The issue is heavy on satire and pokes fun at corporate entertainment, but the not-so-gentle ribbing regularly takes the place of an actual plot. Verdict: For die-hard Lobo fans only.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I have to say I enjoyed this second issue a lot less than Lobo #1. There was potential in the first issue regarding Lobo taking the piss out of being part of an entertainment conglomerate like Warner Bros. (with DC) or Marvel (with Disney). However, in issue #2, Skottie Young goes way over the top poking fun at Marvel and Disney\u2019s \u2014 as well as DC and Warner Bros.\u2019 \u2014 propensity for turning art into corporate product.<\/p>\n In Lobo #1<\/a>, Lobo does what he does best: hunting down bounties for cash and fun. One of his bounties was interrupted when all of his contracts were bought out by a conglomerate corporation that is essentially the DC equivalent of Marvel and Disney. When the Main Man showed up to demand answers, the chief executive countered with a proposal: he wanted Lobo to appear in the next great reality show, detailing his bounty hunting exploits.<\/p>\n The issue begins with Lobo getting a corporate-approved makeover and going out on his first bounty. He is initially very frustrated with the lack of running room, the edits, and the corporate censoring required to ensure the bounty goes according to corporate plans. Over the course of several bounties, he gets the hang of it, but he still finds that he is beholden to the accountants and executives looking at ratings information.<\/p>\n The ratings take a slide when audiences report that Lobo\u2019s exploits are not “fun” enough, so the executives decide to pit him against a well-known target: Aquaman. Lobo tracks down Aquaman and they begin a fight that lasts for quite a long time, ending in a stalemate. When it turns out the bounty on Aquaman was actually bought up by a corporate merger, the issue ends with Lobo heading back to headquarters for a little payback.<\/p>\n Lobo,The Main Man, is obviously the focal point of this story, and he is his big, irreverent, bombastic self from start to finish. He knows what he wants and goes after it; when something annoys him enough, he just blasts his way through it. That said, there is no real character growth here. It’s simply an opportunity for Lobo to brush up against corporate life and find that it is not to his liking, which shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone who understands the character.<\/p>\n There is nothing particularly original about Skottie Young\u2019s script in the sense that this is just Lobo being Lobo. If you’re looking for a unique twist, that is not what this comic is about. It is all about the concept: Skottie Young using Lobo to rail against the corporate machine that takes art for granted for the sake of profit and shareholders. While it is a unique take for Lobo, it remains to be seen if it is unique enough to be entertaining.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n About The Reviewer: Gabriel Hernandez is the Publisher & EIC of <\/span>ComicalOpinions.com<\/span><\/a>, a comics review site dedicated to indie, small, and mid-sized publishers.<\/span><\/p>\n Follow @ComicalOpinions on <\/span>YouTube<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Writing Quality (Clarity & Pacing): 2\/4 <\/span><\/div>\n <\/p>\n We hope you found this article interesting.

<\/span>Lobo #2<\/a> ends the current adventure of the Main Man as an erstwhile reality star. As you can expect, he didn’t like it very much. Skottie Young\u2019s dialogue and delivery are punchy enough, but the jabs at corporate oversight get excessive. That said, Jorge Corona saves the issue with fantastically bombastic art to match the character.<\/div>\n
