I like Geoff Johns' writing. Yes, it definitely has its feet firmly in the Silver Age, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I enjoy his character development and interractions. I like the action sequences. And I like that his stories have forced my to do my research on certain characters, which gives me a better appreciation for both Geoff's stories and those that have come before (Wagner's Dr. Midnite, anyone?).

The only gripe I have is when he tries to insert Silver Age continuity where there is none. His stories about the Flash taking on Brother Grimm annoyed me because Grimm's origin is from back in the Silver Age. I did my research and was kinda bummed when I discovered that Geoff's origin never happened. It's almost as if he uses people's lack of knowledge about Silver Age (and the difficulty in getting Silver Age back issues or reprints) against the reader. It's what is making me skeptical about the current Identity Crisis/Top storyline - did the Top really act as a hero for a while, or is it another example of Geoff creating Silver Age continuity to fill a need?
