The Teen Titans face a schism as Joran gets into Beast Boy's head with her VR tech which gets inside its victim's head. Can Robin get Gar back? Is it a good read?

Here's me hoping that this series continues to impress Green Arrow #38 cover by Juan Ferreyra Loss: Me Not Realizing Green Arrow #38 Was Benjamin Percy's Last Issue and Looking Stupid Sometimes the headline says it all I didn't know at the time that this was Benjamin Percy's last issue I'm not perfect. Captain America #699 cover by Chris Samnee and[...]

Green Arrow is endangered by the long-awaited trial of Oliver Queen. Worse yet, Ollie chooses to defend himself. Does the trial make for a good read?

Red Arrow is hurt badly, and it's up to Green Arrow and Black Canary to save her from Moira Queen, Merlyn, and her own mother, Shado. Plus, the Trial of Oliver Queen nears. Is it a good read?

However, there is some potential in this version of Ollie's mom. It's also nice to see Merlyn come back to the forefront of the comic, even if he doesn't get much space to breathe in this issue. Benjamin Percy has done a lot with the dynamic between Green Arrow and Black Canary in this run of Green[...]

Green Arrow goes on an expedition to retrieve the Queen fortune alongside his believed-dead mother, Moira Queen. Is this a good read?

Of course, that could be a jab at Christmas hypocrisy courtesy of writer Benjamin Percy In any case, this gesture of goodwill does feel a little unearned by the story. Green Arrow Annual #1 art by Eleonora Carlini and Hi-Fi Eleonora Carlini provides the artwork for this annual, and it is some solid work to boot[...]

Hell, Ollie even name-checks Ayn Rand and the concept of "trickle-down economics". There is some action thanks to the Clock King subplot, but it resolves so quickly that it feels out of place in this comic which juggles so many other plots. We also get more of Wendy, and that scene punches you in the gut some[...]

Green Arrow is back in Seattle with a mess to clean up. The trial of Oliver Queen is on, and his mom is back. Does this make for a good comic?

Green Arrow has to work with other heroes in their defense of Gotham City from the forces of the Batman Who Laughs. Is it a compelling read?

PAGE 1: Fleming refers to Bond as a blunt instrument; a weapon So I liked the idea of creating parallelism between his eye and the muzzle of a gun, as they can be considered one[...]

Benjamin Percy brought the book back into glory as well as its liberal roots It's quite satisfying to see him staying on through Rebirth. The politics of Percy's book are not in question This book leans quite heavily on the left side While this is enjoyable for me personally, I would be remiss to say that[...]

Not that the first 20 issues didn't take great efforts to re-establishing Green Arrow as the great liberal hero, and had some wonderful commentary on current political and social events in the world today, but this issue really ramps things up. Benjamin Percy's takes the issue to build things on the macro and the micro scale,[...]

After all, he was briefly introduced in the issue, along with confirmation that he was a new gay character for the DC Universe. Now, with Teen Titans #6 this week the erstwhile character returns, and we have his home-life, history and relationships further expanded while still leaving enough mystery to keep the reader interested.
