Quick Hits: Threshold #1 (DC)

One of the most exciting bits of news I've heard recently is that Larfleeze is getting his own ongoing series.  Larfleeze is Agent Orange, the Orange Lantern, the alien filled with avarice who is sole possessor of the orange spectrum but has populated his "corps" with enough constructs that you might be forgiven to forget that.  He's the best character Geoff Johns created in his Green Lantern run, a regular hoot and a holler, and has previously been featured in his own Christmas one-shot and as a backup in Threshold.

Oh!  This whole thing is supposed to be about Threshold!  Keith Giffen is a legend who has mostly worked at DC, and he's been waiting for a truly signature book that he hasn't had to co-write or use "bwa-ha-ha" as a signature line.  As debuted in the recent Green Lantern Corps annual, the renegade Green Lantern I've dubbed Threshold himself (but that's not really his name) is currently in the midst of a killer reality show known as The Hunted (also the subtitle of a Deathstroke arc I still mean to read some day).

But you really want to read Threshold because of Larfleeze, as proven by the recent news of his own series.  Did I say that already?  I'm feeling a little greedy.  Threshold can only be appreciated for Larfleeze!  Who, by the way, is made speechless with rage (not in a Red Lanterns kind of way, but in a clever caption-y kind of way) when someone steals from him, and not just anything but his battery.

You will read Larfleeze!  Because he collects readers, too.
