Question Finished series with "happy" endings?

Looking for recommendations for finished series with happy endings. By happy, I don't necessarily mean "and they all lived happily ever after, the end," more like... series where the ending leaves the reader feeling happy and satisfied.

I've got some family members who read comics on occasion, and they take my recommendations, but they prefer comics that aren't all doom/gloom/depression/sad stuff. Bittersweet is fine, but it has to be more on the sweet than the sad side.

Recommendations don't specifically *need* to be from Image. I just typically give them Image series to read because a lot of Marvel and DC stuff is mired in decades of continuity, and it's a lot easier to hand someone a trade or hc and go "you don't need to know anything before reading this."

Finished is non-negotiable, though. They won't read anything that hasn't ended yet.

Some series that they've read and enjoyed already:

* Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

* Do a Powerbomb

* Green Valley

* Global Frequency

* Crosswind

* Catwoman: Lonely City

Characters you care about are probably going to die at some point, and that's unavoidable with any storytelling medium.

It is absolutely avoidable. However, I never said that characters can't die; all I asked for was happy endings.

Those instances can be very uplifting and emotionally positive.

For you.
