I was looking at pinkfloydsound17 review about Omega and was wondering , of all the series that weren't finished which one did you like the best? I mean series that had a comic volume that weren't finished in THAT particular comic. There are instances where a particular storyline was completed in another book and some that were never addressed again. I feel that some of those books take on a legendary , cult like status. There were also some books that were left on a cliff hanger, you choose which one was your favorite. |

I don't really consider Warlock v. 1 unfinished, and question its inclusion here. Sure, the actual series was cancelled, but Starlin was able to bring the story to what I thought was a satisfying conclusion soon afterward in Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel 2-in-1 Annual #2.

I was enjoying the Erik Larsen Supreme. I also wished JMS would have completed his Supreme Power run that abruptly ended.

The very first volume went from Marvel Premiere 1,2 to Warlock 1-8 and was actually ended on a cliffhanger. I didn't really include or think about Warlock 9-15. Maybe I can include it. |

Went other for Kirby's Eternal's and Machine Man both being cut short.
Also would like to have seen what Blackwulf by Herdling and Medina would have been like given time to grow.

The Firestorm one is a major disappointment when it's ended so sudden and I was so mad that I didn't see the end of it.

The only one of these I have read is The Last Galactus Story. (I've read a bit of Warlock's story in reprints but not enough to get a handle on the whole thing.)
For "other" would add Gerber and Mayerik's Void Indigo. I know it's not well-loved, but I found it intriguing.

It would be Eternals for me of books from the big publishers. There'a couple of smaller indy books that never got finished that I wish had been too (Grimoire form Speakeasy about 10 years ago stands out), some of the Atlas/Seaboard books I really dug but the line died before resolution on any of them, same with some of the DC sword & sorcery/science and sorcery titles like Stalker and Starfire, and their sci-fi title Star Hunters were annoying because they never got a chance to finish. Of course that's the danger in reading the more obscure, offbeat books that I do.

Other: Marvel's post-adaptation of the movie Logan's Run; starting with issue #6, the series attempted to move beyond the film, but its been said the licensing rates swelled thanks to CBS/MGM-TV developing the short-lived Logan's RunTV series, so it was unceremoniously cancelled with issue 7, just as the post movie plot was moving well.

This was the first thing that popped into my mind. Also ... Big Numbers! But on further reflection, the story I would most like to see finished is the rather complicated storyline that was running in The Secret Society of Super-Villains and also was crossing over with the Freedom Fighters where one branch of the SSOSV (The Wizard, Star Sapphire, Blockbuster, the Floronic Man and Professor Zoom) had gone to Earth-2 to take on the members of the JSA one at a time, and another branch (Killer Moth, Quake-Master, Chronos and some others) had been hired by the Silver Ghost to kill the Freedom Fighters. Several unpublished stories were included in a SSOSV hardcover reprint, but the conclusions were probably never even scripted. The Wizard's group was brought to justice by the JLA (even though scant details were given of their Earth-2 adventures) in JLA around #166 and #167 (I think), which I re-read fairly recently, but I don't think there's ever been much attention given to the Freedom Fighters part of it. |

I clicked Omega, thinking it was one of those polls where you could make more than one pick. My others would be the New Gods and the Eternals; if I had to make it just one, I might go with the Eternals since that one seems to receive even less appreciation from creators than the others.

Lots of good suggestions here. I particularly second the Logan's Run series (I bought all the back issues and had them bound regardless of the unfinished story arc).
Another that comes to mind is the obscure indie SF comic from the early '80s, Ismet, starring the titular anthropomorphic dog and his other animal buddies (don't call them funny!) who are resisting the tyranny of the evil Humes. Only 5 issues were ever published, and then it, and it's creator apparently, just disappeared...
