You guys think Joe Q would give him that much freedom for writing?

Johns doesn't take shit. He makes the final calls.

Would it work with Joe? confused

Endless Mike
If he does maybe he can actually fix this mess

Val
*wipes brow*

Had me worried there.

DigiMark007
*steals Johns from Val*

HAHAHAhahaha!

*watches GL series tank*

Damn. I can't win here.

...

I'll say this though. We stroke Johns nuts a lot, and for good reason. But I've never seen anything of his that I would consider transcendent. Ask me to name my 12 favorite mini's ever, and he won't be there. Even add in story arcs in ongoing series' and he might pop up once or twice.

But what Johns doesn't do is f*ck anything up. It's always a good story, always quality.

So props, yeah. But only as much as he deserves. No more.

I hope Johns tells Joe Q's to get his ass out and find a new job (not at DC), for he's now the new chief.

I would like to see what Johns would do with Silver Surfer and the Heralds.

That would be coooool.

Johns is the only thing that has a shot of fixing that cluster-**** right now.

I'd be down for that after Geoff finishes up his run on GL. Say around #200? thumb up

I'd also like to see the possible outcomes he would do with Galactus droolio

How about a new IG war done by Johns?

He lets Bendis do what he wants; the same with Millar. I think Johns would get the same respect.

Why would you waste one of the best writers in the industry doing a remake?

I'd be fine with him going to Marvel for awhile. But only until Spidey and a few other guys are fixed. Then DC needs to grab his ass right back. stick out tongue

Seriously, this would be a great thing for Marvel. Spidey alone needs a massive retcon and repair job. Although I think Monkey Q would give Johns carte blanche on most things, I don't think he realizes yet how much OMD (his personal pet project) is hated by well, everyone. big grin Thus, I sincerely doubt he would allow Johns to fix it right away.

Pft.

Dan Slott, the man was tailor-made for the book.

Doesn't his contract end at the end of this year?

llagrok
Johns to Runaways smile

Juntai
Johns is fine on the titles he's on.

llagrok
I know, but Whedon is taking forever -.-

Runaways are out like, every 3rd month now...

Juntai
They need to sign him to another several year deal.
If he hits the open market, I want several compensation draft picks, and a hopefully a stud out of free agency.

big grin

Does it? He's still got Blackest Night in '09.

Martian_mind
Also he made a big show about how he wants to do Aquaman

Val
And Nightwing

And The Legion

Martian_mind

stick out tongue

although, my favourite flash story ever is by him, so stick out tongue

WrathfulDwarf
Johns is staying put at DC!

Inteview on his future plans for DC

Johns is good, but he really doesn't do anything groundbreaking. I always enjoy the hell out of his work, and he's always satisfying, but he's never my number 1 pick of the month.

And he'd be a terrible fit on Runaways. He's not really funny enough to write them. And Slott has been writing the hell out of Spiderman since One More Day. Spiderman has definetly been better since One More Day... but that's really just 'cause it's the first time there's been a good writer on the title for years.

I would LOVE to read a Johns Legion of Superheroes title.... even though the current run is real good.
