Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

For someone who enjoyed John’s work when it was new as fun entertainment and the occasional well-crafted story is this a case of him doing something specific, or does he have a track record of being a lovely, mean employer? Or is this something that grew/popped up when he got significant power?

Following monthly comics was one of the biggest mistakes of my 20s both financially and socially.

I don't think this is ever going to go anywhere if there aren't some specifics from someone. "He was abusive" is in and of itself sufficiently vague enough that people can write it off, much as WB already has. Lots of people in Hollywood are hard-to-work-with assholes.

Accusations have been levied. I was saying why you aren’t currently seeing past or present DC writers stepping forward to corroborate it.

I WAS THERE
WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
Back in like 2010-2011, I guess, Geoff Johns was contributing a lot to the final seasons of Smallville, when they were broadening the scope of heroes in that world. If I recall, a lot of the characters being featured were legacy versions of the heroes, like Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle, and I randomly @ed him about how it was a shame that he was including these characters in his TV work but was one of the main architects of replacing them with their old while male counterparts in his comic work. (I think was probably around Flash: Rebirth?) What I thought at the time was a totally fair criticism!

Like five minutes later I, a complete rando, had a nasty DM from him saying that I didn’t know him and that I shouldn’t ever doubt his commitment to writing and introducing POC characters to the public!

I mean, looking at his career, I feel like I stayed correct! He makes a lot of gestures towards representation but a lot of the times that just means “Cyborg is in this!”

But whatever it’s what soured me on Johns! He was personally a dick to me for what I feel was justified criticism of his work! That’s all I have to add; I’m not surprised he is privately very mean and aggressive!

Doesn't this just make them massively vulnerable to lawsuits if they ever manage to successfully publish a comic?

"Send us all your story ideas, if we ever publish something or somehow, miraculously get a movie deal out of this, there's no chance it will involve an idea we were sent but never paid for."

When JK Rowling was still doing book tours a bunch of fans would try and hand her their fan fiction and there was a guy who's entire job was to make sure Rowling never touched those, because her publisher knew enough to not want to have to deal with a lawsuit because one of the hundreds of thousands of fan fiction writers managed to predict "the hero ends up with the best friend's younger sister who had a crush on him" or whatever.

yeah, I believe DC and Marvel make a point of refusing to accept unsolicited submissions for more or less the same reason, to avoid liability.

In Marvel's case, I think I recall Tom Brevoort mentioning the Thunderbolts/Charcoal debacle as a reason for doing so, though that wasn't quite the same thing (in that case, the issue was a Wizard create-a-character contest where Wizard failed to establish clearly enough that Marvel wholly owned all rights to the winning character)

Speaking of Thunderbolts and contests, wasn't there an issue in which there was (I think) a big fight scene with like 20-30 super obscure villains, and the reader who could name the most of them got ... something?

I know I'm mixed up, because I had it in my head that Charcoal's creator was the winner of that contest, but reading that it was in Wizard, I know I've got to be wrong. But for some reason I could swear there was a fan-created villain in that super obscure lineup thrown in as a stumper.

I know the spread you're talking about. It was the last page of issue #24 and the gotcha villain was from a Hostess Fruit Pie ad.

Thanks, that's exactly it. And I was more mixed-up than I thought: according to this writeup, "Thunderbolts#24-25 was part of a 'name the first appearances' contest".

Not having recognized Icemaster from the Hostess ads, I would have thought that was Jack Frost because I read every issue of the Dwyer/Lim Captain America about a million times when I was a kid (I read the issues drawn by Rik Levins out of loyalty but they looked pretty bad and didn't get reopened nearly as often)

Like 20 years ago I was working with this dude and Pearl Jam came on the radio and I said "ugh, Pearl Jam" and he threw down what he was working on and shouted "THANKS FOR loving INSULTING ME" and stormed out of the store.


This dude was also my best friend at the time and this friendship ended in an explosively bad way so this should have been a red flag.
