I know lots of people hated his work on GL, but I for one loved it. What do you guys think?

I think his Larfleeze is the most true to the character.

I think his Larfleeze is the most true to the character.

His Larfleeze was much more menacing; but, when Tan was drawing him, Larfleeze wasn't just played for laughs.

As I said in another thread before I expected Larfleeze to be a character for laugh from the get go

Exactly, in his first appearances he was a legit threat but Johns has made him into a laughingstock.

I didn't like it. I thought it was sloppy. Tan can draw a mean Larfleeze, but his humans left MUCH to be desired in Agent Orange... and Hal shouldn't look like he's on acid.

What made you think that? He was pretty hardcore at first.

I think Johns always wanted him to be comedic relief. I never saw fleeze as otherwise. Anytime you asked him to talk about Larfleeze he described him as a dirty muppet. Sorry to say none of that screamed bad ass to me from the jump.

I remember those interviews. Johns seemed to really enjoy writing him as comic relief. But, to me, he still seemed pretty dangerous during the first arc when he completely destroyed the Controllers, took on a whole group of Lanterns and Guardians, and was portrayed as massively powerful.

Anyway, back on topic. Tan is a good artist, but I think his AO arc was a bit sloppy. Maybe it was a deadline thing. The inking didn't help either.

The inking was a little too raw for my taste, but his drawing and the colors were epic to me.

It was only okay. I didn't really like it. I definitely didn't like his arc on Batman and Robin.

Phillip Tan is terrible.

His arc on Batman and Robin was awful.
