Geoff Johns

Geoff Johns spent nine years on Green Lantern, starting by bringing Hal Jordan back from the dead and ending with a cosmology of coloured emotions that DC still uses. Rebirth is the cleanest resurrection story DC has published, it explains a decade of Hal Jordan's villainy without dismissing it, and the Sinestro Corps War is where Johns' emotional spectrum first pays off. This volume takes the franchise from cancelled backwater to DC's second-biggest line.

The second New 52 Justice League omnibus covers the back half of Geoff Johns' run, when the team's internal politics became the plot. Trinity War is the crossover where three Justice League teams fight each other over a murder none of them committed, and it is the best structured event DC published in the New 52. Johns also finally writes the Superman and Wonder Woman relationship as a decision with consequences rather than a marketing beat.

Flashpoint is the DC event where one impossible choice turns the whole world wrong. Barry Allen wakes in a reality without the Justice League as he knows it, with Thomas Wayne as Batman, Atlantis and Themyscira at war, and every familiar piece of the DC universe bent into a darker shape. This anniversary omnibus is the full earthquake: the central event, the altered world around it and the road toward the New 52.

Geoff Johns wrote The Flash for six years starting in 2000, and his contribution was to build Wally West a rogues' gallery worth caring about. Iron Heights is the standout: a prison built specifically for metahumans, run by a warden who tortures them, and it reframed every Flash villain as a person with a life. Johns writes the Rogues as working-class criminals with a code, which is the version DC has used ever since.

The Flash: The Road to Rebirth Omnibus focuses on the road into DC Rebirth, with Barry Allen, Wally West and the Flash legacy shaped by memory, speed, continuity shifts and the feeling of a universe preparing to realign. The appeal is not only continuity; it is watching a specific DC period find its tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Infinite Crisis was DC's 2005 event and the twenty-year sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths, built to fix a universe the company had let get too dark. The four lead-in miniseries are the reason to own it collected: the event only makes sense if you have seen Batman build the OMACs, Wonder Woman kill on camera and Superman refuse to intervene. It is also the moment DC brought back the multiverse it had spent two decades insisting was gone.

Final Crisis is Grant Morrison's 2008 event, in which Darkseid wins on page one and the rest of the story is about what happens to a universe after evil has already taken it. Morrison writes it as a deconstruction of superhero comics themselves: the Anti-Life Equation spreads as a meme, reality degrades into fragments, and the narrative structure breaks down with it. It is DC's most formally difficult event and its most rewarding on a reread, and Batman R.I.P. runs directly into it.

The Flash by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 focuses on Geoff Johns's Flash mythology, with the Flash family shaped by Rogues, legacy, Speed Force consequences and emotional pressure around the costume. The appeal is not only continuity; it is watching a specific DC period find its tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Forever Evil is the New 52 event in which the Justice League is removed from play and the Crime Syndicate, their evil counterparts from another Earth, takes over the world. Making Luthor the protagonist is the whole idea, and Geoff Johns commits to it: he is not redeemed, he is simply the only person competent enough to win. The volume also introduces the New 52 version of the Crime Syndicate and gives Batman one of his best scenes of the era, alone against Ultraman.

New Krypton is the storyline in which a hundred thousand surviving Kryptonians arrive on Earth and Superman stops being the last of his kind. The premise is the best Superman question anyone has asked recently: what does he do when his people arrive and they are not like him. The Kryptonians are militaristic, entitled and legally separate, and Superman has to choose between them and Earth. It ran across every Superman title for two years and only reads properly collected.

In 2011 DC cancelled its entire line and restarted fifty two titles from issue one on the same day. Ten years later this anniversary volume collects the first issues that mattered, which is the only honest way to look at a relaunch that produced both Snyder's Batman and a lot of things nobody finished.

Aquaman by Geoff Johns Omnibus restores Arthur Curry as a king caught between ridicule, responsibility and the violent pull of Atlantis. Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Joe Prado and Paul Pelletier make the ocean feel royal, dangerous and political, turning Aquaman into a lead who has to prove himself on land and underwater.

Superboy Prime raises an army of every villain the Legion ever fought, so the Legion answers by fielding three versions of itself from three timelines at once. Johns and Perez drew every Legionnaire who has ever existed onto the same page and somehow kept it readable.

JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the 1999 relaunch that made the Justice Society one of DC's flagship titles. Launched by James Robinson and David S. Goyer and quickly defined by Geoff Johns, it reassembles comics' original super-team around a legacy premise: Golden Age veterans mentoring a new generation. This volume introduces Stargirl, a character Johns created in memory of his sister, and delivers the signature early arcs, from "Justice Be Done" to "The Return of Hawkman" and "Virtue and Vice." Art by Stephen Sadowski and Rags Morales.

