I understand that the announcement of Johns' foray into creator owned independent comics heralds the end of his DC comics run but I find it curious that Johns was helming a linewide reboot, Doomsday Clock, when some sort of coup de etat happened and the reins of DC were handed over to the Metal crew which led to massive delays in Doomsday Clock. Then Johns seemingly secured certain corners of the DC universe to run, JSA, Stargirl and LSH this project experiences massive delays and it turns out that once again plans had changed and now Johns was on the way out. Johns is one of my all time favorite DC writers but obviously he made some powerful enemies or wasn't the best head honcho back when he was the golden child at DC. Things like this have happened before I think about Jim Shooter and Paul Levitz rumors back in the day. I am personally disappointed because it appeared Johns had plans to reinvigorate two of my favorite DC franchises the JSA and the LSH that haven't had the best care recently. Is this a matter of someone more liked by the PTB had alternate plans for the properties or was this just the end of a relationship that reached the irreconcilable differences phase? There was a time when he could do no wrong where I was concerned he breathed new life into two of my favorite franchises, GL and JSA and even brought back my favorite version of the Legion with the Retroboot. To be honest it has been a while since he put out a banger, I had high hopes for Doomsday Clock but alas but I will never forget the joy of the Sinestro Corps War the last time of pure comic bliss for me. I know we might not know the truth of it because Johns might be to professional to spill the tea but I have been surprised at the level of intel people on this site can get from "inside sources" from time to time.
