Justice League Incarnate #1 Discussion/Spoilers

[Johnny]

I wouldn't call Williamson C-list, but I also wouldn't put him in the same breath as Johns in his prime just yet. I get the comparison in the sense that Williamson seems to be playing the role of the architect now that Johns did back then, but while Johns wasn't everyone's favorite for different reasons, a good portion of his work proved to be some of the most successful books DC have done for the past 20 years. Johns never wrote the main Batman book either, instead he ended up elevating different B-list properties and the numbers don't lie, when Williamson does a book about a less prominent character that does Batman numbers I could see the comparisons but so far he's not there. I think it's also fair to point out that we're kind of past the "superstar" era at this point. There are still some exceptions obviously, but today people generally don't seem to buy books based on who is writing or drawing them, they buy them based on the quality.
