Keith Giffen tosses a disgraced Green Lantern into a dangerous intergalactic game. What you won't find in Keith Giffen's new sci-fi series Threshold: Some guy tying his shoes while he thinks about the essence of the universe. What you will find, though, is a dense book full of characters, big concepts and a few deep meanings. "Threshold costs $3.99. I want to make sure you're getting $5.99 worth of content out of it," says Giffen, the writer on the new DC Comics book debuting Wednesday. Like the recently launched fantasy-tinged Sword and Sorcery, Threshold is like a science-fiction version of DC's old Showcase anthology series from the 1950s and '60s that introduced different characters such as The Flash, Green Lantern and Challengers of the Unknown and tried out new ideas to see if they had any traction in the readership. For Threshold, Giffen is rolling the dice on two serialized features. Illustrated by Tom Raney, the main story features the disgraced Green Lantern named Jediah Caul as he's stripped of his powers, thrown into a strange situation and forced to compete on an intergalactic reality TV show/game called "The Hunted." The backup story stars the relentless, greedy Orange Lantern known as Larfleeze, as drawn by Scott Kolins.