Geoff Johns and James Robinson reintroduced Hawkman in 2002, a character whose continuity had become so tangled that DC had spent years avoiding him. The reincarnation premise is turned into a romance where only one person remembers the relationship, which is a genuinely uncomfortable idea and the run does not soften it. Johns also finally made Hawkman's continuity legible, which had defeated every writer for two decades.

Power Girl: New Beginnings and Old Friends Omnibus collects the Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Amanda Conner run, which took a character usually treated as a punchline and made her the lead of a genuinely funny superhero comic. Conner's comic timing is the reason it still gets recommended.

Green Lantern by Geoff Johns, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 1 is the modern rehabilitation of Hal Jordan and the launchpad for the emotional spectrum era. Rebirth brings Hal back, Sinestro Corps War expands the conflict and the Corps becomes cosmic mythology again. Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis and Carlos Pacheco help define the visual scale, while Johns builds the architecture that leads toward Blackest Night. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 moves the run into Blackest Night, where the emotional spectrum faces death itself. Hal Jordan and the Lantern Corps are pulled into a cosmic war against the Black Lanterns, with DC's dead rising across the universe. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 closes Johns' Lantern saga around resurrected heroes and villains, the rebuilt Corps and the New 52 stretch of Hal Jordan's story.

Justice League: The New 52 / Geoff Johns, collected complete as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Justice League: The New 52 Omnibus Vol. 1 launches DC's 2011 League from first contact and public suspicion. Geoff Johns and Jim Lee rebuild Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Cyborg into a team under world-ending pressure. Justice League: The New 52 Omnibus Vol. 2 continues Geoff Johns' League through larger DC event machinery, including Forever Evil and Darkseid War. The team faces the Crime Syndicate, Lex Luthor's rise and the cosmic pressure of the New Gods.

The Flash by Geoff Johns, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Geoff Johns begins his Flash run by making Keystone City feel alive and making Wally West feel human again. The speed is there, but the real hook is how Johns rebuilds the world around Wally: the Rogues, Iron Heights, the people he protects and the enemies who understand him too well. This first omnibus is a strong entry point for readers who want modern Flash with crime texture, legacy weight and a city that matters. The Flash by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 follows Wally West's world under Geoff Johns, shaped by Keystone City, family pressure, Rogues with damage behind them and speed mythology with emotional weight. The appeal is seeing this DC period collected as one reading path, with its own tone, cast and visual rhythm. The Flash by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 focuses on Geoff Johns's Flash mythology, with the Flash family shaped by Rogues, legacy, Speed Force consequences and emotional pressure around the costume. The appeal is not only continuity; it is watching a specific DC period find its tone, cast and visual rhythm.

JSA by Geoff Johns, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the 1999 relaunch that made the Justice Society one of DC's flagship titles. Launched by James Robinson and David S.

This volume introduces Stargirl, a character Johns created in memory of his sister, and delivers the signature early arcs, from "Justice Be Done" to "The Return of Hawkman" and "Virtue and Vice." Art by Stephen Sadowski and Rags Morales. JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 collects the team's most celebrated middle era. Now firmly Geoff Johns's book (with David S. Goyer co-writing much of the stretch), the Justice Society becomes a DC flagship through arcs like "Princes of Darkness," "Black Reign", the Black Adam turn that reshaped the character, and "Waking the Sandman." The legacy-mentorship dynamic deepens as the old guard and the new generation are tested. Core art by Leonard Kirk and Don Kramer, with Rags Morales and others. JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 closes out the original series and opens the acclaimed 2007 relaunch, Justice Society of America. It gathers the "Lightning Saga" JLA/JSA crossover and the celebrated "Thy Kingdom Come", the epic where the Superman of Kingdom Come crosses into the main DC Universe. Dale Eaglesham becomes the signature artist of the relaunch, under iconic Alex Ross covers, in the run that broke Star

52 Omnibus follows DC's weekly year after Infinite Crisis, when Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are absent from the centre of the universe. Booster Gold, Renee Montoya, Black Adam, The Question, Steel and Ralph Dibny carry a rotating ensemble story about a world trying to function without its usual icons.

Justice League relaunched in 2011 as the flagship of DC's New 52, with Geoff Johns and Jim Lee starting the entire universe from scratch. The first arc is the League's origin retold for a generation that had only seen the films, and the Darkseid invasion gives them a reason to stay together. Johns then spends years on the Trinity War and the Crime Syndicate, and this volume is the run in full rather than the opening six issues everyone owns.

