10 Best Comics Cancelled Before Their Time

10. Chase

Chase was a series launched in 1998 by Dan Curtis Johnson with pencils provided by J. H. Williams III. The series revolved around Cameron Chase, an agent of the Department of Extranormal Operations, which was tasked with monitoring superhuman threats to national security in the United States.

Basically, it was a cross between the X-Files, the Department of Paranormal Activity, and S.H.I.E.L.D. all rolled up in one. Chase was an agent who had a considerable distrust of superhumans seeing as her father was one, but was killed while she was still a young girl.

The series was well-written and beautifully illustrated, but one of the key features was that it centered around a female lead, with the character of Cameron Chase being well structured and fascinating.

Ultimately, the series failed to find an audience. Only nine issues of the main run were published with a 10th issue tying into the DC One Million storyline. That issue won the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Story back in 1999, which just goes to show how well-written Chase was.

The series has since been collected in a graphic novel, and Cameron Chase has appeared in other media including issues within The New 52, DC Rebirth, Smallville Season 11, and the television series Supergirl.
