An outer space hard case blasts his way into his Villains Month stand-alone!
This is not the Main Man Lobo fans were expecting!
When DC Comics Editor-In-Chief Bob Harras revealed these sketches for Lobo’s new look for his The New 52 fans were scratching their heads, confused and some were not giving thumbs up to he leaner, more “pretty boy” vision of Lobo (see below.)
“The Lobo you’ve seen so far in the New 52 is not who you think he is. In this one-shot, you’ll be introduced to the real Lobo. A ruthless killer, Lobo is on a quest to kill the man who has taken his name. This Lobo is equal parts strong, vicious, and driven. There’s a darker and more logical idea about what a force of nature like him is capable of. After all, this is someone who can infiltrate high society, fly a space ship, and adhere to a very specific moral code that’s not your typical anti-hero one. Oh, and, this one-shot takes place very far away from Earth. And when I say very far away, I mean it takes place literally on the other side of the galaxy. There was a lot of thought put into how the real Lobo should look. Kenneth Rocafort’s various interpretations blew us away, but the design we landed on as the final choice is the last one in the above gallery. In this design, Ken updated Lobo’s facial tattoos and weaponry by adding laser edges to his blades and gloves that’ll give him extra strength with their mechanical usage. In the end, Ken transformed Lobo into a lean, mean killing machine,” said Harras.
Will the real Lobo please stand up? The answers are coming in Justice League #23.2 Lobo out Wednesday.
