After Johns, who should write Justice League? *NOT an Anti-Johns Thread, though*

[Batman and Charles]

My number one choice for a Justice League ongoing would be Darwyn Cooke (writing and drawing, with fills by Dave Bullock or Chris Samnee if he needs it) or Walt Simonson (also writing and drawing, I don't know who would do the fill-ins, but as long as we get mostly Simonson, I'd be happy). I don't see a chance of this happening, considering these writers don't exactly fit the feel of what the DCnU JL is about...

Jeff Parker is also a good writer though, so I'd check out the book if he took over after Johns (kind of depends on who was drawing though).

[Roldan]

Busiek would be perfect. Has he wrote JLA already, besides the Avengers crossover?

He wrote the JLA vs Crime Syndicate of Amerika storyline.

[Jim Thompson]

He wrote a Crime Syndicate JLA story (which incorporated elements of the JLA/Avengers crossover, which was pretty cool). And, yeah, I very much agree; Busiek would be a great fit.

This has no shot of ever happening, but I wouldn't mind seeing Jason Aaron take a crack at Justice League.

James Robinson or Grant Morrison.

James Robinson or Grant Morrison.

Maybe Robinson, for me. Grant's already had his turn with the title, and I prefer to see someone who is either new or has worked on the book for a good long while.

[Mr. Holmes]

It would certainly be better than Robinson's last run, but I still don't think a book like JL suits his strengths. I think he's happier writing Justice Society anyway.

I agree, he seems to have a better understanding of the JSA than he does Justice League.

[crossbones]

while i hope Johns and Lee stay on the book for at least 25 issues, i also would love to see Busiek write Justice League.

[deadboy80]

How about anyone. It just seems rather lackluster at this point. Not the biggest Johns fan, but he has done some good stuff. Liked his run on tirans a few years ago, so this was rather dissapointing. Not bad by any, means, just not what i thought it could, have been. I just figured, with his rep, amd Lees art, this one would have been HUGE. Oh well.

[Doctor Voodoo]

Gail Simone, for a 12 issue arc focusing on Wonder Woman, Mera, and Element Woman. With guest appearances from Vixen and Batwoman.

Villains include: Giganta, Lady Styxx, and Female Furies.

Justice Birds of Prey League.

Peter Milligan or David Hine, with art by Shake Kane or Mike Allred.

Justice Birds of Prey League.

I was thinking The Lady League.... but Justice Birds works too

[Batman and Charles]

Damn you, you're making me depressed that this isn't a thing.

Well that is now my number one choice.

I was going to say Paul Cornell as I think he would do a pretty good job with the team. Morrison would be a healthy choice that I would certainly read but he had his run and I doubt that it would be as effective the second go around. Busiek or Giffen would be great as well.

Outside of the current DC pool, I would pick Mark Waid or Jonathan Hickman they are two of the best at Marvel right now. I am completely confused at the suggestions of Hine and Milligan as I would prefer them on something like Justice League Dark, Storm Watch or as strange as it may be taking the reigns of GL from Johns.

Now that I think about it I guess I'd rather these writers on books I actually care about.
