scans_dailyThe break-out character from Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run explodes into avaricious action in his own brand-new series!
'Larfleeze is a chance to do a fun comic book, surrounding him with new characters, new villains, new ideas, new sections of the galaxy. New, new, new, new, new, new, new.
'I guarantee six major, new, cosmic villains in the first 12 issues, as well as alien worlds and all kinds of craziness with Larfleeze.'
'And fun. No deep thoughts, no misdirection or trickery. You just come in, there's Larfleeze and look! He's having an adventure, with a bunch of exciting new characters and concepts. At the end of the book, you say, "Yeah, I had a good time reading that book."'
- Keith Giffen
Larfleeze is feeling despondent because enemies have destroyed all his stuff. He's traveled to the edge of the universe to commit suicide. His butler tries to persuade him out of it by giving a pep talk (not least because Larfleeze's powers are the only thing keeping the guy from being killed by the vacuum of space.)
His planet is conquered by alien invaders, and Larfleeze becomes a slave.
The narrative reminds the butler of a question he's been meaning to ask Larfleeze:
Larfleeze kills the dog from within its belly. Then the dog's master shows up, a cosmic being calling himself the Laird of the Hunt. And he's got a bunch of treasure with him.
