User blog comment:Jamie/Episode 10 - Cancelled Comics Cavalcade/@comment-1671874-20140611165723

ah! I thought you meant these episodes were cancelled!!

Well here's a few of my fav series that were cut too short:


 * New X-Men. One of my favorite series out there, probably only behind Uncanny X-Force. And while Uncanny X-Force was the definitive run, and had a conclusive and strong ending to the series, stories, and characters, New X-Men never did in my opinion. Whereas another fav of mine, X-Force, was cut short by Second Coming, New X-Men was cut short by Messiah Complex and I still have yet to see most of these characters handled properly since.

I'm happy Elixir and Wither were spotlighted in X-Force. I'm proud of Prodigy moving to the Young Avengers. Rockslide and Anole have done decently well elsewhere too. Pixie and X-23 have only gone up. But the rest have just been background characters ever since. Mercury just shows up as an easy silver character to draw in the background, Dust an easy character to show in her burqa, Surge with her blue hair, and now Hellion with his missing hands. Not to mention we haven't seen Elixir since Necrosha..


 * Speaking of series canceled thanks to events, District X and Excalibur were both fun series that focused on a lot of newere, smaller mutants. I greatly enjoyed both, but they both unfortunately rendered useless following M-Day.


 * Weapon X was another fun series that spotlighted some of the best criminally under-used mutants (and others!) out there. Mesmero, Sauron, Agent Zero, Kane, Washout, and Fantomex (at the time, mind you). It also gave a new light to characters with recently(ish) canceled series of their own, including: Marrow, Wild Child, Aurora, Sabretooth, Domino, Cable, Boom Boom, and Chamber. It had cameos galore, including: Random, Diamond Lil, Tar Baby, Maggott, Ape, Siena Blaze, and more. Even if most of those ones died, at least we had the chance to see them one last time. Plus, this seires played heavily on Mr. Sinister, my favorite X-villain. Throw in some X-Men and Wolverine for good measure, and yet somehow this seires still didn't last long enough.


 * X-Treme X-Men and X-Force are two more series I don't have time to get into.


 * oh, and Bendis' run on Moon Knight was an insanely under-appreciated run that was cut far too short. fin.
