Default Geoff Johns

I'm working with Geoff on something and he couldn't be nicer or more helpful or more supportive.

That's pretty cool, and I just thought I'd pass it along because some of the top level guys really ARE tools, a little bit. :)

I can't say I like how Geoff writes Wondy and I have a few problems with his work, but I'm glad to hear he's a nice guy. Is this one of those "Secret Projects" you love to tease us with Gail? :) Can't wait to hear more about it

He truly is and i have noticed it's a popular opinion among gay fanboys.
Gail, if there is one mesage you could convay to Geoff let it be that the gays of YABS would totally hit that.

Gail and Geoff are doing a remake of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee. OOPS! I wasn't supposed to tell!

He usually comes across as a class act whenever I see him in interviews. For me, he's immensely polarizing, as he's done stuff I've loved (Blackest Night, Teen Titans, JSA, Stars and Stripes, Vision, Flash,) and stuff I've positively hated (OYL Teen Titans, creating Bushido, ANY time he writes Wonder Woman, Flash and GL: Rebirths).

But at the end of the day, I really have to give him props for how he handles diversity in his comics. Every time he mowes down a foreigner or person of color (Bushido, Mongrel, Pantha), he also creates a few more (Amazing Man, Lightning, Crimson Fox), so I have to take my hat off to that.

I think most people would thank him for getting rid of Mongrel too. Is there an award for "Most racist character idea EVER"?

He's so cute (he and Amanda Palmer (?) are cute together). I think Alan Moore is cute so I may have unusual tastes (and he and Melinda Gebbe are cute together). And Gail and her SO.
And I'm glad Johns is nice to work with. =)

Pantha was a person of color? I thought she was a cat!
