Lobo #2

(w) Skottie Young (a) Jorge Corona

Space, Spacetober 2X, 2026 / SpacePRwire — In a move many are calling “prescient” and “a VC thirst trap”, a content industry leader has acquired a series of bounty hunting businesses and exclusive rights to their contractors’ likenesses, voices, and victims while retaining full indemnity for any crimes committed thereby. Lobo will be the jewel in the company’s crown, with the world-famous multi-hyphenate “Main Man” set to star in an ∞-season reality series documenting his exploits. Fans can look forward to Lobo’s interactions with Detective Comics’ rich portfolio of characters and franchises, such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

Mad About DC doesn’t hold back and makes us miss Mad Magazine

Posted on by

Chip Zdarsky is a funny guy. Remember when he made that whole April Fools’ gag comic with rub ’n’ smell farts? Oh, wait, that was me, DC Comics E-I-C Marie Javins. Chip was the one saying, “I’d turn back if I were you,” but he couldn’t stop me. Editors are a self-destructive lot. Which is why this year, I said, “I give up, you do it, Chip, you are so much funnier and prettier and also better with cats than I am.” And look, he went and did it. Chip demoted himself to “editor.” Chip is turning the DC universe on its ear and bringingyou savage mockery of all we hold dear, and he is assisted in this brutal task by Matt Fraction, Gail Simone, Skottie Young, and many, many more. Next year? Back to farts. Includes MAD favorite Sergio Aragonés with “A MAD Look at Comic Book Stores,” “Guy vs. Spy” by Jim Zub and Ramon Perez, and a DC Fold-In by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne. Plus a slew of MAD-style parodies of all DC Comics you hold dear, and some you’ve always hated anyway. MAD About DC #1 will fulfill your every comic book dream, or at least three or four of them.

Lobo #1 feels like a comic from a different time

Lobo #1

VRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMMMM! The Main Man’s back, baby! And his ride is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound, but only if that sound is a rippin’ guitar solo, and you better hop on before he leaves you in the dust with all the bastiches he’s fragged for money or convenience! The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe. It’s a guts-soaked path from DC K.O. to the end of the universe, where Lobo is going to scratch his name and number in the Source Wall with a cool knife. Don’t miss the mayhem, special guests, or tasty, tasty continuity! Don’t you do it! Lobo #1 is entertaining but feels like a comic from a different time.

Written by Skottie Young, Lobo #1 is an intriguing comic in that it doesn’t feel like something that fits in the 2020s but more the 2000s. Lobo has been a character I’ve enjoyed for a long time. I regularly read the numerous releases in the 90s and its exagerated insanity. Lobo #1 delivers that, it nails that time and craziness. The story though feels like something that’s a bit of a throwback in some ways with a focus on reality tv and slimy television studios.

The comic definitely has an awareness about itself, running through the history of the main man including that that time he looked like he joined a boy band (best not to discuss that). But, the its premise, which will absolutely work, doesn’t feel like it’s a riff and mockery of today’s influencers and click bait but instead stuck in the mockery of reality tv, which feels a bit dated. Still with Young writing, it’s sure to be entertaining.

The art by Jorge Corona perfectly captures the look of classic Lobo stories with color by Jean-Francois Beaulieu and lettering by Nate Piekos. The comic takes everything to the extreme and it’s fun to see the comic and Lobo’s influence on so many comics today. Visually, the comic feels so much like what I remember from the 90s with a Heavy Metal vibe and kinetic and chaotic mix of visuals. There was never anything subtle about Lobo visually and the comic keeps of the tradition of what has come before.

Lobo #1 feels like coming home for long time fans and readers. The comic captures the comic’s past look but delivers a story that feels like it belongs in the past too. It may show off some potential with a bit more updated jabs, but to kick things off, the first issue feels like it was dusted off from another time for both good and bad.

The Future Reclaims Bishop in a New Solo Series!

Posted on by

Bishop, the energy-absorbing powerhouse X-Man, hails from one of mutantkind’s darkest futures. This June, that future comes back to bite in Bishop, an all-new five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and art by Mario Santoro.

In the series, Bishop finds himself in a fight against fate when the Final Brotherhood, a new group of villains originating from his future, journey to the past to end his time in the present once and for all. In order to stop them and prevent further disruption of the timeline, Bishop will team up with his sister Shard, a fan-favorite character who starred in ‘90s X-Factor as well as previous Bishop solo series, whose tragic fate haunts Bishop to this day. Similar to recently launched solo X-titles like Rogue and Cyclops, BISHOP promises to deliver a thrilling, standalone saga that encapsulates the heart and history of the character—all while putting them through the ringer on their most challenging and legacy-defining missions yet!

THE TIME-LOST X-MAN IS BACK!

Bishop has always lived by a strict code. But that code will get called into question when his sister, Shard, is sent to the present right before she died! Will Bishop adhere to his principles and protect the timestream? Or will he risk it all to save the most important person in his life?

Check out Davide Paratore’s main cover along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso and Skottie Young, and pick up Bishop #1 at your local comic shop this June! 

Gert goes on a Line-Wide Rampage in I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant Bloodbath Covers this April

Posted on by

When Spawn team-up variants were announced, Gert was annoyed. When Youngblood team-ups were unveiled, Gert began sharpening her axe.

Hela and Knull’s Cosmic Collision Unleashes Hel on Earth in Queen in Black!

Posted on by

This summer, Queen in Black, a five-issue event series by mastermind writer Al Ewing and superstar artist Iban Coello, conquers the Marvel Universe!

Queen in Black spins out of Ewing’s acclaimed work on Venom as well as the new Knull limited series that saw Hela seize Knull’s throne, forcing the God of the Void to claim a new power for himself. Their conflict erupts across the cosmos, coming to a head on Earth where Marvel’s heroes are all that stand in the way of the world being torn asunder by the forces of Light and Dark, both bent on enveloping the universe in their own brand of nothingness! In addition to the core series centered around Spider-Man, Venom, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, and Dylan Brock, new tie-in series will see Queen in Black’s impact on other corners of the Marvel Universe.

To celebrate the launch of the summer’s biggest event, Queen in Black #1 will be available in Marvel’s new True Believers Blind Bags. They give fans a chance to purchase the issue in special sealed bags, but unlike previous True Believer Blind Bags, Queen in Black #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags, making it the most exciting and rewarding True Believers Blind Bag experience yet! See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers. In addition to those listed, fans can once again look forward to super rare exclusive covers by surprise contributors, including hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind sketch covers.

On the farthest edges of the solar system, Knull, God of the Void, builds a brand-new army to destroy Earth…but Hela of Asgard might have gotten there first – as she makes planetfall with a legion of the galaxy’s deadliest symbiotes! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war… A cosmic collision of evil versus evil with Venom, Mary Jane and Dylan Brock caught right in the middle!

Check out Ryan Stegman’s main cover along with regular, orderable variant covers by Iban Coello, Peach Momoko, Chip Zdarsky, and Skottie Young.
