Exclusive Interview: Keith Giffen Talks Larfleeze And Mystery Project

Keith Giffen, one of the most beloved writer/artists of the last thirty years in comics, will reteam with his most recognizable collaborator–writer J.M. DeMatteis–and former Flash artist Scott Kolins to bring fans Larfleeze, an ongoing, monthly series that readers will presumably snatch greedily from newsstands while shouting “Mine!”Part of an ambitious rebranding of the Green Lantern line following the departure not only of best-selling writer Geoff Johns but also of every writer who’s been working with him since the launch of the New 52, Larfleeze is the first new #1 of the post-Johns era, and the first attempt at an ongoing series headlined by the Orange Lantern (although he has been starring in backup features in the Giffen-written Threshold for the last few months).Giffen joined ComicBook.com to discuss the series, as well as another, as-yet-unannounced project that he confirms he’s working on with DeMatteis and their longtime artistic collaborator, Kevin Maguire (with whom the pair have collaborated on, among other things, a handful of variations on the Justice League International they founded in 1988).
