10 Best Comics Cancelled Before Their Time
7. Justice Society Of America
The Justice Society of America was a prominent superhero team for DC Comics in the Pre-Crisis continuity, but following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the group went missing. In 1991, they were brought back in a miniseries written by Len Strazewski. The success of those books helped launch an entirely new series in 1992.
In the new Justice Society of America, the heroes of old are forced to adjust to their new lives in the modern DC Universe, which proved rather difficult. Ultimately, they worked together to get through their transition to become the heroes they once were.
The only problem was the simple fact that the heroes seemed out of place and unnecessary within the overall world of the DC Universe. This was an attempt to return the Golden Age to the Bronze Age, and it didn't work very well with the modern audience.
While the art by Mike Parobeck and Mike Machlan looked incredible, and Strazewski's writing was top-notch, the series just couldn't achieve the same level of success as the Justice League and other superhero teams the publisher had out at the time. It was canceled after only three books, but ultimately saw the publication of 12 complete issues.
