LOBO…as you’ve never seen him before!
Meet the NEW Lobo of The New 52.
DC Comics Editor Bob Harras revealed the new look of the ruthless alien that will debut in Villains Month. Yes, debut. Confused? Will the real Lobo stand up?
“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.”
Watch for the real Lobo next month in JUSTICE LEAGUE #23.2: LOBO by Marguerite Bennett, Ben Oliver, Cliff Richards and Daniel Brown.
