Favorite Geoff Johns Run/Book?

I’d be curious to see what the community’s favorite runs by the prolific Geoff Johns are.

He’s my personal favorite author, as his run on Green Lantern is what introduced me properly to comics beyond the animated series of Justice League, Static Shock, Teen Titans, etc., and made me appreciate the artistry that goes along with them.

Naturally, his Green Lantern run is my favorite of his, but he’s done so much. What’s your favorite?

There was a time when Geoff Johns was writing The Flash, JSA, and Hawkman simultaneously and they were all fantastic. Of the three, I think Flash represents his best work (I like it more than his Green Lantern, but I’m not high on Hal Jordan).

His Green Lantern run is legendary for a reason, but I always have a soft spot for his runs on Teen Titans and JSA.

Though if we’re talking best Geoff Johns single arc? Superman: Last Son.

I find Geoff Johns to be largely overrated, but the stuff of his I’ve enjoyed the most are Stars and STRIPE, Action Comics, and (parts of) his run on Flash.

I love his Flash. I love his JSA. I love his Green Lantern. I love his Superman. I love his Teen Titans. Basically, I just love everything Mr. Johns does. While it’s not my favorite, Batman Earth One does need a shout out here somewhere. I guess it’s not really a “run” though.

My favorite is probably his Justice Society of America run, mainly “Thy Kingdom Come”! With VERY honorable mentions to his Action Comics, Green Lantern, and Flash runs! Geoff’s an absolute LEGEND!!
