* [[Characters/BatmanHuntress ''The Huntress'']] created by Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton. It introduced Helena Bertinelli as the Huntress. It had compelling stories, interesting new characters and a revamped origin story. She wasn’t drawn as an anatomically impossible woman, and wore a more sensible costume. The art work by Staton gave a gritty feel to the stories.

* Kurt Busiek's ''Avengers'' run in the late 90s deserves to be given more love and attention. He got to work with a murderer's row of artists, like George Perez, Paul Ryan, Jerry Ordway, and Alan Davis. The stories were fun, and Busiek's usage of past continuity is inspiring.

* The first Jaime Reyes ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'' run was really well written other than the first few issues. The main complaint was the undignified death of former Blue Beetle Ted Kord in a completely different title (Jaime's own series gave Ted big props). It was cancelled due to low sales but hopefully enough people buying the back issues will bring it back.

* ''ComicBook/{{Gambit}}: House of Cards''. Despite being one of the biggest {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s in ''ComicBook/XMen'', everybody's favorite card-throwing Cajun seems to have a hard time getting successful solo series. Which is a shame, because the six-part "House of Cards" (the first story arc in his short-lived 2005 solo comic) is one of the most unabashedly fun X-Men stories out there. It covers the Ragin' Cajun returning to his roots as a thief in New Orleans during a break from the X-Men, and getting roped into a web of supernatural intrigue after he's hired to steal a deck of powerful Tarot cards from a wealthy local sorcerer. There's plenty of action and surprises to go around, but the real treat here is the cast; with the X-Men gone ([[spoiler:save for a pretty memorable cameo from ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}]]), the series fills in the gaps with its own supporting cast drawn from the seedy New Orleans underworld, managing some impressive world-building in a limited space. There's the GentlemanWizard Morgan Penrose, Penrose's manipulative sexpot niece Lily, Remy's CoolOldGuy pal Dan Down ([[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane who may or may not receive supernatural messages from playing cards]]), the sassy fortune-teller[=/=]master hacker Madame Camille d'Aubigne, the fish-faced mutant hitman Alphonse, the mutant crime lord Orlean Cooper ([[spoiler:who is secretly a demon]]), and Remy's brutal [[TheRival rival]] "Fast Jack" Jessup; all of them play their own vital roles in the plot, culminating in a climax worthy of Creator/RaymondChandler. Sadly, the next two story arcs in the series are pretty forgettable, but "House of Cards" is still well worth a read if you can track down a copy of the trade.
