The Question is back to being a full-time hero, providing a thrilling experience for fans of mystery. Animal Man has the freedom to venture into the most unusual parts of the DC Universe with a bold creative team. The lingering mystery surrounding Firestorm will finally be resolved, marking an exciting comeback for a hero who deserves more recognition. Image
There are many incredible DC heroes currently featured in books, but these 10 heroes absolutely deserve their own new series. With 2023 behind us, it's time to take a look at which DC heroes are long overdue for a comeback. DC Comics' year-long Dawn of DC initiative showcased numerous unique heroes, but there are still plenty of deserving heroes who haven't had their own series in a while. Here are 10 heroes who deserve a new series in 2024.
10 The Question is Ready for a Full-Time Return to Heroism Last series: GCPD: The Blue Wall (2022-2023)
Renee Montoya took over as the new Question after the previous Question, Victor Sage. She put her vigilantism on hold to become the Commissioner of the GCPD, but she has not given up on being a hero. Renee has recently appeared as the Question in Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn #1 and Detective Comics #1080. A new series featuring Renee's return to her Question identity full-time would be a treat for mystery fans.
9 Animal Man Can Embrace DC's Weirdest Side Last series: Animal Man (2011-2014)
Animal Man has the ability to take on the powers of any animal connected to the Red, the life force of all animal life. His previous series have been dark, unconventional, and well-received. Though he had a small cameo in the "Beast World" crossover, Animal Man has not been given the chance to shine recently. Now is the perfect time to bring back Animal Man to explore the oddest parts of the DC Universe, especially with a creative team unafraid to experiment.
Legion of Super-Heroes (2020-2021)
The Legion of Super-Heroes has always been a staple of the DC Universe, showcasing a diverse and interconnected future world. With the recent reboot and reorganization of the DC Universe, the Legion can play a crucial role in shaping the future of the universe. Their stories can explore new possibilities and potential storylines that can have a lasting impact on the DC Universe. It's time for the Legion of Super-Heroes to make a comeback and help shape the future of DC Comics.
Legion of Super-Heroes (2020-2021)
The Legion of Super-Heroes is a complex and iconic group in DC mythology, representing the heroes of the 31st century. However, due to changes in the DC Universe's timeline, it has been challenging to maintain a consistent presence for the Legion. With DC's current approach to canon, the time is ripe for a new and interesting Legion series, especially with the recent focus on Brainiac. Bringing back the Legion and its core member Brainiac 5 would be timely and engaging.
Previous Series: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2021-2022)
While the Super-Family has seen a resurgence in books such as Superman, Action Comics, Superboy: Man of Tomorrow, and Power Girl, Supergirl has been noticeably absent from her own series. Despite one-shot specials and appearances in other titles, Kara Zor-El deserves a dedicated book to explore her journey and differentiate herself from other Kryptonian heroes.
Previous Series: Aquaman: Andromeda (2022)
Despite the recent debut of a new Aquaman film, there has been a lack of an Aquaman book in 2023. With the potential for new storylines and the recent developments with the Trench, a new Aquaman series could provide a fresh and engaging storyline for the character and put him back in the spotlight.
Zatanna's magical adventures would be a blast for all fans. Despite a brief appearance in DC's 2023 event Knight Terrors, she hasn't had a leading role since her 2010-2011 series. Zatanna's recent two-issue miniseries proved she's ready for her own ongoing series, showcasing her creativity and power. Bringing back Robotman from Doom Patrol as a supporting character could continue her 'Hex and Violence' theme.
The world is in need of the Justice League now more than ever. After stepping down in the aftermath of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Titans have struggled to fill their shoes and are about to face backlash for the events of "Beast World". With crises facing the DC Universe, including the government targeting the Amazons and revelations from Superman's past, the Justice League is needed to unite and weather the storms threatening their lives. Out of all the deserving heroes in the DC Universe, these 10 need a new series in 2024.
