This was everything I’ve wanted a Green Arrow comic to be. He's had an HIV-positive sex worker and recovering heroine addict as a partner and possibly as a lover, for example. Lots of money, issues- superhero on the side. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Enough so that I'm considering going back and reading some New 52 Green Arrow. 1: The Death & Life of Oliver Queen [Green Arrow and his allies struggle to escape an exploding battleship in the middle of the ocean. He's had an HIV-positive sex worker and recovering heroine addict as a partner and possibly as a lover, for example. I have to give color guys a nod because both of them were fantastic. Fucking Rebirth! He's cockyGreen Arrow is a fascinating paradox and an anachronism in the world of superhero comics. His fiction and nonfiction have been published in Esquire (where he is a contributing editor), GQ, Time, Men's Journal, Outside, the Wall Street Journal, Tin House, Glimmer Train, Ploughshares, and the Paris Review. I have to give color guys a nod becau(3.5) i liked the story, art was great I guess I can't complain. A budding relationship with Black Canary forces Ollie to confront the fact that he can't fight "the man" if he is "the man." My first Green arrow and Percy novel and it had its ups and down, more ups though. These titles do not fall under the larger headings above, or were not announced with those titles.By the end of August 2016, all Rebirth titles combined accounted for 12 million units shipped, with 11 issues exceeding 200,000 units shipped, over 60 issues exceeding 100,000 units shipped, and 21 issues having multiple printings.Beginning in January 2017, television commercials aired on "All-Star Batman" redirects here. I've loved him since Justin Hartley depicted him on Smallville. So at the end of the day, I think Green Arrow is in my top 3 favorite D.C. characters.
Be the first to ask a question about Green Arrow, Volume 1 In these strange days of quarantine and isolation, books can be a mode of transport. Still, I never actually felt more than a step behind, and Percy did a fairly good job of keeping me caught up in a fairly natural way. But there are limits Benjamin Percy blithely crossed.I have a kind of personal affection for Green Arrow. Never liked this character, but this kind of changed the way I look at him.I hate to only give two stars to a book with such great artwork, but the efforts of artists Otto Schmidt and Juan Ferreyra are undermined by continuity-induced confusion and an ultimately weak plot from writer Ben Percy.I hate to only give two stars to a book with such great artwork, but the efforts of artists Otto Schmidt and Juan Ferreyra are undermined by continuity-induced confusion and an ultimately weak plot from writer Ben Percy. Man, I really liked this. Everything doesn't need to be resolved in a single page. His fiction and nonfiction have been published in Esquire (where he is a contributing eBenjamin Percy is the author of four novels, The Dark Net (HMH, 2017), The Dead Lands (Grand Central, 2015), Red Moon (Grand Central, 2013) and The Wilding (Graywolf Press, 2010), as well as two books of short stories -- Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk -- and a craft book, Thrill Me: Essays on Fiction. I’ve been a fan of the character pre-dating Arrow but fell off of following him during the DC New 52, save for a little toe dip into Jeff Lemire’s pool. I found this, just OK. My problem with this book is that's there's way too much in it. The dialogue is painfully cheesy and cheap to a point where I caught myself rolling my eyes to nobody but myself. Still, I never I actually really, really liked this. I'm really glad they've gotten back to the original Dinah/Ollie dynamic as I think they are amazing together. MAYBE. Bah.
So we are treated to super-liberal, super-annoying, and super-judgemental holier-than-thou Green Arrow. Which supposes I can forgive a lot of things because of that fondness. We’d love your help.
This is the first Rebirth title to exceed my expectations and make me want more, though I haven't found a dud yet.I've said it before but i don't really give Green Arrow a chance, mainly because whenever he appears in other comics he always come across as a total asshole.I've said it before but i don't really give Green Arrow a chance, mainly because whenever he appears in other comics he always come across as a total asshole.Nicely illustrated (liked Schmidt's issues more) and written in really good way. He's an ultra-wealthy hetero cis white male who hasn't had to work a day in his life, but circumstances led him to fight injustice in Seattle with a bow and trick arrows. The dialogue is painfully cheesy and cheap to a point where I caught myself rolling my eyes to nobody but myself. The writing is lazy and juvenile, and I feel absolutely nothing for any of the main characters. That alone is nothing special, but in the '70s, Neal Adams took him in a very different direction content-wise. DC Comics ended the Rebirth branding in December 2017, opting to include everything under a larger "DC Universe" banner and naming.
The character didn’t feel like Ollie to me and while the writing was good, it didn’t draw me into it as a fan.Benjamin Percy is the author of four novels, The Dark Net (HMH, 2017), The Dead Lands (Grand Central, 2015), Red Moon (Grand Central, 2013) and The Wilding (Graywolf Press, 2010), as well as two books of short stories -- Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk -- and a craft book, Thrill Me: Essays on Fiction. Green Arrow is back! He's not the greatest hero ever, I don't even think he's that popular, but I like him. Oliver Queen has been increasingly involved in the greater DC Universe, as Green Arrow has played a more meaningful role into recent major events. But no. Together again for the first time, the Emerald Archer meets Black Canary. That kind of thing.I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. The Underground Men, the Burned, and The Ninth Circle are all introduced and thrown away by the end of the book. In 2019, Green Arrow #50 will mark the final issue of Oliver Queen's current ongoing series, but the DC Universe still has "wild plans" for the Emerald Archer.
