Green Lantern: Agent Orange is just ok. The actual story was very short, so DC tried to make up for it by putting some more summary stuff at the end of it for the prelude to Blackest Night. It was info we already knew and didn't really introduce anything new. In Agent Orange we learn more about the orange emotional light of avarice, or greed. Agent Orange, aka Larfleeze, is the only physical member of the Orange Lantern Corp. Because of the inherent nature of greed, an orange lantern kills its victim and steals the being, identity and all. Agent orange can then use the identity of its victims to build an exact replica constructs to do its bidding. The indigo lantern corp is referenced as the indigo tribe of compassion, but nothing more is revealed about them. The art was good, but I like Ethan Van Sciver better. I wish I could recommend this book, but I didn't feel it was worth the money. It wasn't even critical to read for back story to the Blackest Night. I'd say pass on it unless you really want to have all back story knowledge available before moving on. Now on to the main event... BLACKEST NIGHT.
