If the art is bad, it detracts from understanding the story. If a story is bad, there is nothing the Artist can do to make it better. Comic books are unique in that they need the skills both the Writer and the Artist (and even then I'm not including the talents of Inker, Colorist, and Letterer, who all have just as important role in telling the story as the Writer and Artist do) to tell a good story. There were a few highlights whenever there was a splash page, but that was about it. It wasn't horrific, but it wasn't spectacular to look at either. What was a let down-for this book, anyway-was the art. Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank.įor all of the greatness that people speak of Geoff Johns (maybe I'm one of them) this was not a let down either.

He also served as staff writer for the fourth season of ROBOT CHICKEN. Goyer, as well as penned the acclaimed “Legion” episode of SMALLVILLE.

Geoff also developed BLADE: THE SERIES with David S. Geoff received the Wizard Fan Award for Breakout Talent of 2002 and Writer of the Year for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 as well as the CBG Writer of the Year 2003 thru 2005, 2007 and CBG Best Comic Book Series for JSA 2001 thru 2005. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today, working on such titles including a highly successful re-imagining of Green Lantern, Action Comics (co-written with Richard Donner), Teen Titans, Justice Society of America, Infinite Crisis and the experimental breakout hit series 52 for DC with Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid. His first comics assignments led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990s in search of work within the film industry. He attended Michigan State University, where he earned a degree in Media Arts and Film.
