A beautiful old-school cosmic adventure. Still not a fan of relentless voice over. I like story told in character and dialogue. But I did enjoy when it’s revealed who the narrator is. It’s a fitting bombastic ending and although flawed is a fun, brisk ride.

A solid ending to a storyline that perhaps extended too far.

This whole thing goes a little more cosmic and weird than I wanted at the end, but at its heart it’s another really good super zombie tale from Taylor and Hairsine.

I’m all in on the return of crusty biker Lobo and his resurgence.

In the anals (I know that may strike you as being incorrectly spelled, but I assure you, it’s correct) of DC blunders, slim, emo Lobo has to be one of the more inexplicable ones.

Were we courting the audience of chicks who like Edward Cullen and Legolas? Which is fine, but did we think LOBO was that gateway character?

The first Lobo story I read involved him being killed, eaten by snails, shit out by said snails, and then being stitched back together by his healing factor.

There have to be dozens of better options. Off the top of my head:

1. Nightwing: slam dunk.
2. Animal Man: young him up, and he’s catnip for the furry crowd.
3. Booster Gold: dude time travels, so just make him a young influencer or whatever.
4. One of them Legion kids. Take your pick.
5. Nightwing again. Because c’mon, it’s right there.
6. Plastic Man: he could easily identify with the challenges of modern beauty standards.
7. Deadman: just make him a little sexier, less rot-y.
8. Swamp Thing: guy is a nice set of teeth away from being a total hunk.
9. Superboy: I think he’s gay now(Superman’s son is gay, not sure if he’s Superboy, though). But that doesn’t mean he can’t be the target of crushes.
10. Damian Wayne: dark past, lithe figure. It’s all there.
11. Mercury from the Metal Men: why not?
12. That Uncle from the Marvel Family: get the man in a crossfit gym.
