Threshold #2

Threshold #2 from DC's New 52 line puts the spotlight firmly on "The Hunted," and Howard Porter's cover makes an immediate impression — Blue Beetle, armored and crackling with energy, clashes mid-air against a powerfully built opponent whose yellow-and-green glowing torso suggests something distinctly dangerous, all while a crowd of spectators watches from a glass-paneled building above. The cover copy confirms that Blue Beetle joins the deadly hunt this issue, written by Keith Giffen with art by Tom Raney, making for a promising combination of cosmic action and street-level grit. Rounding things out, Larfleeze also factors into the mix with his own backup feature, giving readers two compelling threads for a single cover price.
