Johns made Green Lantern the second most popular DC character for a time.

There's no way on earth this is true. Maybe book sales for a while he's selling better than Superman or Wonder Woman (we all know who number one is) but not in terms of the popular consciousness.

I loved the Johns GL. Was just looking through them today because my friend reminded me they have been at his house for the past couple years.

Johns made Green Lantern the second most popular DC character for a time.

Sales wise it definitely did hit massive numbers beyond anything expected.

It had the perfect storm behind it.

Hal Jordans return was always going to sale to a certain base.
Then you got those curious what the fuss is about and wanting to check it out.
Then you add Goff Johns who was writing some actually great stuff at the time. He was becoming one of the names of the day.
The creative team as a whole at the time was considered all-star. Pity one of them turned out be such a POS. If only we knew what was to come.
The speculation market got onboard this real quick. Buy buy buy!
Hype. It was hyped and what’s this, extra hype? My word!
