I'm am a great Doctor Fate fan and have been for quite some time. From the Golden Age storys by Gardner Fox to the most recent reimagination by Steve Gerber Doctor Fate allways was a very interesting character and has shown a wide range of posibilities for magic and human interaction. Doctor Fate has been the inspiration for many other characters, Marvel Dr. Strange beeing just the most famous of them.
For all those reasons I think that Doctor Fate should be one of those characters that deserves to be featured again. The DC Relaunch seems to be the right point for this. Be it as a story in DC Universe Presents, a one-shot or a miniseries, Doctor Fate should be the center of a story again and not just the supporting cast for something like the JSA.
One of the greates Doctor Fate storys where told by a master storyteller who had a great vision for the character of Doctor Fate and the triangle he shared with his host Kent Nelson and his wife Inza. The Immortal Doctor Fate reprints, writen by Martin Pasko are among my most cherrishes comic possessions. So it is only naturally that I would love seeing him have another go at the character.
So, please DC, give Martin Pasko the chance to revive Doctor Fate!
Here is a link to a Facebook discussion that at least has some attention from Dan Didio:

Kent Nelson
Character » Kent Nelson appears in 1182 issues.
When young Kent Nelson was manipulated into killing his father, Sven, during an expedition in Mesopotamia when he unwittingly awoke Nabu from suspected animation, Nabu gifted the young boy with tutelage in the magical arts before gifting him the vestments and Artifacts of Fate. With it, Kent Nelson became known as Doctor Fate, the first of DC's most powerful and premier, heroic legacies of sorcerers, acting as agent for the Lords of Order and host for Nabu.
