I believe you are right, but it seems pretty obvious. Sorry if it turns out wrong.

I've been reading all of the GL titles and my level of fun with the new runs haven't diminished if that is any indication. In fact, they are much better than the Third Army arc ever had a chance of being.

I'm not quite sure if that is what happens.
It's not like Johns last few storylines were the beginning of this.
The dismanteling of the corps was something that was a major part of his storylines in the new52
At least Jordan shows that Kyle has many more tools than a GL and he even uses them accordingly. The nerfing of Kyle in the last few years was cruel, espcially as his part in each and every final fight was two or three panels during power blast duels of thousands of lanterns.
It's good to see him engage and fight an obvioulsy Boss level enemy for a change that was even introduced in his book. And that he does not have to bow to the great Halness.

I'm slowly catching up with the oversized hardcovers. Waid is a beast. It's a shame some shit went down with DC and him.

Honestly, I thought he went a bit overboard adding so many corps to the universe. It would have been fine if they were just brought in for the event. But to make them all part of the new status quo? Reeks of cash-grab to me. Glad some of them are going.
Probably "Issue 1 - 32 pages" but cut off

We can dream, can't we?
He'll be back as soon as the Superman job is available.
Anyway, I feel that every time DD gets a chance at being happy, universe finds a way to screw it up for him : |
Fair enough, to each their own.
I realize that (here at least) my unabashed love for Geoff Johns is far from the norm. He and Grant Morrison are basically what got me back into comics after a very long absence from the hobby.
Are you my brother?
GL: Rebirth and New X-Men are the reason why I started reading comics (again)

IF it's ever available. Scott Lobdell is going to run Superman comics out of existence before that happens.

A giant, fucking unreadable book?
Yay.
Stupid Marvel and their dumb omnibuses. Just give me nice big 12 issue hardcovers you dicks. And it means you get even more money out of me.
Hah, exactly the same here. Before then the last time I had regularly bought comics was the X-Men Fatal Attractions crossover, which was what 93 or 94?
Same here except it was the Onslaught crossover that made me lose interest in the first place
I was 14 and still pretty new to comics, so Onslaught was cool to me. I made it up to around the time Apocalypse possessed cyclops before I bowed out. At that point, I realized that I hadn't enjoyed the x-books in some time and were just reading them out of habit.

It's up there, but I rank Saga, Hawkeye, and Daredevil slightly higher. Chew delivers the goods every month, that's for sure.
When was Onslaught? I never bothered to go back and read any of that 90's stuff before New X-Men.

I survived the entirety of the Age of Apocalypse in the 90s. I think I purchased and read almost every issue of every series.
I couldn't make it past the second issue of Onslaught. That should tell you something.

Both of those came out during Joe Mad's run on Uncanny X-men, so it was pretty easy for me to forgive the story at the time. I still like some of the AoA stories. It helps that several of Marvel's top artists at the time were working on those X-books.

Same.
Batman and Nightwing was good, but I think I'm all feel'd out over the Damian situation. This one didn't destroy me like past issues. Wonder Woman got my feels this week.
Man, the Avengers could not feel any more insignificant in all this Infinity business. lol
Even though we've got this Trinity War mystery licked at this point, I'm still really enjoying the story. It's actually getting me pretty hyped for Villain's Month. No small feat considering I did not care at all two weeks ago.
I'm enjoying Supergirl, but man Kara is a real asshole. I feel for her, but she's an asshole.
On the current topic, I don't get why people hate John's so much. He's a good writer who turns in entertaining stories, which is really all I ask.

Yeah while I feel like we've done a pretty great job of sorting out Trinity War it's just been a lot of fun to read, especially since I don't think it is what anyone was expecting. I'm super hyped for Forever Evil and seeing how it all plays out.
Have they revealed the identity of
Cyborg Superman
It seems to me that a lot of the Johns hate really became prominent when he became CCO, but maybe that's just me.
Interesting. I've always been intrigued by that book but never had room in my pull list for it.
I was pretty young myself, but I felt pretty burned having to buy so many books to get the full picture. The payoff was severely lacking as well with the pocket dimension Franklin Richards stuff

Never had any issues reading any of them, except maybe Thor
i prefer Astonishing X-Men/Immortal Iron Fist sized omnibus collections...but i can't stand huge stuff like Invisibles and Wolverine by Claremont. I don't know if i'll buy another omnibus over 1000 pages.

Was browsing instocktrades and came across the Wolverine Adamantium collection... Was that the one I saw online some time ago that was the size of a human torso? Or was that a different book? Considering it's priced at $100 after a 50% discount, I'm thinking this is the one.

Haha. Aside from Geoff Johns and a couple other obvious ones, he's probably not wrong.
Man Batman and Nightwing really kind of hits you.
Also, New Guardians 23 is the first time I've been interested in any of this Relic stuff. Might actually try a few more chapters. Good issue.
Avengers was really kind of bland. I keep teetering on how much I actually care about Infinity.
