8 Awesome Comics That Were Unbelievably Cancelled

7. DC's All-Star Comics

All-Star Batman & Robin was a grotty comic that just shouldn't have been in the first place. All-Star Superman, on the other hand, couldn't be further apart from that other series, with Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's story about the Man of Tomorrow also being a man out of time now considered to be one of the best comics of the modern age.

Much like DC Black Label, DC's All-Star banner seemingly suffered from a lack of identity, but it still had promise. If its only goal was to unite top talent to deliver their own take on given character - which seemed to be the case with the comics the publisher had planned - then it could've easily worked. Further forays into the banner were ultimately shelved however, despite the fact that the three planned additions all sounded particularly exciting.

First up was All-Star Batgirl, which was going to take place in a different continuity to Frank Miller and Jim Lee's Batman. Geoff Johns was set to handle writing duties, while famed artist J. G. Jones was tapped to be the artist. It was announced and... nothing ever happened.

After that was All-Star Wonder Woman, which would've seen fan-favourite artist Adam Hughes given complete control to tell his own story about DC's most famous Amazon. The comic just never materialised, with Hughes stating in 2010 that it was on the back-burner.

Lastly was All-Star Green Lantern, a comic that would've focussed on the John Stewart version of the character. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were tapped to write and pencil respectively, but it just never materialised.
