Geoff Johns

Has this faggot ever written a single story that wasn't "ow the edge", "muh nostalgia goggles" or "extreme-fanboy-mode engage"?

He screwed Superboy so badly with his fanboy retcon that the character never recovered, wrecked the Flash mythos because of his hard-on for Barry Allen, endlessly tried to regress Superman every time the character made one step forward, does not get Batman whatsoever and irreversibly fucked the Green Lantern lore with his emotional spectrum bullshit.

I'm still making up my mind on his Aquaman run, but so far it just seems like endless Atlantis drama with frequent "human vs. atlantean side" angsting.

I like the color lanterns though.

The color spectrum stuff was dumb but I'd say that the crap he did with Hal Jordan and Sinestro and all those godawful events was much worse.

He brought back flat and boring Barry Allen when no one asked for it. He made Superman look like Christopher Reeve just for the sake of his nostalgia. He's a faggot.

I've heard that his earlier stuff is decent. And he did write for Marvel for a while, wrote the Avengers and did minis for The Vision and the Morlocks. But his JSA run starts off with shit like the death of the edgy 90's Fate. So it's hard not to think of him as someone who rivals even Brian Michael Bendis on the "not muh" writing scale

It's been a while since I picked up Johns' Avengers run but I remember it having many of his "edgy for the sake of edginess trademarks" like She-Hulk going nuts and trying to kill everyone towards the end.

His early DC stuff was pretty unremarkable but post-Green-Lantern is when it really all went to hell. Sinestro Corps' War, for example, was basically "ow the edge" mixed with copious amounts of "ow the stupid".

I haven't read too much of Johns' stuff, but I hate him solely based on Countdown to Infinite Crisis.

I think DC having to kill him off to satiate the Siegel family had a lot more to do with that than Johns making him half-Luthor

But the half-luthor thing was actually kinda neat

It made sense to me. I think they'd already retconned him so he was a half-human half-Kryptonian hybrid. Why have his human donor be any ordinary scientist? Why not Luthor?
