Say what you want but I don't think I've ever heard

Agreed. I can't stand his writing, but most people seem to love him.

...is it just me, or does he kinda look like James Rolfe?

He nurses sick dogs from shelters until they die. Just so they have a home.

You can't trust someone with two first names

Seriously tho, he's a fan made writer and he only did wonder to DC titles.

He'll go down in history as one of the best writer/editor/executive creator

He seems to be the best case scenario, for giving a fan a chance to write the comics they grew up with.

He's the paragon to Bendis' renegade.

Like him or not, he's the one true /ourguy/. He is what we would be if we managed to bug someone in the industry enough to give us a chance. He did that and turned his dead sister into a popular (yet underrated) character and built his reputation making characters relevant and producing some of the most talked about moments in comics.

He made his dead sister into a character?

Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl on the JSA) is based off of her

Almost makes me feel guilty about beating it to the LoT version

Not everything that he writes is gold, and not every idea that he has is phenomenal.

That said, I really do like Johns' work, and appreciate his overall care for what he does.
Unlike Bendis or many other Marvel writers at present, his good stories and ideas outweigh his bad ones. Bendis did a great DD run and then shit the bed on everything else, whereas Johns made Hawkman a decent seller.

Sounds like a good person. I just wish he was a good writer and didn't have so much control over the DCU.

It's not hard to seem like a good guy when you're being compared to the rest of the comic book industry. Most comic book professionals are self-important prima donnas who consider themselves to be God's gift to artistic expression.

Johns is able to seem saintly by comparison just by being a normal, humble, well adjusted person.

Pretty much this. A lot of his work isn't much more substantial than Bendis', but at least with Johns there seems to be a genuine enthusiasm to his "smash action figures together" approach to writing superheroes.

He did come up with this abomination that is something surely negative anon.
