9 Comic Book TV Shows That Were Canceled Way Too Soon

Right now, we have an abundance of comic book TV shows to keep us busy. Some of them are really good, such as The Gifted, while others are rapidly plummeting in quality, like The Walking Dead. Nonetheless, if you’re a comic book fan, you’re certainly spoilt for choice in this day and age.

The entertainment industry isn’t always fair, though, and we’ve seen a whole bunch of impressive comic book shows get canceled when we felt like they were only getting started. Sometimes, no matter how much we support a show and tell all our friends about it, the wider audience doesn’t get behind it and the execs kick it to the curb.

As such, we’ve gone back in time and selected nine comic book series that got canceled too soon. Before you ask why Joss Whedon’s Firefly isn’t on this list, please remember that it was an original creation not based on a comic book property – the comic book series only came after the show.

Also, as always, these things are rather subjective, so if you agree or disagree with any of the shows mentioned, drop us a comment and let us know your thoughts.

With that out of the way, let’s take a trip down memory lane as we remember some classics from the yesteryear.
