    Ok so Green Arrow has been through two writers so far in the New 52 and both runs have ranged between bad and horrible but with GA's up coming TV series I highly doubt the book is in any danger of getting cancelled but it does badly need a new creative team. I think Kyle Higgins and Trevor McCarthy would own this book and I hope DC see sense and make it happin. So who would you like to see take on the Emerald Archer in the New 52?

    Haven't been happy with Green Arrow since Mike Grell was on words and art, so MIKE GRELL.

    I agree, Kyle Higgins would be great for writing. Along with Higgins, my choice for artist would be Philip Tan.

    And neither one is really busy right now. Diggle is just editing and writing 2000AD and working on an upcoming creator-owned series with Jock who's just finished with his Scalped covers.

    I had to stop reading it when she came on, it's so incoherent and none of it makes any sense

    Agreed and agreed. I wouldn't be able to read it though, due to my body exploding with joy and excitement at the time of announcement.

    @Jonny_Anonymous: Issue 10 onwards really got it going. I think the first 3 issues, she was trying to be a little witty and all. But I still do kinda like the first 3 issues.

    I don't like her crazy storys, I thought New 52 Green Arrow was meant to all be about crime and politics not random trips to the artic for no reason

    I really dislike him, but I think Kevin Smith actually does a very good job with Green Arrow. If he wrote and really any of the decent artists drew it might be pretty good.

    The art really is terrible. Sloppy and he just looks retarded most of the time. Not sure why they got rid of his goatee. I always thought that it was a bit ridiculous that no one worked out that the blond masked guy with the goatee was the same person as the blond millionaire with a goatee. But having said that - I do think GA is so much cooler with the goatee

    Greg Rucka and Dustin Nguyen. I just dropped Green Arrow after the last issue which I thought was terrible (both art and writing) . I liked Nocenti on her Daredevil run and X-men run but she isn't doing to well on this title, the dialog is particularly awful.
