What unfinished book or comics series do you most want to see resolved?

Posted by Rich in Books & Comics

We all love a big, epic story, arcing over many books or comics. Unfortunately, they don't always get finished, and even when they do, they may not wrap up every little story they started telling; side characters can get forgotten, loose ends remain loose.

We want to know your biggest unresolved stories from the world of books and comics (no movies, games, or anything else, though we all know they share this problem). Share them here in writing or video and tell us a little about what went wrong and why you'd like to see things concluded.

Remember to keep it civil: no name-calling and no vitriol to the author or any other individual (it may not even be their fault). The best 20 submissions get $1 apiece!

Task: Tell us which unresolved plots or stories across books and comics you most want to see concluded

It has to be the game of throne books by George R.R Martin. I absolutely loved the TV show but was really disappointed by the ending. Its been a while now and I really hope he puts pen to paper and finishes some of the original endings because if he does not his imagination will get lost to time! He's pretty old at the minute and we have all been waiting long enough! A long thought out book for the ending would do a lot better than the rushed storylines in the final couple of episodes

Brandon Sanderson and The Stormlight archives

I really enjoy Brandon Sanderson's books and I have read and enjoyed the first 3 books of the Stormlight archives but with the first book of this series was released in 2010 and only being 3 books into this 10 book saga 14 years later and with Sanderson's also working on other books in his popular Mistborn series it make you wonder if this series will ever get finished. Part of the problem is that it's probably to much work than Sanderson can handle or maybe the series will get finished in another 30-40 years time.

"Berserk" by Kentaro Miura.

If i'm not mistaken, this dark fantasy began in 1989, my earlest manga dated 1991. Sadly, Miura's sudden passing in May 2021 left the series incomplete, with fans around the world expressing their hope for a continuation or conclusion of the Guts' epic journey

there is a light novel that's been on hiatus for a few years since it's latest volume, The Rising of the Shield Hero. the latest one ended on a cliffhanger and there hasn't been any news about it, the japanese version of the latest one released was i think in 2018, some say that the author is busy working on the side story novel. well, there is a web novel for it, but the plot diverges so much that im tired to re-read it again. i need it

The Kingkiller Chronicles - Patrick Rothfuss really does need to work more on this series. I know that in the initial book he laid out a plan which was ambitious and perhaps unattainable, but there is nothing holding him to the initial commitment of making the whole story fit into 3 tellings. It has been 13 years since the previous book was released, and 17 years since the one before. It would be criminal to leave the series unfinished. I honestly think that he should be imprisoned with a typewriter and not released until the book is. The story, and the novellas set in the same world, are amazing. I know that expectations are high, but I would rather him meet any level of expectation rather than simply to abandon the series. This is truly one of the most frustrating things I've come across in literature. The George RR Martin effect is not a good one. Please in the name of all things holy (and unholy if that is what it takes) publish the next volume, and the next and the next and the next if that is what it takes. I do not care if a trilogy was promised, Douglas Adams published a trilogy, and now that trilogy is up to 6 volumes (and 1 of those was published 8 years after his death by a different author, not that I'm suggesting Rothfuss do the same) so clearly trilogy can be a flexible term. Please, I beg you, publish something, anything.
