Kickin' it with the 'Fleeze

[arbre_rieur]

Keith Giffen's new DC outer space series, Threshold, launched this week. Each issue will feature two ongoing stories: One is "The Hunted," a RUNNING MAN/HUNGER GAMES sort of deal set in Lady Styx's territory. The other is "Larfleeze."





Larfleeze's autobiography:



He's interrupted from his dictation when his ring picks up a news broadcast about the existence of a second Orange Lantern (person, not power battery). He is not pleased.

I still love that the orange lantern symbol resembles a little fat rodent with stubby legs.

"PIka-MIIIINE!"

[beoweasel]

Larfleeze WILL collect them all!

[thormonger]

Alas, poor Larfleeze. You got owned.

Not for long though, this is pretty much how every Donkey Kong Country game begins, And we know how they end.

For a more relevant reference. This is like if Scrooge McDuck got called away on a bogus treasure hunt and came back to find out someone had cleaned out his money bin.

So yeah, Ass kickings are pending.

[thormonger]

The journey should be a fun one, though.

[crinos]

Indeed. Just like a Donkey Kong Country Game or an episode of Duck Tales.

I so want Larfleeze to recreate the steamboat scene from life and times of scrooge McDuck.

Giffen's Larfleeze reads like a cross between Bender and Zapp Brannigan to me.

Which worked out because his scribe read a lot like Kif in that scene.

Needless to say, I loved it.

[thormonger]

I wonder if the Doctor knows Larfleeze took the Tardis.

Also looks like he's got Metron's chair.

I like to think Larfleeze got an actual police box, and is terribly disappointed it doesn't work as advertised...

[crinos]

Now I got this hilarious image of the Doctor going out for some ice cream, then coming back to find four cement blocks where the TARDIS used to be.

Doctor: What?

*Larfleeze comes back*: You know what? I think I'll just keep the Cement blocks. *Flies off with them.*

Doctor: What?

*Larfleezes comes back again.*: And that ice cream. *Steals the Doctors Ice Cream.*

Doctor: .....What?


Hey, maybe its the Doctor who stole Larfleezes stuff To get back at him.

[thormonger]

The Tardis is bigger on the inside, so it's possible the Doctor could have shoved everything into it and vanished. It would be a fun, if unlikely, twist.
