Another reread for Goodreads.This acts as a great lead in to the Blackest Night event. We also get introduced to the Orange Light of Avarice and it’s Lantern Larfleeze, who is a Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) type villain. What with everything going on at the moment, the orange light must be strong.We also get some of the other colours of lantern show up, which is pretty cool. And a very epic moment involving titular Green Lantern Hal Jordan. As previously stated this is a prequel to the Blacke...

This volume sees the introduction of Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern. I find it odd that you see all these new color lanterns popping up all at once after having never been mentioned for so long, but the stories are good enough I can overlook things. This also is a lead in to Blackest Night, which looks awesome. This Geoff Johns run has been the best run of Green Lantern Ive read, and really one of the best runs of any comic I've read for that matter.

My least favorite of the lead-ups to Blackest Night. You get Larfleeze's origin story. Sorry, not interesting. The rest of it felt like a rehash of other stuff I'd already read.

Following on from 'Rage of the Red Lanterns', Hal Jordan struggles with his blue and green power rings as the War of Light begins in earnest. Then, in the forbidden Vega system, an ancient enemy is awoken who wields the orange light of avarice and covets Jordan's blue ring.Part of the Prelude to Blackest Night, this book introduces another new lantern corps, albeit one with a difference. Unfortunately, where the introduction of the new corps was really interesting at first, here you can't help b...

Even better than Sinestro Corps War, only one I think was better was Vol.6 secret origin. This one sets up blackest night as does rage of the red lanterns vol.7 and the 2 GL Corps books. Larfleeze was an amazing villain in this book and was introduced very well, I’ve only read comics in the new 52 with Larfleeze and let me say they ruined him on there. Larfleeze was a frightening villain in this book (but not terryfing) the perfect villain type imo. Larfleeze in the new 52 is presented as a goof...

This was a lead-up to the big Blackest Night event. It's very short, and the sole purpose is to introduce Larfleeze and the Orange Lanterns. Orange Lantern, really, as Larfleeze is too greedy to allow anyone else to have an orange ring. Orange being the light of greed, you see. Considering that I read Blackest Night before I got my hands on Agent Orange, I can say with confidence that one can read and understand Blackest Night, and Larfleeze and his role there, without having read Agent Orange.

It’s dangerous to mix lanterns and oranges! This TPB edition contains “Green Lantern” #38-42, and an excerpt from“Blackest Night” #0. Featuring the “Agent Orange” event.Creative Team:Writer: Geoff JohnsIllustrators: Philip Tan, Ivan Reis, Dou Mahnke, Eddy Barrows & Rafael Albuquerque ONE RING TO CONQUER THEM ALL Well, let’s be honest, in a comic book title where all the main characters wear rings, and nowadays, more than ever, with more color corps, there are now a huge bunch of characters

While Larfleeze is not my favorite character by a long shot, his introduction as the Orange Lantern in this volume is a great addition to the emotional spectrum of the Green Lantern mythos. The showdown between Hal Jordan and Larfleeze as they struggle for a ring of the Blue Lanterns is a lot of fun to read.

I'll be honest, the main reason I picked up this comic is that I've been reading Green Lantern/Flash fanfics this week. XD XD XDI really like the concept of the Blue Rings of Hope and the motto about 'hope needs will' and the Blue Ring actually made me LOL when it said 'All will be well' upon its departure in the end. This Ring really is hopeful, right? XD XD XDThe artwork really isn't my cup of tea---the characters are drawn finely but I just don't like the bright coloring. Yet the story does m...

What can I say? I love avarice.The rest of the premise is holding my attention quite firmly, and I love the rainbow corps. The only thing that's missing is a bunch of raggedy and bloody unicorns. Maybe when Blackest Night finally gets unleashed?

In the Lantern mythology, the Green Lantern Corps has always been forbidden to act in an official capacity in the off-limits Vega System.In this book, we found out why: there is yet another light of the emotional spectrum that burns there, the orange light of true greed, and the Guardians of the Universe want to keep its existence a secret. Geoff Johns continues to impress by introducing another Lantern, Agent Orange aka Larfleeze, the sole keeper of the Orange Lantern, who happens to be one of

I've been waiting to read more about Larfleeze for a while now as he is one of the more interesting lanterns due to his unique powers. A bit disappointing that he wasn't focussed on as much as I would have hoped but it does help explain why the whole vega system was off limits to green lanterns and also shows how Sinestro's plan is playing out exactly as he planned.

5 🌟The Green Lanterns fight Larfreeze.

Not since G'nort showed up in the late 80s has a cartoony character been introduced into regular continuity and utilized so well as in the case of Larfleeze. Being part of the Prelude to Blackest Night, Agent Orange introduces the Orange Lanterns and their owner, a bestial glutton that (despite everything about it) quickly becomes a favorite character. The fact that both the aforementioned G'nort and Larfleeze were both introduced through Green Lantern canon is a testament to how versatile the c...

Another great Green Lantern graphic novel leading up to the Blackest Night. In this graphic novel, Agent Orange, Larfleeze, is introduced... thus the whole of the Orange Lanterns is introduced. I know, it sounds a little confusing, but you just have to read the graphic novel to understand. Spoilers, you know. I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I just can't wait to get to the Blackest Night!

This was so fun! A tale of Green Lanterns fighting Larfleeze aka Agent Orange aka the most greedy being alive in this universe. The guardians made a deal with him to not harm anything and when the controllers free him, he attacks Oa and thus in return the GLC along with guardians attack him and Hal still has that blue thing attached with him and the fight and there are interesting moment and we learn what the real power of Larfleeze is and all the more, and Hal becomes one too for a time being b...

Orange = AvariceA must read. If you liked The Hobbit this entry is very similar in many ways. Agent Orange aka Larfleeze is a cross between Gollum and a werewolf. The art is vivid and well done. If only the same artist had been chosen for the Green Lantern Corps preludes to Blackest Night.

it's been a while since i've read anything from green lantern so i was a bit worried i might not get what was happening when i started this. i have this on my shelf i think for a year now and only gotten to read it today.So thoughts:• it's pretty straightforward. it introduced the agent orange, Larfleeze freakin weird name i keep forgetting.• gives you more reason to hate the guardians.• i am not well-read on green lanter myth so i wasn't aware that there were other lanter colors aside from gree...

Every time I read Geoff Johns Green Lantern (as well as Green Lantern Corps) I keep thinking of that old acronym Roy G. Biv, which tells us the different colors of the visible color spectrum as they appear in a rainbow. After all, Johns has introduced readers to an entire color spectrum of power rings that was insinuated by Silver-Age Green Lantern writer John Broome (although whether Broome realized it himself is unlikely--he only came up with the yellow rings and what would eventually become t...

Yet another color of the emotional spectrum lights up the DC universe, illuminating both the hidden truths of the Guardians’ past and the black shadow looming over their future.Geoff Johns’ writing for Green Lantern may not be particularly subtle, but I can’t deny it just *works* for me. Expanding the basic idea of Green Willpower and Yellow Fear already long established in the DC Universe into a whole range of colors and powers is just such an incredibly *cool* concept. And it is done by both b...
