Yes, that Geoff Johns! In this episode, Bandit Joe goes mano a mano with the powerhouse comics writer/executive and film/TV producer for an in-depth discussion of all things geek. The former President and Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment got his start as an intern for legendary Superman director Richard Donner and eventually found his way to DC, where he pitched and wrote Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. The next thing you know, he's co-writing JSA, then fully writing The Flash, and finally doing a bit of Marvel work on the side.
Then, with the return of Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern: Rebirth series, Geoff's off to the races. He writes the new ongoing Green Lantern title (introducing a spectrum of different Lanterns), Infinite Crisis, and co-writes the weekly 52 series. It's one hit after another until they give him the Big Kahuna job in 2010. Geoff continued to write comics, but also started producing DC's movie slate, including Green Lantern, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, as well as their TV shows on CW and elsewhere.
Geoff's most recent work, the Image miniseries Junkyard Joe (with frequent collaborator Gary Frank) just finished it's run. So go check it out!
