Tattoo ring in Justice League Annual #2
Venditti's time on the Justice League was short and may not have broken new ground, but he created content that would easily serve as an introduction to the League if DC decided to do a giant-size book that's marketed and sold to kids/preteens at places like Wal-Mart. DC could even include solo stories in the collection.
His mission statement was to strengthen the team dynamic for the stuff ahead, and he's done that, showing other writers how to handle the Big 5 effectively all at once.
He's also left a few things in the toy box for future writers to play with.
If you haven't read it already, Justice League Annual #2 serves as a good bookend to Venditti's short run. Feels like comfort food. Since it's a mystery, it's mostly a Batman/Flash story, but the other Leaguers all play a prominent role, especially John. His time as an architect plays a role in the story, as does his experience with alien worlds.
I'd love for DC to give Venditti a Justice League book targeted at new/young readers.
Really cool seeing John get so much content this month.

Man looking for discussions of John Stewart on dc comics and Green Lantern reddit threads was a mistake.
