what ever happened to geoff johns
>>151096283That's not Adam Baldwin?
>>151096283he cute
>>151096283Went to do Ghost Machine
>>151096283Rucka cried about him being toxic so there goes any chance of him ever coming back to DC.
>>151098279which sucks
>>151096283He tripped and fell into a hole, no one's seen him since. Some say he's still down there.
>>151098369When did that happen?
>>151098473>"It was toxic when I was there and remained toxic until Dan DiDio left. It was an abusive, manipulative environment. Geoff Johns was an incredibly manipulative person to me – used me, lied to me, played me off against people. DiDio did the same thing. I was made promises repeatedly, and they were always broken. When I left in 2009, I was mentally ill. I was severely depressed, suicidal. I nearly took my life. And that's all the direct result of the way I was treated from 2006 through 2009, it was done with malice. The people I'm speaking about are bad actors. I'm not in a place where I will ever defend them again. They did what they did with malice of forethought."
>>151096283He's going through his "indie phase", where he ain't gonna do any DC/Marvel shit and do his own stuff until he's real old and he's brought back into the fold for weird shit until he dies, like Frank Miller, Jack Kirby, etc.
>>151098482bitch
>>151098482Johns wrote the best Green Lantern run of all time while Rucka wishes he was a lesbian. Johns > Rucka
>>151098580>"Literally, December 2012, I had to call a friend to say: “I need you to come here and take this firearm out of my home. Because I am afraid of what I will do with it if I am left alone.”"A bunch of other writers seem to also agree that DC used to be awful to work at.
>>151098422it's fine, anon
>>151098482>>151098621It begins
>>151098617>while Rucka wishes he was a lesbianBatwoman was good. 52, Gotham Central, Wonder Woman, Checkmate. I enjoyed plenty he did.Scott Snyder, Sterling Gates, Gail Simone, Blackman/Williams all attest to how bad DC was at the time so I don't think Rucka is lying.
>>151098683What begins?
>>151098699>Scott Snyder, Sterling Gates, Gail Simone, Blackman/Williams all attest to how bad DC was at the time so I don't think Rucka is lying.No duh it was terrible, Dan DiDio was calling the shots and Johns wanted to pretend he could be a Hollywood man.
>>151098708When the Cyborg actor insisted it was not just Whedon but Johns who was a manipulative bully the latter accusation was even more strongly dismissed because surely Cereal Lord would never do such a thing, but word about Whedon from his co-workers eventually got out.
>>151098708BATMAN
>>151096283well he sacrificed his sister's soul to gain earthly wealth and power and now look at him old fat bald and unemployed
>>151096283Idk
Realized there was no point at writing at DC comics if he’s not in charge of the movies since he won’t be able to shove his OCs into adaptations for royalties. So he made his own imprint instead to do so and keeps trying to shill them here.
>>151098482I've been seeing stuff like this since at least John Byrne and it always really boils down to>I DIDN'T GET TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED BECAUSE I'M NOT THE HEADLINER I THINK I AM
>>151096283Wtf he looks like my coworker yet older in the hair
>>151098482I like some of Rucka's comics but I hate how petty and unprofessional this industry is sometimes. Tell it to your therapist dude.
>>151101804It's an industry driven by children
>>151098621What a fucking loser, holy shit. Manage your own guns, asshole.
>>151098764Then the guy flipped out over a microwave so you know maybe Fisher was an egotistical asshole
>>151096283The cereal expired
>>151098621Every job is awful to work at. It's why it's called worked and not WHOOPTY DO! If it sucks quit. I don't know why creatives are so determined to never quit a job just because they get to make comics. It's not worth it.
>>151098617Johns's Lantern run is terrible.
>>151098482Rucka sounds like a fucking faggot while Geoff Johns was all about fun and you cannot fucking tell me Cereal King possesses the social ability to manipulate someone, let alone the intelligence to be manipulative.At after that era, DC fucking sucked and continues to suck.
>>151098699>Scott Snyder, Sterling Gates, Gail Simone, Blackman/Williams all attest to how bad DC was at the time so I don't think Rucka is lying.Weren't most of them on twitter a lot.I remember talking to Gail Simone.Hell none of them had anything to do with any of the good Nu52 era comics.Snyder was never good.Gail Simone still was living off the good faith she got from Secret Six and her Batgirl was awful.
>>151096283lmao didnt he get cancelled after he told Cyborg that Cyborg doesnt have a penis
>>151102343I enjoyed Azzarello's Wonder Woman as a delightful alternate take on the character. This wound up souring me on Rucka when he returned to Diana to "fix" her, as you might imagine.
>>151096283after he grifted thousands from DC Films and Warner Brothers, and paid for his hair plugs, he thought he could pull a Millar World and get some streamer to pay more than thousands for his shitty ideas but no one returned his calls.
>>151096283most the books on his imprint are pretty good, i really don't want him back at DC.
>>151098764Nobody takes Fisher seriously anymore, in fact Whedon has more chances of being in the DCU than him
>>151098699the montoya/batwoman/crime bible shit was the worst part of 52, it was so fucking dull. I skipped over most of it, and szazs question >>> montoya questionthe rest was decent>>151098617>>151102304would not say it was the best ever, nor would I say it was terrible. there were many good aspects, including the introduction of sector partners and having two lanterns on earth and in the honour guard, bringing back the lost lanterns, bringing back characters like stel and salaak, modernising much of the GL mythos, and his take on sinestro and his corps.the bad includes the other lanterns, particularly them all being stronger than green lanterns for some reason, and the limited scope for cosmic dc. the green lanterns also turned into massive jobbers restricted to hard light constructs, instead of the more creative uses of the ring.
>>151096283Ghost Machine
>>151096283I miss his DC books.
>>151098482This makes me like Didio even more. He kept all the mentally ill people out.
>>151103593?
>>151098699>Batwoman was goodBecause of the art. 52 was fine because these event type cape comics are usually really boring, even the acclaimed stuff, and still, Rucka's parts were the worst. I read Checkmate but I legit don't remember a thing from it, just that Waller was the same as she is in everything else aside from Ostrander's Suicide Squad.As for those other names, I barely read any Simone but she's at Rucka's level, no worse, Gates was barely there for a dozen issue because he was friends with Johns, the N52 Batwoman didn't have worse writing than the Rucka written issues, and I'll take Snyder over Rucka any day.>>151102287>I don't know why creatives are so determined to never quit a jobHe tried his hand at non big2 work and his reception was lukewarm. There was some shilling for his stuff while he was at Marvel but even after all these years, his DC work is still his most famous and well liked. So simply put, he doesn't have the name to just walk away, he needs them more than they need him + by his own words he is mentally ill.
I DONT KNOW
>>151098482I would give this more credence if he hadn't had a fit and forced Frank Cho off the Wonder Woman covers
>>151102287>Every job is awful to work at.Most jobs I've had in the last 5 years are just me and some buddies chilling in a truck with the AC on full blast for like 6 hours a day.Idk where you work, but sounds like a you problem
>>151098699>>151103370>>15110451352 is horrible. You guys are on crack.
>>151106911>Thing badWhy?
