Some thoughts about Lobo #12

Lobo needs to fulfill his contract but his own head is playing tricks on him.

After being contaminated by a strange drug, Lobo can't help but start having hallucinations and bad memories coming back to him and that could mean danger for also everyone else.

Well, it has been addressed, colour me surprised.

Cullen Bunn delivers a new chapter where he in fact makes a development of the rape that Lobo suffered and uses it in the story to create an effect. Sure, the whole drug plot-point is the one that creates most of the things that Lobo is currently facing but the memories behind it are actually returning and make a lot of sense all things considered. Not a bad job.

That doesn't make the issue good mind you since the narration is still quite derivative most of the time. Lobo continues his tired routine of talking about how good he is without any charm about it. The whole hallucination section is interesting though.

Robson Rocha continues on art duties and his work is still good looking with nice character models and storytelling.

I wouldn't call this issue good, maybe okay and that's only because the author worked with the things he was supposed to.

  1. "Lobo continues his tired routine of talking about how good he is without any charm about it." The guy is all ego and is ruthlessly professional. Does he have to be charming?

  2. Plus, the guy had never been designed to be liked in the first place. It's debatable in terms of whether old Lobo had any charm to begin with, 90s Lobo anyway.
