The Story

Lobo is back in his new life, and Skottie Young shows the pros and cons of being a star! Continuing his new life of being a superstar with Omni Omega+ Entertainment Corp, it’s time for Lobo to suit up and start his new reality show. They put Lobo in a new suit, which he isn’t pleased with, and take him on his first bounty. Little did Lobo know, it wouldn’t be so cut and dry as it usually is when handling a bounty the way he normally would. Lobo realizes the bad parts of being a reality star.

Skottie Young continues Lobo’s story, and there’s no word to describe this other than “fun”. Lobo himself is a fun character, but Young can write him a story that has the perfect balance between humor and action. With mannerisms and sayings that are so authentically Lobo, it was an absolute blast to read him being censored by his bosses. I’m very excited to see what Skottie Young has in store for the next issue!

The Art

Jorge Corona, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Nate Piekos come together to make this second issue of Lobo a wild read in the best way possible. Corona provides so many intricate details to each page, which pushes the feeling of chaos even further than Lobo himself could. Beaulieu makes each page full of vibrancy and works really well off of Corona’s detail work. Piekos handles the lettering and provides excellent sound effects that make you feel like you’re in the story, witnessing it all for yourself. Together, the artists knocked this out of the park!

Final Thoughts

Lobo #2 is a crazy, fun time that continues the excitement Skottie Young set up in the first issue.

Overall Grade – 9/10
