Loki's post from yesterday reminded me of a similar thought I had a while back. I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of comic titles that were announced but never came to be. I'll use the first post to create a full list.
Here are the rules:
Okay to include info on multiple titles in one post
Evidence welcomed but okay to go by memory
Titles that were proposed and even greenlit but never announced don't count. We don't want this list to get out of hand. In other words, no mention of a title in an interview after the fact unless there was also a formal annoiucement beforehand.
Conversely, material intended for a title but published elsewhere is fine.
I might expand this later. but for now include only titles that never made it to #1, as opposed to later issues of an existing series that abruptly got cancelled.
Annuals and Specials related to an existing ongoing okay as long as they don't violate the above rule. In other words, treat them as a separate series from the parent title.
No announcements that later proved to be bogus, be it April Fool's or whatever. There has to have been an actual intent to publish the material.
One shots, limited series, and ongoings are all fine.

List so far:
Crisis of the Soul (aka Crisis on Captive Earth) (DC) (Limited series)
JLA/Avengers (DC/Marvel) (one-shot?)
Marvel Census (Marvel) (Limited series or one-shot)
The Official Handbook of the Avengers Universe (Marvel) (Limited series)
The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Appendix (Limited series or one-shot)
The Official Handbook of the X-Men Universe (Marvel) (Limited series)
Vixen (DC) (Ongoing) (material intended for Vixen #1 appeared in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #2)
