Well, since this IS a Green Lantern forum, I think I'd have to say....
GREEN LANTERN CORPS QUARTERLY!!!
I mean, the new GLC book is alright, but frankly, GLCQ was vastly superior! It took the neat little "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" back-up stories from the '80s and essentially moved them into their own book! Besides giving us new and interesting characters like Jack T. Chance and Ash, it was also used to give us regular new stories featuring fan-favorite supporting cast characters like Alan Scott and G'nort!
The ONLY thing that sucked about it was the long wait between issues, with only 4 issues a year. But each and every issue was worth the wait... even if they DID make us wait nearly 2 years before giving into the overwhelming fan demand for more adventures of Jack T. Chance!
But alas, then-GL-Editor Kevin "the Dickhead" Dooley decided he needed to anally rape the Corps and its mythology in the name of increasing sales, so he killed the book after the events of "Emerald Twilight".
Frankly, when I heard that there was a new GL Corps book on the way, I got excited as hell, hoping that we'd get a book like GLCQ. So far, this new title has yet to live up to the standards of its predecessor.
I'm not sure it is really a legitimate comparison. The two are very different TYPES of titles, one with an ongoing storyline, the other an anthology series.
That said, GLCQ would be my pick as well. At least if we are talking about the title I would most like to have back.
I regret the cancellation of Mosaic the most, but I think the ship has long since sailed on that one, and I don't think I'd WANT it to come back at this point, since I don't think it COULD, not in the same way I originally enjoyed it. That potential has all been hopelessly squandered at this point.
But GLCQ could EASILY fit right back in to the GL lineup, and provide what I am missing at this point. Interesting, more in-depth looks at some of the fascinating alien GLs out there, in stand alone stories that don't have to fit into some complex master storytelling plan.

....it's going back a ways but.......Darkhawk,
I used to read lots of Darkhawk years ago. It was actually the first comic I picked up consistently. Normally I would buy anything at random only getting later issues to finish up story arcs. But I missed that title after marvel cancelled it.
