A friend linked me to this yesterday, and I just had to share. Written and drawn by some guy who works in a comic book shop, Our Valued Customers is a webstrip in which he quotes actual things he's heard his customers say.

i don't think there is anything Geoff Johns has written that i haven't liked... really i kinda like it all...

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah--he's not the best dialogue writers ever, but he's really good at creating characters and deep, layered mythos.

deep, layered mythos.

I can only assume you're talking about the Geoff Johns who existed before Superboy Prime retcon-punched him out of continuity to be replaced with his shouty, badly characterized lookalike.

Good talk.

Seconded. I mean, some of his stuff is better than other parts, but by and large he's amazingly consistent and awesome.
