How's Ben Percy on Green Arrow?

[Dispenser Of Truth]

I haven't been checking out the current material, but I read his two-part Detective Comics story awhile back, and while I had some issues characterization-wise, it generally impressed me. I know his GA material is at least somewhat contentious - is it worth at least checking out the Green Arrow: Rebirth one-shot, or is it a hard pass?

I like it to an extent, he has good ideas but seems to fail to stick the landing a lot. Definitely proceed with caution. I'm hoping them keeping him on it will give him time to mature as a comic writer, but so far its average imo.

He said on twitter that everything he's written has been lead to this relaunch, which to me, sounds more like he's been saving his best tricks and doing this filler werewolf arc.

Sadly, I think his work has regressed since that two-parter in 'Tec, which I suspect was carried mostly by the AMAZING John Paul Leon art. While I don't think that Percy's GA has been thoroughly terrible (at the very least he throws a lot of stuff against the wall, which makes the book unpredictable, dense and kind of fresh) there's no denying that the book is plagued by bad purple prose narration, confused and/or overly simplistic engagement with social issues and utterly forgettable villains.

I really liked the 2 part 'Tec he did. I've found this GA run to be awful so far...I've suffered through some bad GA but this is right up there IMHO. Still scratching my head why they would give him TT, but willing to give him another shot

I can usually say "its not for me" for every current DC comic but two, this is one of them. Its just that bad.
