If thereās one character that has had a strange life in DCās The New 52, itās the intergalactic anti-hero Lobo. The character appeared in a number of issues of DeathstrokeĀ just before aĀ prettier version debuted in last yearās Justice League #23.2 claiming to be the ārealā Lobo and on the hunt for the previously seen āimposter.ā
Now, DC Comics has revealed that Lobo will be getting his own comic series this October which will see the two Lobos finally come face to face. Writer Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Sinestro) will pen the new series with artist Reilly Brown (Cable & Deadpool
āThe ārealāĀ Lobo is the star of our series,ā Bunn said in an interview with CBR. āAnd I think he gives us a lot more mileage for new stories and avoiding some of the dangers of the āone trick ponyāā¦. Thereās so much we donāt know about this character, because weāve only seen him very, very briefly.ā
Bunn confirmed that the series will see the two characters, the āRealā Lobo and Faux-boĀ (as theyāve been calling him), coming to blows very early in the series. He also revealed the first arc, which will run for six issues, will be mostly one-and-done stories featuring Lobo on the trail of different assassins.
Lobo #1 will be available October 1st.
