Obviously there are plenty of characters who warrent having a ongoing series about them, but if you could choose two characters to star in a brand new monthly series, who would they be and why? Feel free to add who you would like to have write/illustrate, too!
#1: Captain Marvel/Shazam Ongoing: DC has done nothing noteworthy with the Marvels for a few years now. Freddy is the new Shazam and has done...what exactly? The recent Black Adam arc in JSA gives me hope that perhaps DC will relaunch the PoS series with Billy Batson as the primary character. It's cool to hear about Morrison taking on a Shazam project, but I'd much rather see it take place in New Earth continuity rather than some multiverse stuff. A Geoff Johns/Alex Ross combo would be amazing, IMO.
#2: Deathstroke: Having recently purchased the full run of Deathstroke the Terminator (annuals included), I've been hooked. It kinda sucks to see a very morally complex and challenged anti-hero get reverted to a typical villain in DC, but hey, them's the breaks. If Wolfman ever did a Deathstroke series or even a limited run on it, I'd be happy.
At the very least, a Shazam! title where all the main characters - Billy, Freddy, Mary, Adam & the Wizard - share time.
Deathstroke had his title at one time, but he's a difficult character to have sympathy for sometimes. And he's not a loony like Deadpool so we don't get the outrageous funny stuff Wade goes through. You have to have him be dealing with people that make him look good by comparison - that's how Dr. Doom got through his 2099 title.

Namor without any doubt. He works best with people since he's not likely to have any "rogue" that is half interesting. If not a Series on his own he should be leader of one of the four Avenger teams running around, he deserves to be with the best.
GL Kyle: I think that Kyle should take his own mantle instead of being just the second green lantern. Maybe something really cosmic, or multiversy.
