A chance to vote for which is your most missed recently canceled comic book title? Guess which band of 30th Century crime fighters is romping away in the lead. Here's the link http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=poll&id=174Please feel free to add your vote. Legion is ahead with over 700 votes when I added mine.

I participated in that poll several days ago and voted for.....Dial H. Honestly, if the question is "which will you miss the most?", I feel it is based the quality of the title. So a vote from me would have been a vote for the poor quality. So I'll miss my beloved Legion but not that title and direction. I've been missing a good Legion book for much longer than a week.......
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I went ahead and voted for LSH. Not because I'll miss this particular title...but because I actually already miss the Legion. This last volume has been a trainwreck, which has only intensified my nostalgia for a well-written Legion book.

Ditto what Paladin said.
For everything that's bad about the new 52, you can't say they haven't been willing to experiment. Dial H was a wonderfully off-beat title, there's only so much a fan can expect a publisher can publish at a loss (I'm assuming it was losing money) if it's not selling.

I am quite happy with my vote for the Legion...its the only comic out of the 13 listed I've ever read. In point of fact the Legion is the only comic book I have read since before 2000.

I was serious about my vote for the Legion because I really wanted to see where Levitz was going with in-story reboot of the Legion. With the title's premature cancellation we'll never find out.

I also went with Dial H. I don't know who reads these, but I wanted to send the message that quality does matter.
First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

whoh whoah WHOAH people. just whoah!
the best thing that can happen to the Legion is to be cancelled and taken out of DC's line of fire for a few years until there is a regime change.
I am happy the Legion has been put to sleep for awhile, hopefully DC won't be able to mutilate it's dead body.

CBR loves every comic book, no matter how bad. I disagree, actually. CBR provides the most numerous and detailed reviews of any professional site I've ever used. Their reviews have lead me to many books I would not have otherwise picked up, and their evaluations of quality are usually dead-on. News-wise, they're no Bleeding Cool. Not even close. But the reviews are top-notch.

As with Mind Bender Boy, I voted for the Legion because I haven't read any of the others. I didn't miss the WRITING in the last issue, certainly, but I have no basis to vote for another title

IB and MBB, I highly recommend you pick up the entire run of Dial H. It's just about the only truly original series published by DC in the past couple of years. I would suggest you read it as one continuous work, though, as the individual issues can be a bit disorienting if you don't have the events of the previous issues fresh in your mind.

Make it 901.
I really liked Dial H and its quality did surpass that of the Legion lately, but honestly, I will miss the Legion more on an emotional level.
Holy Cats of Egypt!

I bought the first issue of Dial-H.....
Then I begged my local comic book dealer to:
A) Never sell me another B) Never sell anyone another C) Burn all copies D) Burn my copy E) Never, ever attempt to sell me any more of it.
Folks, it was awful!!!

I voted for the Legion. Then again, I was missing the Legion well before the cancellation!

Thank you, the Hermit. I'll probably read the first issue and then decide whether I'll pick up the rest. I doubt it'll change my vote though - as with the others, I will definitely miss the Legion more than any other hero or team out there
