Show Notes
Larfleeze Navidad! Just in time for the holidays, we unwrap not one but TWO tales featuring everyone's ... favorite? ... DC Comics ring-slinger, Larfleeze, with a look at Green Lantern Vol 4 #39-42 and Green Lantern: Larfleeze Christmas Special!
First, Hal Jordan struggles to wield the blue light of hope as he and the rest of the space cops in the Green Lantern Corps face off against the menacing (and somewhat comical) Larfleeze, wielder of the orange light of greed!
Next, in a lighthearted change of pace, Larfleeze seeks vengeance on Santa Claus when the jolly old elf skips his house on Dec. 25!
Can Hal Jordan unlock the sinister secret of his avaricious new adversary—and teach him the true meaning of Christmas?
And can these salmon-tinged stocking stuffers find their way under the tree of graphic goodness known as ... The Comics Canon?
