Is written by Johns. The rest of it bores me to tears.
The 90's was so much more interesting as a decade.
Now we have back:
Generic, square jawed brown haired guy as Green Lantern
Generic, square jawed blond haired guy as Aquaman (According to Morrison)
Generic, square jawed blond haired guy as Flash
Generic, sqare jawed black haired guy = Superman
Dull, Dull, Dull, Dull
It bores me to tears, what happened to the Ted Kords, The Guy Gardners, The Kyle Rayners, The Wally Wests, they're still about, but all underplayed. The Martian Manhunter has been killed off. There's not much to shout about these days for DC, apart from the Green Lantern stuff Johns is doing, and I'm buying that for Johns writing not for any love of Hal Jordan, and JSA. JLA, god someone give me a rusty screwdriver, that is boring.
Sorry rant over
> I've been seeing so much criticism of Geoff John's recently and while everyone is entitled to their opinion - I just don't get it.
>
> In the era of decompression, failure to notice continuity, eccentric subplotting, glacial action, and heroic characters who aren't just dark but down right reprehensible - John's tells clear stories, juggling huge casts effectively, with a nice ratio of action to plot developement.
>
> Johns on his worst day kicks Loeb's ass up and down the block.
>
> Recently I was concerned by the numerical build up of JSA membership.
> the fight with Mangog was so cluttered that it looked like JSA was going the same direction as the Avengers and JLA where powerhouses had to look like they had been lobotomized in order to justify not taking over the tema.
> With the direction of the Gog storyline it is clear why the numbers were needed.
> A lot of criticism is being leveled about telegraphing the identity of Mangog. Sorry - it didn't seem telegraphed - it seemed clear and coherent. Sometimes the best route between two points is a straight line.
> I would rather read Johns worst story than 75% of the mainstream writers out there.
