That's more a result of a DCEU film finally being free of the dead weight of Snyder than anything Johns did.

I agree, he seems to have either lost the spark he had in the mid 90s-mid 2000s or he decided to just rest on his laurels and coast once he made it big.

The funny thing is, there's a far stronger argument for Bendis being the one who "saved capeshit" than Johns. It was Bendis's work on Ultimate Spider-Man that led the way for Marvel's revitalization in the early 2000s out of one of the industry's lowest periods in the late 90s.

The mainstream comic industry's comeback in the 2000s in many ways can be attributed to Bendis.

Not to mention that it was Bendis's USM that formed the basis for the Raimi Spider-Man movies which opened the modern era of cape film dominance, and the Ultimate Marvel books that followed him formed the basis for the MCU. You could argue that he is also responsible for the success of cape films today.

Johns writing won't ever be on par with Alan Moore, but the guy has great ideas, and clearly is creative enough to think of these great ideas and story lines. It's his writing style that won't ever set him apart into the Morrison/Moore category.

Geoff Johns is a good writer, he's had some bad books, some above average books, some average book, a few stinkers, a few amazing books. Enough to say he's a top writer working today.

Was a standard piece of shit event that caused a lot of noise and seemed to change things FOREVER and then they didn't (just like his other great 'hit' events like Darkest Day Brightest Blight, Darkseid. Suckiest War. Ever, and Barry's Mom Must Die to say DC/The CW/DCEU - just you wait for that to be the plot of Ezra's movie, etc.)

>>His Flash Run

Henry, Geoff's trying to kill your wife once again just so Barry can do the Spock/Kirk bad touch handshake with you from prison

>His green Lantern run

Yes, everything we needed - we just didn't know it - a Lantern Spectrum, dead superhero's back from the dead to rape long time fans just to please the fan fiction writing former Superboy letter-upper

>His Superman run

Yes, let's set the page for another shitty, year plus Superman cross-over because this time I'm not going to fuck up the entire DC universe, just all the Super Family titles

He doesn't really care that much about Moore in particular. He is just a continuity nut so he picks and chooses from everything and then blends the eras together (though heavily skewed toward the bronze age because that's when he started buying ongoings) into a cohesive take.

GFbrought me back into comics once he took over JSA. I still think it's his most solid run on a book, and the fanboy in him knows DC history. He isn't a great writer, but he is creative writing fanboy capeshit from a fanboy perspective. That's why he sells. He's a basic bitch writer, but he knows how to real in casuals with knowledge and grow new readers from his out put, even with continuity that's demanded.

I don't like some of what he scripted, but he is easily relatable in delivery. I'll rip my fedora him for being able to realign continuity when he needs too so people buy books.

Overall, he is mediocre but sometimes delivers gems when people want looking for comic story gold

He still told its tale well, and made them relevant again until the new52boot. He isn't great, but he is pretty consistent like in GL and Flash runs he wrote. I'm not his biggest fan, but he does know his market, and can write out superhero drama that casual readers find digestible if they're new to the character and continuity.

His Teen Titans run did irreparable damage to nearly every character involved, namely all the ex-Young Justice members and the only good thing about his GL run was the gayness between Hal and Sinestro.

Also don't compare him to Liefeld because Liefeld at least has the creativity equivalence to retard strength and can make a good OC with potential every once in a while whereas Johns doesn't even have that.
