LOBO

[son_of_arrow]

Does anybody read this kick ass comic? I have mentioned it to several of my "comic lovin'" buds and they have never heard of it.Lousy Bastiches! However, once introduced, They are easily converted to faithfull follower of LOBO and his delightful fraggin's. To those who don't know, LOBO is an interglactic travellin' mean-ass bastard who likes to hang out and be LOBO but someone always seems to try to mess with his plans. He therefore embarks on a journey to the messer of plans and RUINS THEIR SHIT! He once SPOILER




killed almost every living thing on his home planet Czarnia using deadly mosquitos he created in Biology class to tell one signifigant event of his regime of brutal yet terrorizingly funny life.
END SPOILER


Excellent art(Keith Giffen rocks!!) and great stories add to the hilarious dialogue in this DC masterpiece. It is a bummer that DC canned the comic after only 64 issues, but he shows up here and there every time to time. I really hope they do not do a LOBO movie because it would somewhat lessen the mystique of LOBO but if any of you fellow shmoes are interested in checking out this hardcore comic book, I suggest you run out right now and get some LOBO.TO THE MAX!!

[X-Nightcrawler]

Don't know about the comic but "Eat hot lead, ya unnatural dwarf geek suckers!" is the best line in anything like, ever.

[bowieee]

I sort of remember reading the issue when I was a kid where he massacres Santa Claus and all his elves.

If you like Deadpool, you'll like Lobo. Two classics who don't get their just due.

[James Logan]

We don't get Lobo in France, except in really expensive crossovers, and it's probably a shame. I know him mainly from when he crosses over into other series...and I even remember vividly a badass crossover issue starring him and Wolverine, despite him being a DC character and Wolvie a Marvel boy. Maybe it did exist, maybe I just fantasized. But still proves Lobo's a dude you remember.

[UBER_MAX]

Wasn't that crossover the Marvel vs DC one just before the amalgam universe was created? Wolverine beats Lobo in that.

[James Logan]

Could be. Like I said, comic books don't come out here as they do in the US, the series are different, issues are different, titles are different...and it was indeed a long time ago. I just remember a couple of images from it, and yeah, I think I remember Wolvie winning. But Wolvie had to win, or I wouldn't have liked it.

[Underground]

Both those pictures are Draw by Simon Bisley, he did the first limited series "Last of the Czarnian's" and "Lobo's Back" written by the great Alan Grant. Hey also did "Lobo's paramilitary christmas special"

Then him and DC went south...

To Logan, Bisley is from England and he regularly does UK books that don't come out here.

the two Limited series books are available in graphic novel form and even you Logan can get them from Amazon.com or ebay.com.

Also i must say they are adult themed, gorey and violent... kinda why DC hired him

Alan Grant you rock motherfucker!

An excerpt from a Daredevil movie review by the incomparable Maddox:

"What they really need to do is make a movie about the greatest comic book character of all time: Lobo. Not many people are familiar with Lobo because most people are lame and can't comprehend how much ass Lobo kicks. For example, the cover on the right depicts Lobo (also known as "the main man") kicking Santa's ass. Santa did something to piss Lobo off (or nothing, it makes no difference), and Lobo RUINED HIS SHIT. Lobo is a mean son of a bitch and doesn't take shit from anyone. If they made a movie about Lobo, it would start out with Lobo just sitting around looking at porn and minding his own business when some lame-ass comes by and starts nerding all over the place. Lobo takes his knife out and disembowels the guy while he's just standing there. The guy would start screaming because he's a pussy, then Lobo would reach down and rip the guy's lungs out. The rest of the movie would be mostly filled with Lobo wiping out villages of people, yelling at hospital patients and head-butting mimes. Lobo could kick any superhero's ass and it's high time he had his own movie."

I personally haven't read any Lobo comics, but that review has me convinced that Lobo does indeed rule, and there should be a movie.

[teenkiller]

I never actually read any of the Lobo comics but I had his collectors card and when I was a kid I thought he was just about the biggest bad ass you could be. There was no way you could convince me that he would lose in a fight to Wolverine. I mean this guy murdered his entire race making himself the sole survivor. If that ain't hardcore I don't know what is. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[Leloup]

Lobo's the main man! He kicks ass! he had a brain surgery so he could hear the same heavy-metal song in his head all the time!!
let's not forget when he uses the bat-suit in that glorious elseworlds issue!

[teenkiller]

That's out of this world! What song did he want to hear on an eternal loop anyways? Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[Leloup]

Guess it's a made-up song by a made-up band... let's not forget Lobo's and extraterrestrial!

[chasingbanky]

LOBO > Fucking Chuck Norris.

He's like Dog the bounty hunter except from space, and instead of preaching to crackheads in the back of his truck he just vaporizes everything he comes across.
