Did it have potential ? Is there even a place for a military-type comic in DC ?

There used to be a ton of military comics in DC.

Absolutely. Especially once Mother Machine showed up.
I do think there's a place for a good war comic in DC, but the problem is that pretty much nobody in their stable right now has any real experience writing war comics. Which is why their previous attempts went from wobbly, awkward war with superheroes (Men of War) to more spy thriller with superpowers (GI Combat). They need someone passionate about war comics who can find a good way to organically fit them into a world of superheroes. Best case scenario would be Ennis but there's no way you could convince him to get on board with that for all the Guinness in Ireland. Maybe get Joshua Dysart or Larry Hama to do a Human Defense Corps series, something like that.

I wouldn't be really interested in a war comic unless you go full EDF cheese, singing as they fight Parademons with tanks.
I think some sort of spec ops unit would work better, working behind the scenes to do stuff like intercept a shipment of freshly found kryptonite or stopping Joker's goons from stealing a nuke.

Eh, that was a weird move. Making the Blackhawks into GI Joe sucked when they did it the first time around. Dunno why they wanted to do it again.

The cool thing about a spec ops book would be that you'd have the best of the best of the best, and they'd *still* be the underdogs in anything involving superpowers. It was what made Men of War interesting, but that book was shit because it couldn't decide on a tone, severely underdeveloped its characters and made them mostly passive/powerless observers to the crazy shit going around them.
It's why I'd like to get Larry Hama in on it. Nobody writes character interaction in a military unit quite like he does and he can do sci-fi combat really well too.

It was fun, but I'm sure people would have appreciated classic Blackhawks more.

>still no digital reprints of classic Sgt. Rock

Nothing's ever easy in Easy. Even reprints.

In fact, why the fuck does DC refuse to reprint based Kubert? I'm also still waiting for Kubert Hawkman!

Every quality character but plastic man is in the public domain.
