Has Green Lantern by Geoff Johns run it's course? Is it creatively bankrupt?

Perhaps the last several years of mythology builidng in the Green Lantern title and its universe has run its course. I mean, they have been very entertaining, but there's not been a new idea thrown in by Geoff Johns into the title. Given that Senestro as the titular character gives a fresh new direction. But it is still a buddy cop type of story. There's gotta be a way to make the title have that epic feeling again. Not just a buddy cop story feeling. I'm not sure if Geoff Johns can make the title dynamic again, like that new feeling in the Green Lantern title when he brought back Hal Jordan titular character, and added various concepts on the Green Lantern mythology. Does anyone feel the same way?

Personally, I don't believe so. The four Green Lantern titles are currently the only series I am buying, and I am loving Green Lantern. Out of the four series, it is my favorite and I feel it's going off gonna really great direction.

The title of your thread makes it sound like the books are horrible, but you not only admit that they are good and fun but also GL is currently running with a new fresh take.

I love GL and GLC, NG is good but I dropped RG. Is GL. As good as it was during the Sinestro Corp War? No, but that doesn't mean it's bad nor even close to being creatively bankrupt. This thread seems to have an over the top title to garner attention for no good reason.

I don't know. I don't think so but I've not been reading GL titles for a bit of a while now. I kinda think that the different corps have kinda dulled the space corner of the DCU a bit though. I would much rather read a REBELS or Adam Strange book than several of the GL family titles. I thought all that Starlin space stuff from the past several years was amazing and would much rather read about say... Lady Styx than the red lanterns.

It's been creatively bankrupt since Blackest Night, though even that is being generous.

I follow Johns' GL. I find it interesting. None of these characters are favorites of mine, not yet anyway. I don't usually follow solo books. It's just something I don't do. But I am following GL. I want to know whats going to happen with all that stuff in the book. I mention what the stuff is, but this ain't a spoiler thread. I just want to see how everything ends with the current story arc.

I like it now. Less focus on events and more focus on the characters. I'm also intrigued about the Indigo Tribe and the Guardians' plan to replace the Lanterns, although i assume it's going to be a big event.

I don't think the book is firing on all cylinders like it was a few years ago, but it's still pretty entertaining and interesting. Saying it has become "creatively bankrupt" seems pretty harsh and not a little unfair, I think.
