Honestly given how bad writers are these days I’d rather he not have a book.
Modern writers will just frick up everything. Last two instances of Lobo i have seen were a comics, where Lobo has been appointed a Green Lantern due to big bad Red Lantern invasion emergency (it had Starro being made into a Red Lantern, Blue Beetle (or what is his name) with some team of team of randoms, whose ship ended up being on the way of Lobo's bike, some yet another comsic enigmatic omnipotent dude on the flying throne and it most likely has been Injustice) and another comics abour Lobo shitposting on the internet, Superman confronting him, some random quirky "scientist" teleporting girl freeing some YET ANOTHER powerful alien from being underdeveloped, after which this alien had restored Superman's and Lobo's planets, but had send S and L on wrong planets, which ended up with kryptonians invading czarnians. Considering, that Lobohad already started to deteoriate as a character in the latter - no, i don't want new Lobo book made today.
One thing that should be said - Alan Grant was a raging left-wing liberal, and he was totally woke. Despite these faults, he managed to give justice to the character
I'd be on board if the R.E.B.E.L.S. vol2 came back together for more adventures in the Vega sector.
One of the biggest wienerblocks of flashpoint was giving him a red lantern ring then showing the psions making an entire new czarian race from Lobos DNA before resetting everything
I don't remember a lot of him in STAS, but i can safely assume he also couldn't make an entire planet of greedy pseudoarabs with built-in bomb biomechanism to commit suicide by becoming their absolute monarch and making them trigger this mechanism simultaneously. And he definitely couldn't slice and dice his enemies into a bloody gibs with eyes, balls and other body parts flying everywhere. And mosr likely he couldn't kill his own teacher by snapping her neck to ventilate his stress and to annoy Brainiac number whatever (or whoever was in charge of that task force). And in STAS he clearly didn't frick several metric tons of fully naked female population of some planet. And many other things.
What exactly is canon whennit comes to DC they've reset so many times, changed timelines, and came back the previous canons so many times you should consider DC a choose your own adventure series.
Easily best canon is the classic space DC stuff. >starts as just Green Lantern >introduced Omega Men and expanded into their own series >then Adam Strange, Capt. Comet >comes to a head with Invasion! event >Vril Dox and L.E.G.I.O.N are introduced >R.E.B.E.L.S >Darkstars >various lobos minis and the ongoing >various minis and such like Hardcore Station and Rann Thangor >ends on a highnote with the end of R.E.B.E.L.S vol.2 and My Greatest adventure Tanga miniseries
god tier character but like the punisher he works best when he's far away from other main characters. he always needs to be nerfed to hell and back in those scenarios or he'd murder everyone otherwise (pic related was fun tho so it gets a pass)
Picrelated is Garth Ennis. All of his characters are low-tier "common or almost common men, incredibly trained", like Punisher or picrelated Tommy, who work best with threats of their own street/gang/organised crime level, but tend to stretch shit a lot when forced against various supers, who instantly lose their powers, become moronic etc. That is to say, Hitman is a good thing because it mostly tend to keep it within comparable powerlevels with a very few exceptions. It pairs nice with The Demon, as Etrigan tends to be just the thing to handle bigger threats.
I know exactly where that is from. The point was that Lobo is always nerfed when he meets other staple charactyers because anyone short of superman's level would die istantly.
This is also a peculiar case because ennis always jerks his characters off to an ungodly level, like when punisher humiliated spider-man, daredevil and wolverine togheter not once, but three times in the same story. he did the same in hitman showing kyle rayner as a cretin
I always enjoyed those 2 issues where he came to claim a bounty on Atrocious and ended up fighting Atrocious, Hal, Carol, and Sinestro to a draw and then its revealed at the end he was just pulling his punches as he was hired by Atrocious to get them to all work as a team.
GL books stuff tend to be one of the few books that plays lobo for the threat he is. >Guardians explicitly have him on a banned list for a GL ring as his will is strong enough to break any restrictions they have on them >most corps members can't restrain or contain him long as he has top tier will, rage, makes 99% of the Sinestro corps scared, etc. >Hals goto introduction for anyone asking who lobo is is "guy can give Superman a bloody nose in 1 punch"
Young Justice kinda sucks but I love how they did Lobo. He has two appearances, both times he shows up, beats the frick out of everyone, and leaves. Design is cool too.
Did anyone read House of Brainiac? How do they explain Lobo's race being psychos like him? I thought he was the black sheep from a perfect peaceful race?
Brainiac turned them crazy
or they were from the past when Brainiac captured them and back then Lobo's people were buttholes.
I haven't read the newest issue so I don't know if they explain or the writer just doesn't know anything about Lobo's backstory
The early 2000s cartoon with him was awesome
the last time i heard about Lobo was when he turned out to be the fake Lobo and the real Lobo was some twink
Even DC had managed to understand, that this was moronic, so this has been retconned long time ago.
No Giffen, no Grant, no buy.
Basically this and this

I tend to agree. Modern writers aren't on their level.
Lobo would be good in a L.E.G.I.O.N. comic if they ever brought it back
Honestly given how bad writers are these days I’d rather he not have a book.
He was fun in STAS. Like, the only thing he couldn't do was use actual swear words, but he certainly still had the energy.

Only Crush focus now
I liked when he turned Superman's mom into his bimbo fangirl.
And then railed her, finally giving her a good lay
Non canon, also the book was canceled

Speaking of Lobo whatever happened to that one justice league run a few years back with Batman, Vixen, Killer Frost and Lobo in it?

Awful
>posts pennis
frick you too nigg*r (no you can't post that on Cinemaphile, because j@nnies)
Young Justice kinda sucks but I love how they did Lobo. He has two appearances, both times he shows up, beats the frick out of everyone, and leaves. Design is cool too.
Too much red. When there is too much red but in the eyes/stars on his kneepad, blood doesn't contrast as good as it should.
Lobo is best limited to minis and one shots.
Nah, I'd rather have an omnibus. But then again, I have all classic Lobo mini-series
I just bought his MacFarlane action figure at C2E2.
BP.
He's outdated and his concept been perfected by Deadpool and Harley Quinn.
He was a blast in Injustice.
Did anyone read House of Brainiac? How do they explain Lobo's race being psychos like him? I thought he was the black sheep from a perfect peaceful race?

No, actually. I have always loathed Lobo.
