We'll start with DC.
The Dibnys
Ralph and Sue Dibny, sharp tongued, fun-loving private eyes in the afterlife. They operate out of Purgatory, a trans-dimensional city that serves as a way station for the recently deceased as they await trial to determine what afterlife they'll proceed to, and is administrated by various deceased B to D-listers from the DCU. The city is constructed from pieces of various cities throughout time. The administrative hub of the city resembles Prohibition-era New York (thereby bringing the Dibnys back to their Thin Man roots and giving an excuse for smoky back rooms and fedoras and trenchcoats). As private investigators in the employ of the city, the Dibnys are two of the few souls who have license to travel between the world of the living and the cities of the dead. The series is identified by relatively light-hearted romps through the edges of the DCU that allow a spotlight on characters who are off the table for the mainstream DCU because of death.
Batman T.I.P. (Trial in Purgatory
With the streets of Purgatory flooded by the refugee souls of Earth-51 (an idyllic Earth where superheroes had retired, in large part because of Batman's rampage following Jason Todd's death, it was destroyed in Countdown), Purgatory faces the trial of a century. This Earth's Batman is finally facing trial for the Rogue Mass Murders of Gotham City, and dozens of his most terrible foes are being shuttled in from hell to testify against him. But the Dibnys suspects the rogues may be plotting a scheme to bring Hell to Purgatory. Plus, Ralph Dibny and Sue Dibny meet.... Ralph Dibny and Sue Dibny. Who's Nose Knows Best?
Jean Loring, Murderer?
With Jean Loring finally freed of Eclipso and her mortal coil, Sue Dibny finally has the opportunity to come face to face with her murderer. But in a world where telepathic control and mind-wipes are par for the course, can she be held accountable for her crimes? The Dibnys intend to find an answer, an answer hidden deep in the heart of the villainous Society.
The Mistrial of the Blue Beetle
The Blue Beetle makes a return to Purgatory after a series of time-hopping adventures with Booster Gold, only to stand under judgment of the Purgatory courts again for the exact trial he faced over a year ago. But the defense argues a mistrial, claiming the same man can't stand trial for the exact same death twice. Will Ted Kord get a second chance at life due to a technicality? Plus, together again: The Elongated Man, Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Martian Manhunter, Red Rocket, and... Maxwell Lord? It's a JLI reunion in Purgatory.
Flash in the Pen
The former Flash known as Bart Allen died over a year ago, but his soul has yet to make the transit to Purgatory for afterlife processing, and the Dibnys have been tasked with serving him his papers. But this time they have competition. Fellow investigator Vic Sage is hot on Allen's trail, and he suspects an epic conspiracy at the heart of the former Flash's truancy, a conspiracy that spans space and time.

And I like the idea of Dr. Light as the resident metaforensics expert, but apparently she's not dead? Think you could kill her sometime soon, Didio?
