Geoff Johns as CCO is not a bad thing.

As long as Lee stops drawing stuff I'm happy with this. :)

I like to see the occasional Jim Lee comic, his work on Hush was a nice mix of watercolor work and his usual Jim Lee/Scott Williams collaborations.

He sorta already is a CCO along with Grant Morrison. The smart thing is that the title and pay raise will keep GJ at DC for a while.

I've never really understood all the Jim Lee hatred.

Not when there are artists like Tim Sale and Frank Quitely out there putting out truly ugly art and getting praise for it.

I think Jim Lee does some great old school superhero art, and I think his stuff has improved greatly over the years. His work on Hush was pretty awesome.

I don't see Jim Lee doing much to ensure books get out on a timely fashion. I'm lukewarm to his art, but he seems like a likeable guy.

Interesting though. Hasn't Wildstorm basically been treading water for several years? Or are sales up?

Could do without Didio.

I didn't know there was a lot of Jim Lee hatred. He seemed pretty popular last time I checked. I just dislike his work.

Does anyone else think Geoff Johns kind of looks like a cross between Ross and Jay?

I was going for subtlety, there, Bully. Letting the implication sink in on its own. Didn't feel the obvious needed to be spelled out. You know. Aiming for class.

But whatever.

Go read some Rich Buckler comics. You'll feel better.
