10 Beloved DC Comics Due For A Comeback

Voodoo is most likely the weirdest and least recognizable book on the list. It is a comic about a black stripper, originally written by Alan "I Wrote Everything" Moore, and eventually rebooted as part of the original DC New 52 run.

DC has a hard time having interesting superheroines, especially ones who aren't white. Even when they have a famous WoC heroine, they typically forget and make her white enough that people think Michelle Pfeiffer should play her.

Unlike all of DC's other big superheroes, Voodoo is someone who is overtly marginalized, in multiple different ways. She reflects the readership of DC more than Superman, and just as much as Jimmy Olsen. The fact that her last series was during the ill-timed, poorly thought-out New 52 is heartbreaking since characters as popular as Batmite, Prez, and Talon have all had their own series since then. (If you recognized any of those characters, welcome nerd. You're home.)

Voodoo has the potential to be one of the more interesting and unique characters, if given to the right creator - probably a woman, a black woman, one who has sex work experience. If DC ever decides to hire any of the very smart writers who already meet that criteria then it would have a hit on its hands.
