Now that the dust has settled and Ghost Machine has launched their ongoings, why did Geoff Johns leave DC?
>>
>>143364112
He's a rapist
>>
>>143364112
To do Ghost Machine
>>
>>143364112
He was a scapegoat for the DCEU's failures
>>
hamstrung by lee and didio's retarded plans
>>
He probably realized things were never going to improve after Rebirth flopped and simply cut his losses

I think his last issue was that JSA book and he predictably took a jab at fans because they're totally the reason the company is a zombie
>>
>>143364112
DC is not a good place to work. It’s a lost cost cause with dipping sales because of the amount of retards there. He rather watch the ship sink than go down with it.
>>
>>143364112
>Now that the dust has settled
Stock phrases like this one should get filtered so that every time someone tries to start a thread with them in the OP, they get reworded as gibberish.
>>
>>143364112
because the company is run like complete shit
>>
>>143364152
man, I gotta read this guy's stuff now
>>
>>143364112
I wish an insider would just spill what the fuck DC is doing. Clown house.
>>
>>143364112
He wants to be a TV/movie guy.

He thought he was going to be the Kevin F of the DCU but Gunn got the gig so now he's doing the Mark Millar approach of shoveling out movie pitches in comic book form.
>>
>>143364181
I find it funny how Snyderbots blame this guy for "ruining" Sneeder's vision, when the Justice League movie is pretty much an adaptation of his first New 52 arc.

Is he still making his fallout fanfic comic?
>>
>>143364181
This
>>
>>143364696
If you're talking about Geiger the ongoing series just started.
>>
>>143364181
Pretty much
When it all went south he decided to take his experience in the /tv/ business to pull a Robert Kirkman
>>
>>143366174
I hope he's happy now. I've bought everything Ghost Machine so far and I'm liking all of it.
>>
>>143364112
Is everything he is doing now just some DC Analog character that he didn't get to write for?
Gieger = Atomic Knights
Junkyard Joe= GI Robot
>>
>>143366408
Read the book. Geiger isn't close to the Atomic Knight though those are just the flunkies working for the King of Vegas. His story is much closer to Fallout from the Flash who in Johns run is also radioactive and lost his family, but the similarities are superficial.
>>
>>143366536
>Read the book.
no, I don't think I will actually
>>
>>143367168
Then the answer to >>143366408
is "no"
>>
>>143368659
see >>143367168
>>
>>143364112
DC was hijacket by gay activists, getting in his way to work into JSA as he always wanted, and he was their scapegoat

now they'll need someone else to blame
>>
>>143369198
by the way, tom taylor is the new scapegoat. the difference being that he is actually a shit writer
>>
>>143368851

>>143364112
>why did Geoff Johns get shown the door

He failed upward, the way many people do that have some value so some do not want to totally toss them out like last year's garbage.

So this >>143364181 is probably the most correct answer save the right word isn't 'scapegoat' - it's he had to SHARE and ACCEPT BLAME for the failures of DC Films, which included the Snydershit and the other films (like WW 1984 that were more on Cereal Lord than the Hack Cult Leader).

>>143366174
>>143366310
Except he's not Kirkman or Goatlicker. Or even Gaiman. Yes, he got paid and has made money from WB and DC, but nothing has really been successful.

Kirkman hasn't been able to do much with Invinciboy now that the first flush of the first season is well and truly done away with - without any residual good will. And Millarworld has just been an expensive failure so far for Netflix. So neither of those are necessarily really good examples for Cereal Lord to emulate save for The Walking Dead.

And so far, he's not been able to pull off anything even slightly near to being able to even launch something like TWD.
