My Take
Geoff Johns is one of those rare creators who can resurrect a franchise from the brink. From Detroit to Michigan State and into the heart of DC Comics, he rebuilt Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash and Superman, breathing fresh narrative purpose into characters that had grown stale. That ability to restore the emotional core of a hero, not just write new adventures, is something close to alchemy. He also crossed into film and television production, becoming a structural pillar of the industry. I'm not the deepest comics scholar, but I'm always moved by people who revive what others had written off, and Johns does it with real craft.
