]

I haven't collected comics for a few years now, but I read on Marvel's website that there's been a couple of Mini series with Darkhawk in it that are not bad a bad read at all: War of Kings:Ascension and War of Kings: Darkhawk. I might go and pick these up.

[SHANEFROMGA]

i can't remember the exact title, but it was like "superpowered teenagers must die".
it was a b/w indie comic that was pretty damn good.
