Threshold #8

Threshold #8 arrives at a dramatic turning point for DC's New 52 cosmic saga, with Howard Porter's cover depicting a bearded figure ensnared by swirling green energy constructs — unmistakably Green Lantern in nature — while an alien observer looms in the foreground and crowds gather below on a neon-lit alien cityscape. The cover's bold tagline, "The Death of Caul! Has the Game Ended at Last?", signals that this issue of "The Hunted" is pushing its stakes to the limit. With work from writers and artists including Keith Giffen, Tom Raney, and Phil Winslade, and a bonus Star Hawkins backup story, this is a packed installment of one of 2013's most ambitious space-adventure titles.
