Glad he's sticking with Aquaman. I was worried he'd drop that 1st.

[timeismoney]

I guess he like BMB on Avengers understand it was time to let it go.

Glad he's sticking with Aquaman. I was worried he'd drop that 1st.

It was reported back in August that he was leaving Aquaman.

Glad to see he's staying on his other titles.

Yeah, his contributions to GL have been huge.

I wonder who's going to follow him ?

Finally.

Now if only he'd step down as CCO...

[greatmetropolitan]

I'm not the biggest GL fan, and was never a Hal fan. I've had my issues with Johns' GL.

However, few writers ever get to contribute to a single series the way Geoff did with GL. Whatever you think, it was a labour of love, and DC Comics was better for it.

Good job, Geoff.

Nope. Johns leaked to AquamanShrine.com months ago that he *is* staying on Aquaman (thus debunking that Bleeding Cool rumor)--and he reaffirmed that again today in his Associated Press interview. Johns is staying on Aquaman.

NOOOOOOO!

I love John's GL!

[Spiderboy12]

Geoff Johns is leaving Green Lantern?

I'd have put that on the same expectation level as the Pope stepping down.

Oh well. That's two bits of "When Hell freezes over" news in one day.

This was going to happen sooner rather than later, for the most part his run has been really enjoyable save for some bland mega arcs.

Now, I want to know who's taking over!!!

[Loose Nucleus]

Who's taking over? Probably Howard Mackie. Or Terry Kavanagh. You poor, poor DC fans.

Just started GL with the nu52 and think its a great series! Will definitely miss Johns but since I started late I still have a ton of Johns GL goodness ahead of me!

I may be in the minority but I hope he stays on JL as long!

[Drumanespic]

Well, so concludes his second substantive run, his first being 'JSA'.
A successful one too, for the most part.

I hope this creative shift gives him new focus & bears strong results.

When he's on form, he's very good indeed.

[Burning Eyes]

I was not expecting this. I was really not expecting this.
I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but I wasn't expecting it this soon.
