All four of the Green Lantern family writers and at least one artist (Doug Mahnke, who draws Green Lantern and who will follow Johns to another project) will leave in May, setting up a new status quo for an incoming group of creators in June. It's hard to know, after all, whether a title like Green Lantern: New Guardians or Red Lanterns holds much appeal in a post-Johns era much of the appeal of the Green Lantern line was that they all sort of fell in step with what Johns was doing at the main book, supporting his massive mega-stories and proving that the secondary and tertiary characters that he had created or re-established during his time on the books were valuable parts of a big picture.Ī big picture that, for now at least, is being wrapped up and carried away, when Johns takes a huge chunk of the Green Lantern creative family with him. He is the Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment and resides in Los Angeles, California.With the surprise announcement this week that DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns is stepping down from his role as Green Lantern writer after nearly ten years, fans were shocked and a bit baffled as to where the comic-which has now become the cornerstone of a whole corner of the DC Universe-goes from here. Johns has written for various other media, including episodes of Smallville, Arrow and Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, for which he was nominated along with his co-writers for an Emmy. He and his mentor Donner later co-wrote SUPERMAN: LAST SON featuring the return of General Zod. After moving to Los Angeles, he became an assistant to Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Movie. Johns was born in Detroit and studied media arts, screenwriting and film at Michigan State University. He is also known for transforming Green Lantern into one of the most critically and commercially successful franchises in comics. Johns is the author of The New York Times best-selling graphic novels AQUAMAN: THE TRENCH, BLACKEST NIGHT, GREEN LANTERN: THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGIN, SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC and BATMAN: EARTH ONE which hit #1 on the bestseller list. Geoff Johns is an award-winning writer and one of the most popular contemporary comic book writers today.
