Your pick for 3 characters you want to see more of and written better
Characters that never seem to catch a good storyline break and are always written like Shite. Who's your top 3?

Shang Chi The Master of Kung Fu, Prime and Atalon from the old Malibu/Ultraverse comics. I maintain that Atalon is the single most badassed villian ever created.

The Doctor (currently MIA even in Authority, though last issue's cameo was encouraging)
Death's Head II
Kingpin
Fannish, yes, but I just went through my favorite character list and named the ones that are currently not doing anything.

Can I say the entire Justice League?
But, for me:
Dr. Strange (Seriously, Bendis, having him not be Sorceror Supreme after just standing around for ten issues was your "big Dr. Strange storyline?"). Hopefully Mark Waid will fix this.
Wally West (we barely see him anymore)
Thor (nothing has happened in the entire JMS run)

Surfer needs his own comic.

Returned from the death, revived all of Asgard, killed his grandfather and got thrown out of Asgard.
Nothing happened?

Surfer is my joint favourite character of all time, maybe second.
I have all his main comics, but the fact is that it's actually ridiculous to write for him.
Unless someone truly revamps the man's character for once, he's gonna remain a very inaccessible character. Thus his series' will fail always.
He has been reduced to a guest star, which worked in Annihilation, but not really series'.
His last proposed on-going didn't work too well. In Thy Name wasn't great.
That said, get someone great to write him and I'll give it a shot again.

I'd throw in Wally West as a personal pick.

I honestly believe he'd flounder in his own series with the vast majority of writers out there. More appearances in other books and events couldn't hurt though.
Also, Alan Scott needs a better writer. Johns was great for JSA (great), but the heavy hitters suffered more than usual from "I'm on a team" syndrome. Usually writers at least try to rationalize away why the most powerful can't one-shot the problem. Johns just nerfed him into background-art blasts on random villains.

99% of the issues have featured most of the main characters just standing around. It's a comic book- show, don't tell.
I dunno. Some people seem to adore it, but the book just isn't doing it for me. I prefer a Thor more like, say, Simonson's run.