The Flash by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 follows Wally West's world under Geoff Johns, shaped by Keystone City, family pressure, Rogues with damage behind them and speed mythology with emotional weight. The appeal is seeing this DC period collected as one reading path, with its own tone, cast and visual rhythm.

The Darkseid War is the conclusion of Geoff Johns' years-long Justice League story, in which Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor go to war and Earth is the battlefield. The central idea is the best thing in Johns' run: each member is elevated to a New God, Batman takes the Mobius Chair and learns everything, Superman becomes a darker version of himself, the Flash is bonded to the Black Racer. Batman using omniscience to answer who killed his parents is the scene everyone remembers.

Blackest Night was DC's 2009 crossover and the payoff of five years of Green Lantern build-up: black rings fall from the sky and the dead return as Black Lanterns. The premise is unusually cruel for a company crossover: the Black Lanterns keep the memories of the people they were, and they use them. It is also the tenth-anniversary edition, gathering the whole event and its tie-in chapters in one volume for the first time, which is the only way the scale reads correctly.

Geoff Johns wrote Avengers between the Busiek era and Disassembled, with Olivier Coipel on art. It is the run that asked whether a superhero team can act as a global authority without becoming one. The premise is sharp: every capital city on Earth vanishes and the nations turn to the Avengers, while Thor ascends to Asgard's throne and starts answering prayers directly — putting him at odds with Iron Man and Captain America. Johns writes the standoff as politics rather than a fight, and Coipel's art here is the reason he later got House of M.

The third and final Johns omnibus covers Brightest Day, the New 52 relaunch and the arrival of Simon Baz, closing a run that had reshaped the franchise entirely. The last act is Johns' most ambitious: Sinestro wearing a green ring, Hal Jordan stripped of his, and the Guardians deciding the Corps was a mistake all along. The New 52 issues are also unusual in that they ignore the reboot almost entirely, which lets Johns finish the story he started in 2004 on his own terms.

DC New 52 Villains Omnibus gathers one of DC's most unusual publishing events: Villains Month 2013, when every ongoing series was replaced by a one-shot starring a villain. Orbiting the Forever Evil storyline, in which the Crime Syndicate conquers the DC Universe, each issue delivers a secret, origin or fate for a major antagonist, from the Joker and Darkseid down through the whole line. An anthology by Geoff Johns, Gail Simone, Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire and many more, with art including Jim Lee. A complete, one-book record of the event.

JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 collects the team's most celebrated middle era. Now firmly Geoff Johns's book (with David S. Goyer co-writing much of the stretch), the Justice Society becomes a DC flagship through arcs like "Princes of Darkness," "Black Reign", the Black Adam turn that reshaped the character, and "Waking the Sandman." The legacy-mentorship dynamic deepens as the old guard and the new generation are tested. Core art by Leonard Kirk and Don Kramer, with Rags Morales and others.

Dark Nights: Death Metal Omnibus collects the sequel to Metal and every tie-in: the Batman Who Laughs has won, Perpetua rules a broken multiverse, and Wonder Woman leads what is left of the resistance. Snyder and Capullo use it to settle DC's entire continuity problem at once, and it ends with the multiverse rebuilt as the Infinite Frontier.

Brightest Day Omnibus collects the year-long series that followed Blackest Night, in which twelve heroes and villains return from the dead and none of them know why. Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi use it to rebuild Aquaman, Firestorm, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter at once, and it contains the Aquaman material that led directly into the New 52 relaunch.

The second Johns omnibus contains Blackest Night, the event in which every dead character in the DC Universe returns wearing a black power ring. Blackest Night works because it is built on grief rather than spectacle: the risen dead are people the heroes failed to save, and they know exactly what to say. Ivan Reis draws the whole thing. It was DC's best-selling event of its decade and it reads far better collected than it did month to month.

Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Omnibus collects the complete run that rebuilt the team for a new generation: Superboy, Robin, Kid Flash and Wonder Girl joined by Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy as reluctant mentors. Johns writes teenagers who are genuinely afraid of becoming their predecessors, and the run contains 'The Future Is Now', still one of the best-loved Titans stories.

JSA by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 closes out the original series and opens the acclaimed 2007 relaunch, Justice Society of America. It gathers the "Lightning Saga" JLA/JSA crossover and the celebrated "Thy Kingdom Come", the epic where the Superman of Kingdom Come crosses into the main DC Universe. Dale Eaglesham becomes the signature artist of the relaunch, under iconic Alex Ross covers, in the run that broke Stargirl out as a marquee character. The definitive Johns JSA reaches its high point.
