I am aware that some people do like the direction of DC Comics’ New 52, but I think that Johns’ involvement within it has hurt the company. Forever Evil was disappointing, and it seems as if Johns loves Hal Jordan so much, that he belittles Batman (see all of the other posts about how Johns loves to sh*t on Batman) makes Superman an immature brat and practically kills off John Stewart (who gained momentum as THE Green Lantern due to his animated appearances) in order to boost Hal’s presence within the continuity. Geoff Johns has had his moments as a writer, but Batman is DC’s cash cow, Superman is well, Superman and John Stewart is one of DC’s few recognizable minority characters. I think that if Geoff John’s continuous sabotage of these characters effects DC’s bottom line, he might be out as the head of creative. Geoff Johns is really shaking things up, but his attempt to elevate Hal Jordan has failed (hasn’t made waves in comic book sales) and I question how long the decision makers at DC will tolerate Johns tinkering with their already established properties without anything to show for it.
