Thoughts on the SUPERMAN line Post-DC office move (or Convergence thing)

[Ascended]

Yeah he stated he was going to be on for quite some time. Not sure if he'll stick to that or not but maybe he wants to make up for leaving in the middle of the New Krypton storyline.

He was also going to be on Flash for a long time too. Johns says one thing, then a few months later something else happens. The man has too many things on his plate, I suspect. And honestly, the quality of his writing has become very unreliable. His Shazam story was, in my opinion, amazing; easily one of the best things to come out of the 52 so far. But his Justice League? Totally lacks any kind of spark or sizzle. Its so bland I forget it exists until it shows up in my pull box.

I'd love to see him really embrace his role as a creative consultant and stick to movies and television. He has a knack for breaking a property down to its most basic concepts and cutting out all the excess. Its perfect for re-imagining characters (his work on Booster, Hawkman, Vibe, Green Lantern, and others all speak for this) but I find that he's sort of terrible with properties that dont need to be "fixed."

And where would his work on Superboy and Damage land then?
