Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Geoff Johns is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, film and television producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur known for re-imagining superheroes and other iconic mythologies, past and present. Johns is best known for his work on properties such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, Superman, Batman, Justice Society of America, and most recently, the creator-owned hit series Geiger, currently being adapted for television at Paramount.

Since the beginning of his creative career, Johns' hallmark has been writing heroic and inclusive characters, including teenage hero Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl, inspired by his real-life late sister; the Shazam Family, which he re-imagined into a diverse modern family of today; and the first Arab-American Green Lantern, Simon Baz, as well as the explosive multi-colored Lantern mythology that defined his decade-long bestselling Green Lantern run, among many, many others.

Johns’ most recognized work in television is the critically acclaimed Stargirl series which he created and ran. Some of his film credits include Wonder Woman (executive producer), Wonder Woman 1984 (also co-writer), Aquaman (also story) and Shazam! (executive producer), based on his graphic novel with longtime collaborator and modern legendary artist Gary Frank.

In 2023, Johns co-founded Ghost Machine, the first-of-its-kind creator-owned company. This groundbreaking collective includes some of the industry’s most legendary writers and artists, disrupting the old industry model by giving ownership to its creators, and paving the way for them to retain creative control and financial participation.

Born in Detroit to a Lebanese father, Johns was honored with his own permanent section at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Blackest Night: From The Green Lantern's Perspective

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

The Blackest Night event is, without a doubt, one of the greatest Green Lantern themed crossover events for the entirety of the DC universe, if not THE greatest of all time. While there is another book out there that covers the entire event as it played out for the Justice League as a whole, this book primarily focuses on the Green Lantern story threads, giving you more story elements to enjoy if you've already read the other Blackest Night Saga collection. While it is not an absolute must-buy, fans of Green Lantern and the Green Lantern world-building will enjoy having this in their collection.

Saying this is a key tie-in is saying it lightly

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2010

Verified Purchase

Multiple tie-in's to comic book mega-events are nothing new, but tie-in's that are actually worth your time and expand the main story are something of a rarity indeed, at least to me anyway. With Blackest Night, DC's latest collected mega-event, writer Geoff Johns creates a new Lantern Corps that is composed of deceased heroes and villains, and threaten to destroy all existence as we know it. This tie-in features issues from the main Green Lantern title which ran parallel to Blackest Night, and fleshes out much more of the main story as well. From witnessing Green Lantern villain Black Hand's disturbing admission into the Black Lantern Corps, to Hal Jordan and Barry "The Flash" Allen tangling with the resurrected Martian Manhunter, to Hal teaming up with arch-nemesis Sinestro and other various Lantern Corps, and a showdown between the posessed Spectre and a Paralax-possessed Hal; Green Lantern: Blackest Night isn't just smashing, it's essential. Doug Mahnke provides a majority of the pencil work here, and does a more than fine job in doing so as well. Since Johns brought Hal Jordan back from the dead and re-launched the Green Lantern title, he's done virtually no wrong during his run on the title, and that trend continues. After reading this, and Blackest Night, you'll be hoping that his run never comes to an end.

Awesome Volume that Ties into Blackest Night

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

Johns uses the Green Lantern title to provide a cosmic glance at what was happening to all the various Corps members prior to their team-up at the finale of Blackest Night. While the Justice League holds back the undead hordes on Earth, Green Lantern and Indigo-1 travel to collect the leaders of each one of the other Corps including Sinestro, Atrocitus, Saint Walker, Carol Ferris, and Larfleeze. The War of Light is actually the bigger story arc of this volume until the Blackest Night takes precedence and the Corps must set aside their differences for the sake of all life. Once the unlikely group arrives back on Earth we get to see a bit more of their battle against Necron and a bit more from the various Earth heroes and villains who are deputized during the Blackest Night finale (like Star Sapphire Wonder Woman or Sinestro Corps Scarecrow). We also get to see the conclusion of the fight between Black Lantern Specter and Hal Jordan (who momentarily goes full Parallax again to fight off the giant Black Lantern).

