No, he's not writing for Marvel... yet. From the latest LiTG: I understand that Marvel have been playing wargames on how to persuade Geoff Johns to jump ship at the end of his contract (over a year away) and what to do with him when they get him, so expect to see DC Comics fight back pre-emptively…
DC would be fools to let him go. He is their best writer. He brings an enthusiasm to these characters that hardly anyone does and I think he's the master of mixing the silver age with the modern. But... if Marvel do manage to get him, what comics would you like to see him on?
I know he's done The Avengers before and I don't think many people liked it. I wouldn't mind seeing him do a Spider-Man comic, but with this current Brand New Day team situation thing, I don't see that happening, unless he became one of the rotating writers. Maybe Fantastic Four when Millar leaves? I know he's mentioned he'd like to write them and the Hulk too.
I would rather he stay at DC though. He is pretty much the main reason why I read DC Comics. Marvel have some great creative teams... I'm pretty sure Johns will stay at DC, especially since he can do what he wants.
