Which VH-1 comic book would you like to see stay dead and burried? Why this particular book?

Yeah. I'd have to go with The Suckomancer, too.
Though Psi-Lords gives it a run for it's money.

My thoughts exactly! And hey, Time Walker and The Visitor weren't that bad either! Especially Visitor! A little spit and pollish, and he could be a kick *SQUEE* character!
Archer & Armstrong has got to be the most under rated book in the whole Valiant catalog!

Hmmm. Visitor. It never lived to its potential, and we've moved beyond its need. We know he's really Pete Stanchek and don't really need a replacement Visitor to take his place.

Yes, we know that Pete is the Visitor, but why not bring him back? Get a good writer to do it and have it live up to it's potential! Peter needs no replacement, he can be himself, it would work.

Armorines.
They are just fine for back up characters but do not belong in their own book.
Why's eveyone down on Clay, it wasn't that bad of a book.

Visitor would have worked better as a mini-series.

There are some who have chose Harbinger (even pre-unity).

Pete Stanchek would have to be the Visitor, and the Visitor who was Pete Stanchek died.
The present day Pete was the Harbinger. If anything, relaunch Harbinger as a solo book with Pete, but then you end up turning him into a standard super hero comic where the character wears a spandex suit, which is very un-VALIANT.
(yes, I know the Harbinger kids wore spandex, but those were altered training uniforms that they wore because they were teens having fun playing super hero, specially Faith).

I think every post-unity title should be discarded, with the possible exceptions of Time Walker and Bloodshot. Doctor Mirage could work well as a television series, but just doesn't interface well with the comic book medium.
Of the pre-Unity titles, I'd be the last one to cheer for Shadowman to return. I just never got into it. All the other pre-Unity titles really gripped me in a way that has yet to be duplicated.

No one has mentioned this one yet but I'd go for............Destroyer
Actually I'd rather never see Deathmate again, but I'm not sure if those books qualify here.

If Destoyer counts that would be my vote (but since only a 0 issue was published it wasn't really a title).
Barring that, my "please don't come back" vote would be a tie between the Visitor and the 2nd version of Secret Weapons.

I agree with Destroyer, but that's a given considering he is a second version of Solar and the new owners don't have the rights.
Come on, you all know you loved Destroyer! It was the Dolph Lundgren Rocky IV Hair do!

you all should give dr mirage some more credit. It was a great book, one of my favorite from the valiant universe!
i'd love to see it in print again.
