I would have loved seeing JB on the Hulk for much longer.

I was also a fan of CrossGen and would like to have seen Negation War and some of their other titles given a satisfactory ending.

Me too, not just an unfinished run but an entire unfinished universe of comics.

I'm probably the biggest Negation fan so, yeah, count me in on being disappointed this was never completed as well.

Kesel and Grummett just got a Kickstarter funded to do more Section Zero! New Hardcover coming at the end of the year.

I'd like to see proper conclusions to these: Sonic Disruptors by Mike Baron and Barry Crain (cancelled after 7 of 12 issues), the Shadow by Andy Helfer and Kyle Baker, Electric Warrior by Doug Moench and Jim Baikie, Aztec Ace by Moench and Dan Day (a three-part mini-series by Moench and an new artist named Doug Heinlein was solicited but not published in 1992), Killraven by Don McGregor and P Craig Russell (a final story was plotted and partly written but PCR pulled out becasue Marvel would not promise to publish it in at least as nice a format as Marvel Graphic Novel #7), Sabre: the Decadence Indoctrination by McGregor and Jose Ortiz (who sadly died in 2013), Doctor Strange's bicentennial saga of America's occult history by Steve Englehart and the greatly missed Gene Colan, Muto-Maniac by Pat Mills and Mike McMahon and Detritus Rex by Banx (both from Toxic), the Ballad of Halo Jones by Alan Moore and Ian Gibson, and Thriller by Robert Loren Fleming and Trevor Von Eeden (unsatisfactorily finished by Bill DuBay and Alex Nino).

THE CELESTIAL MADONNA--Steve Englehart's decade-and-company-spanning epic may have been finished at some point, but I didn't see it.  (I believe Marvel did a limited series, but they put such a not-great artist on it, it didn't make a splash and will probably never be collected.)
----------
The limited series Avengers: Celestial Quest by Steve Englehart and Jorge Santamaria (with one issue drawn slightly more attractively by Joe Staton) was collected in 2012.  Does anyone know if Santamaria's splash for #5 has ever been published? Englehart's website says, "because he wasn't raised in America's Puritanical tradition, he did a splash page for #5 that I can't reproduce in a site containing children's stories. (It was replaced in the published version.)"

TYRANT by Stephen Bissette (hopefully coming back
soon...fingers crossed)

JB's LAST GALACTUS STORY. Wouldn't it be great if
they would collect it and hire JB to finish it off???

SIN CITY by Frank Miller. Not really an "incomplete"
series, just something I wish had continued. I
remember sometime in the late 90s/early 2000s Frank
wrote that he had endless Sin City stories to tell and
would be working on them for the rest of his career.
Right around that same time....POOF! It was all
done...

XERXES- Frank's prequel to 300. There was a two page
preview about a decade ago and then....same thing as
Sin City...

David Morris and Dek Baker produced an unofficial conclusion to Kirby's aborted final storyline.

I thought of another one: George Perez's Crimson Plague! I have all 3 of the first 2 issues
------------------------------------------
I would add that t o my list as well. I also enjoyed it enough to all 3 of the first 2 issues

Loved Section Zero, Wallace. Glad that Section Zero is getting completed via Kickstarter. Also loved Crimson Plague, Steven. It would be great if Perez would do more of that and have some sort of conclusion. Seems like it had two aborted attempts so far.

And it was a real shame about the Crossgen stuff. When a company like Crossgen or Valiant goes belly up it leaves a lot of great 
stories/series unfinished.  

And, Joe, I do believe Steve Bissette is currently at work on finishing Tyrant. Also Rick Veitch is starting the next part of Maximortal and Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham are finishing Miracleman. Seems like it's a good time for at least a few unfinished comic series. 

Adam, I'd forgotten about Ellis losing the newuniversal stuff in a computer crash. That almost sounds like the modern version of the dog ate my homework though, doesn't it? :D Why did he never do more Fell or Desolation Jones? I know with the latter it was never as good after, for me anyway, after J.H. Williams 3 quit doing it and was replaced with another artist whose name escapes me. But not sure what happened with Fell.
