Of particular interest in Geoff’s run on the title was his masterful handling of the Rogues’ group dynamic, as well the introduction of the new Zoom, who was the best new villain of the decade (in my opinion, of course). However, half of Johns’ run is no longer in print, so I can understand why many aren’t as familiar with the great stories he told as one would hope. Those people probably never read Johns’ run on The Flash, wherein his respect for the character of Wally West is readily apparent. Besides, at least his writing is (usually) good.Ī lot of people have been worrying that with Barry Allen’s return that Geoff Johns is going to let Wally West fade into obscurity. Johns is often criticized for having too much of a focus on the past, but with such an early involvement with classic legacy characters, I do not see how it could have gone any other way. before joining Goyer on JSA, and – as the cliche goes – the rest is history. Geoff’s first actual comic ( Secret Files and Origins excluded) published by DC comics was one of the one-shots that made up The JSA Returns! After that he started the title Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. I already talked about Johns’ involvement with these titles in my previous column about the JSA, but this is really where he set his roots. Update: Commentary has been added! Now you have no excuse, poozer! While you can follow Geoff’s work fine if you go by when it was released on an issue by issue basis, the list at the end caters towards the trade paperback reader. Unfortunately, as it is Easter and I have family to see, I’ll only be providing you with the list for now, but come back later this week (hopefully late tonight or tomorrow) for my usual commentary. With Blackest Night finished and the Brightest Day on the horizon, today’s Easter gift to you is a list of fan-favorite Geoff Johns’ extensive work in the DC Universe.