Without This Book Blackest Night Makes Little Sense

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

I gave Blackest Night four stars because it was pretty much relentless action almost from beginning to end and I felt readers need the occasional breather. It also seemed to be incomplete, missing a lot of back story with events happening with no resolution. Having read THIS book (confusingly ALSO called Blackest Night) it's clear to me that the actual story is interlaced between the core Blackest Night series and the ongoing Green Lantern series and possibly the Lantern Corps series. Reading just one book leaves a ton of questions open. For example in Blackest Night the Spectre is taken over by the Black Lantern Corps and then... nothing. In this book the Spectre is a member of the Corps with no explanation and has a HUGE impact. You need both books to make sense of it. This book offers up the back story on how the various lantern corps joined together to fight the Black Lanterns. As much as Blackest Night needs this book this book needs Blackest Night even more.

The fact of the matter is that I enjoyed this collection more than the Blackest Night mini-series itself and that may be because I read this second and it felt a lot more complete. Since it's from the Green Lantern series it's much more Lantern Corps centric featuring the ongoing fighting between the seven colored corps including battles between Atrocious and Larfleeze and Sinestro and Carol Ferris so on. One question I had was how come Larfleeze seems to have diminished in power since I last read about him. In previous books he was supposedly as powerful as an entire corps with his amazing 100,000% fully powered ring but now he seems about on par with Atrocious or Sinestro. Mongul makes a fantastic appearance in a dual with Sinestro. When the Black Lanterns finally start pouring forth all the corps are forced to put aside their differences just to stay alive.

Besides the Spectre this collection also spends more time on the new ring wielders and I won't reveal who they are but they are well established DC characters with personalities to match the rings. There is a major appearance by Parallax that I don't remember being mentioned in the Blackest Night and Hal Jordan makes a desperate decision that seems unlikely given his past. This book also features Sinestro after his dramatic transformation but never shows how it happened. The point I'm trying to make is that if you intend to only get one of the two books you're going to get a very muddled, incomplete story and you can drop my review score down at least one star. If you get both it's a very good story but even then I wouldn't put it amongst the all time greats in the history of comics. Geoff Johns may have gone to the well a few too many times milking the same themes over and over again. Yes, we know that Hal feels shame over his time under the control of Parallax and we all know the Sinestro is still pissed that Abin Sur gave his ring to Jordan but we really need to get past these things and move on.

The Blackest Night series as a whole doesn't really have the big event feel of other DC big events because it occurs over a very short period of time and consists of little more than a lightning strike by the Black Lanterns that I estimate is resolved within a day or two in comic book time. It also focuses on a much smaller group of characters than other events. This collection is mainly about Hal, Sinestro, John Stewart and to a lesser extent Carol Ferris, Atrocious and Larfleeze (who always rocks). One final thing to note is that this book does not have an ending; you have the read the main Darkest Night book to get that.

An awesome read!

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2013

You need to read this along with the Blackest Night compilation, it fills in a lot of the story line. Ideally you'll end up wanting to read all the Blackest Night tie-ins, but this is a crucial one. To see all the colours of the Spectrum fighting alongside each other for the sake of Earth and the entire universe is wonderful and awe-inspiring. It demonstrates even the Orange, Yellow and Red lights, often deemed evil, can be used towards the greater good, even though their individual motives may not be all that good. I don't know why I haven't read this sooner. Awesome writing, great storyline, great action, great artwork! -Waiting on my Indigo ring!

Be prepared to buy the regular Blackest Night at the same time or the story is incomplete, there's a bunch of idiots who didn't know that before, don't be one of them.

Anyway... DAMN! What a day or night it was, If you're even slightly interested in GL then obtain this in anyway you can, and I do mean ANY WAY! ;)

Sono partito da BN per cominciare a leggere green lantern dato che il reboot rebirth faceva troppi riferimenti a BN e BD ( che spero di poter leggere presto). Il massimo della goduria è stato leggere green lantern BN , BN e BN : tales of the corps grazie ad una guida che suggeriva come passare tra un volume e l'altro per seguire la trama cronologicamente.

Love the green lantern universe it's all pure scifi

Outstanding tale and artwork. Love the green lantern universe it's all pure scifi, and this tale is of the highest order
. Is part of a much larger series and I would recommend that you read the whole series to get the most out of it. It's not really a good starting point for someone new to the characters, you wouldn't be able to pick up the relationships they have with each other nor their history.

The artwork is outstanding and deserves the highest praise possible.
