I was just reading through some back issues and not so long ago there was a barricade of new stories but they've never returned even though that Synonammonaman women thingy has had three chances!
Here are some examples:
Snow/Tiger = potential, not another story like this in the weekly and i think the art came of the page really well.
Tiger Sun, Dragon Moon = steve parkhouse, why have i never seen his name in 2000ad before. Swords, japan, monsters, action etc. etc. all put together reaallly weell.
Dead Men Walking = Boo Cook really peaked with this. Clearer art than the mutant and Dredd story he did.
Has anyone got any other suggestions?

of the three you name, only Snow/Tiger strikes me as having comeback potential. All were better than Synonamoan for mine.
I think Carver Hale has at least one more story in him. Possibly more.
I wouldn't mind seeing some Lenny Zero stories in 2000AD. I think the character is so good that stories not by the original creators could be alright.

Well Snow/Tiger was kippered when Andy Diggle went off to write the A-Team.
For my money I'd rather see Interceptor revived for a couple of short runs a la Synammmmmmmmmmon.

I really enjoy Simonsynamoon but apart from that I agree they probably could have done something pretty good with Carver Hale given time,and Dead Men Walking was fun.

Yassa Povey would be interesting. John Wagner laughed when I said it but it'd be great to see Crustacia from Helltrekkers again.

Steve Parkhouse did some really good stuff on some of the Luke Kirby stories- dead good that was.

Grudge Father(I know its Millar, but I think some of the better Millar in Tooth just need to find a better artist)
Armoured Gideon because there's always room for bug stompy robots
Tiger Sun Dragon Moon because it really did seem like that was a taster for a longer series

yes I know, I flay myself regularly for enjoying a bit of the Millar, I'll blow you all over with the bit of info that I quite liked Maniac 5 & 6 aswell.
Oh and Ultimates is by far one of the best Super Hero Comics around if that counts.

Armoured Gideon, and any future sport story featuring a Helium Filled Steel Ball.
