Geoff Johns recommendations?
 
I just read Superman: Secret Origins and totally loved it. What other stand-alone stories has he done that you liked?

My Geoff Johns recommendation would be this: RUN!!! As fast as you can -- GO!!!

I take it he did some weak sh*t for Green Lantern? I didn't read Blackest Night (except #0), but it didn't drum up any interest for me at all.

I like Geoff Johns alot. I'm still way way behind on most things(i've only just finished the Sinestro Corps), but I've liked how well he manages to fit obscure characters into a story and gives them a sense of meaning. Hmm... as for recommendations, gimme a sec, i'll go look at what I have.

Hmm. Come to think of it, I dont own much Geoff Johns stuff lol. If you want to get into Green Lantern, "Secret Origin" or "Rebirth" are good starting points. Superman "Up Up and Away" I also liked(written by Johns and Busiek).
But my personal favorite run by him was his Booster Gold run he did after 52. Pick that up and enjoy the ride :D

I love Geoff johns. Being I am a big Green Lantern fan and I enjoyed his work on the series. But maybe I have bad taste? :P

Seconded.

Johns royally ****ed three of the four characters in the DC universe that I liked (Superboy, Impulse, Kyle Rayner), and the one comic series I normally followed (Young Justice).

Every so often he hits one out of the park, but usually? **** that guy.

I was never much of a DC guy, but Johns definitely is.

JSA - I really enjoyed Johns' long run on JSA, but I read it with absolutely no previous experience with the Justice Society. He managed a huge cast and kept me interested and entertained.

His Booster Gold run really is worth a look. Yes, that Booster Gold.

I have noticed in his stories that the character that's about to have The Big Huge Everything Changes/Death/Reveal moment starts speaking in foreshadowing summations a few pages before it comes.
