I didn’t know thinking that Geoff Johns is legit great was unpopular.
I think he’s one of the best world builders of this era. Rebirth at the start was the best form the the DCU in over a decade and within 18 months they started ripping it apart out of spite.

Other than Swamp Thing and to a lesser extent Watchmen, a lot of Alan Moore’s work is pretentious garbage. Dude takes comics so seriously he forgets they should be fun.

Kyle Rayner and Jessica Cruz are my favorite Green Lanterns by a wide margin.

Most of mine are Image related, as I haven't read much from the big two since the early-mid 2000s.
Saga has spent as much time being mediocre as it has being good, and is often carried entirely by the stellar art. That being said, they finally seem to have gotten back on track.
The Walking Dead took a nosedive in quality after the prison story arc and never got it back. It was dull for far longer than it was ever good, and none of the random things they tried to do to spark interest hooked me back in.
I'm glad Image has a huge hit on its hands to help them while they deal with The Walking Dead ending and Saga being on an extended hiatus, but Monstress is incredibly dull, or at least the first five issues I read of it were, though the art is gorgeous.
East of West is the best comic ever made and very little I've read comes close, and it bums me at how it seems to have flown under the radar.

Kyle Rayner and Jessica Cruz are my favorite Green Lanterns by a wide margin. Is that unpopular? Kyle has a fanbase that would trade their newborns to see him back as the main GL, and Jessica was the break-out out of the double act with Baz |

Udon have done great work in actually giving the Street Fighter universe a decent backstory to follow up with all the games and so on. They did my guy Dee Jay dirty at times though.

Kyle Rayner and Jessica Cruz are my favorite Green Lanterns by a wide margin. I love that they made her super badass, but I wish they’d get Jessica back to a normal Green Lantern book. Also, did I miss Baz dying or something? That dude has been a complete ghost since Green Lanterns ended |

I'll never understand the snobbery directed toward licensed comics. Is a comic series produced for Marvel or DC really that much better than something produced for Hasbro via Boom or IDW? You're still reading something intended to sell something, in the end.

Also, did I miss Baz dying or something? That dude has been a complete ghost since Green Lanterns ended Jessica definitely deserves her own book! Also....I dont think they have even explained Baz's absence! Which is unfortunate because I liked him a lot! |

Rebirth at the start was the best form the the DCU in over a decade and within 18 months they started ripping it apart out of spite. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Geoff Johns is an excellent writer who just insists on writing stories I don't want to read about characters I don't care about. If you asked him to write a Cass and Steph story and told him to respect their histories, then I think we'd get an amazing story. The problem is he'd rather write a story about Hal and Barry and use it to retcon things back to the status quo of when he was a kid. |

Mad Hatter is underutilized.
It's kinda bullshit that Baby Doll and to a much lesser extent Red Claw didn't also go from B:TAS to the comics like Harley did. Baby Doll would be absurdly easy to adapt in various ways, and Red Claw was just kinda neat.

X-Men should not exist in the same universe as other Marvel properties. Mutants are bad unless its Captain America or Spider-Man who I guess aren't mutants thou how would the public know that because idk.

Spider-Man works better as a complete story where Peter's achieved more in life than an ongoing one where he's still struggling. Just look at how well received Spider-Girl, The Real Clone Saga, Renew Your Vows, the daily strip, and Life Story are compared to everything since JMS left ASM.
I think it can be argued from Spencer's choice of flashback in his first issue of ASM that the JMS era didn't even end with anything written by JMS, but with Matt Fraction's "To Have and to Hold"

You're still reading something intended to sell something, in the end. Part of it is because pre late 90s most licensed titles paid the lowest rates so you got writers and artists that weren't that great. Sure there was exceptions like Bill Mantlo,who made ROM one of Marvels best titles in the 80s. |

Sure you would have some that were good like Rom,Micronants or Johnny Quest from Comico. But then you had crap like most of the Star Comics,huge chunks of Gold Key's output and most of Marvel's Star Wars and Transformer runs. |

Spider-man is a kinda bad example since he's not exactly the most beloved hero usually due to the smear campaign ran against him. |
