List void due to how low Blitz and Virtue & Vice are.

Blitz changed lives

 

[Ephemeris]

Misread the title and thought Geoff made that list.

Was immediately disappointed then relived to find out I was wrong. Lol

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Justice League Origins is way to high on that list.

Assuming they are talking about the best individual Johns story arcs, I don't think Forever Evil deserves to be in the top 20. I'd take most of his JSA and Flash stories over that.

People liked Forever Evil?

Damn right, dude reinvented JSA for a new age and they list other bullshit over that?

At least they recognize his work with the Legion of Superheroes.

sinestro wars is amazing. Great stuff, I hope it becomes a dc animated film

 

[Slayven]

But Blitz not even being in the top 3 makes me mad.

Not when WB's too afraid to venture outside of the Batman/Superman pool. At best, it'd get retooled into a Justice League movie.

It is criminal how much good shit they leave on the table. Blitz, Sinsetro War, Legends of a Dead Earth, Underworld Unleashed, Blackest Night, Sins of Youth, etc

 

[Htown]

I'm okay with this list, if only because they recognize the greatness of that post-52 Booster Gold run.

 

[Dalek]

People liked Forever Evil?

I did. I liked it a lot. Much better event than most recent comic events-except for Secret Wars.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I immediately thought of Flash Rebirth. Not on the list?

 

[Frozenprince]

DC doing everything they can to not lose Johns.

He's their last member of any depth in that stable left.

Comics is too incestuous, they should always have a stable of new talent.

 

[HStallion]

Yeesh Blackest Night is way too high on that list.

 

[Sandfox]

I immediately thought of Flash Rebirth. Not on the list?

That's the book that fridged Wally and his family so I'm happy with it not being on the list.

 

[Grenouille]

I remember Rebirth being super corny. The Batman punch was just silly.
Secret origin is just...ok. Nothing special there. If that fits in his top 10 I'm not sure I want to read the other ones.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

The Return of Hawkman TPB was my entry into reading DC in English and discovering their weird continuity as well as the JSA. I had only read some Batman and Superman stuff and a couple of issues of Crisis in French before that. I instantly fell in love with it. It's not necessarily the best story on that list but I remember laughing out loud at the absurdity of some of the pages. I didn't know comics could get that crazy.

His JSA run is his best work as a whole. Then Flash. Then the rest.

 

[Viewt]

Johns' JSA/Justice Society of America run is legit one of the all-time greats in the medium.

His Teen Titans was also great. And his Green Lantern run up through Blackest Night was fantastic.

There are real criticisms you can level at Johns, but the dude has put out tremendous work. And he's got one of the best attitudes in the business.

 

[Schweinehund]

Really want John's Booster Gold to be reprinted, haven't had a chance to read it.

My favorite John's stories were the first volume of JSA and Blitz/Rogue War and pretty much all of GL up until Brightest Day.

Also however much of 52 you want to attribute to Johns. I like to think he did most of the black adam stuff.

 

[higemaru]

Hell yeah 52 Pick Up is still one of the only Johns comics I've really checked out and since that's most of my exposure to him, I can't understand why people would dislike him. 52 Pick Up is the Booster Gold comic imo. Everything I wanted from him after reading 52.

Johns' Shazam! was the best thing about New 52 after Snyder's Batman.

It's certainly one of the best character revivals Johns did. Jurgens following him as writer wasn't my favorite, but Johns had done such a great job setting up that character, it was actually really enjoyable from time to time.

By the way, if you like Booster, you should check out Justice League: Generation Lost. He's one of the main characters in it and kills it.
