Characters who should get ongoings

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.

The Thing- Deserves another ongoing series

thats about it i can think of.

sentry.

It is Marvel's only hope to actually write him as what they promote him to be

Mr Terrible

I'm with you with Deathstroke but I never got the annuals though...

I would say

Black Adam w/ Isis.

and I would very much like DC to either launch an ongoing series for Sgt. Rock or bring back The Losers.

Gambit-with whats been going on in his life lately and how his enigmatic life works you know you wana see more of this guy in his own again

Sentry-obvious reasons

Agent Orange-i wana see the greedy f*ck take on more people

all i can think of

Nearly any character that is written properly.

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.

Quasar
Shatterstar
Captain Comet
X-man
Ion/Kyle

Captain Marvel.
Richard Dragon.

I see how it is Bada 🙁

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.

Bonus feature: M.O.D.O.K. 😱

Strange might, depending on his mini

Surfer should be on top of the list.

After him, maybe it's time Cyclops had another mini?
