Geoff Johns Stepping Down As Writer On ‘Green Lantern’

After nearly 10 years on the book, Geoff Johns will be stepping down as the writer of Green Lantern. The writer, who was tasked with making Green Lantern relevant again and influenced the big screen adaptation of the character, has announced he will be leaving the title this May to focus on other titles that he is currently writing. Johns stated:

“I’m really proud of all the stuff we’ve built with Green Lantern, from Larfleeze to the different corps. The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology.”

Johns will be focusing more of his effort on Justice League, Justice League Of America, and Aquaman.  Johns has promised a huge departure issue for the series when his run ends with issue #20, which will be a 64 page issue drawn by Doug Mahkne.
