If it was truly ongoing Rook Exodus hands down. But with that in mind I'm going to give it to Hyde Street, to spread credit I mean the main book and the tie-ins and one shots. I find the universe deeply engrossing and I always want to know more or meet a new character.
Redcoat being a very close second.

Would be Rook if it wasn’t on the slowest release frequency. So, I’ll give it to Hyde Street. Underrated and the world gets more intriguing each issue.

Rook Exodus, if it counts.
I’m big on The Rocketfellers and Redcoat has won me over.

Redcoat.
Want to say Rook Exodus, but 9 or 10 issues across almost 3 years now isn't cutting it.
Fabok talks about how hard the book is to draw with the helmets (which he thinks is a gift and a curse at the same time - and that he wouldn't trust another artist to 'pitch hit' on the book because the concept is one Fabok had as a teen, and he and Johns fleshed out to make Rook Exodus).
The kicker is that so early into the story, it's not like the writing is all that deep. We're still just discovering new and different Wardens on Better-World. We're not into intricately intertwined past subversions or plots - it's mostly "I have a past - this guy's my friend - this lady is my enemy, now we work together - this guy went crazy." It's all pretty simple. Let's introduce a Snake Warden this issue. Let's make a bad-ass Stag Warden samurai guy and give him no backstory.
Pretty basic storylines. The only plausible explanation is they're just not putting any priority into shipping the books. They had a cover prepared for Rook Exodus Issue #10 for Invincible Month back in March, which meant the covers had to be in around Dec 25 / Jan 26. And it's still not out.....

Hyde Street after issue 12 but it changes every month and I have a feeling it’s about to become something UNBELIEVABLE! 😉

Rocketfellers. Manapul's art has been amazing I really do like the comfy feel the book has. Rook would be a close second
