Vintage Lobo and long overdue!,
By
This review is from: DC Universe: Last Sons (Mass Market Paperback)
DC continues to use their vast universe of characters in this story which mainly features Lobo, The Bounty Hunter. Martian Manhunter and Superman "guest star", but it is the Main Man and his healing factor (like Woverine's) that are the Main attractions here. The story is a quick read, and it's great to see that DC is following Marvel's lead by putting out quality novels.

Lobo Guest Starring Martian Manhunter and Superman,

This review is from: DC Universe: Last Sons (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book years ago lost it, found it, then it was 'borrowed' damaged and lost by a neighbor so I recently bought another to recomplete the series. All this time I thought the book would mainly be Martian Manhunter and Superman with Lobo getting into the mix. This is, as other reviewers have said, mainly a novel about Lobo and the trail of chaos left in his wake. Superman was almost an afterthought; and Manhunter... well you'll see. Now, never being a fan of the Superman/Lobo story lines you would think I would HATE this LOBO-CENTRIC STORY... Well, no. It is interesting enough to give the Lobo/Superman storylines another shot. The Main Man is funny in a grotesque dark comedy sort of way(Lobo was voiced by Brad Garrett in the Superman Animated Series). I would have to say the best parts of the novel are centered around John Jones (J'onn J'onnzz).I would like to see a Martian Manhunter centered novel in the style of a Hard Boiled Detective novel. Actually that would not make a bad TV series. Hey WB are you reading this?
5.0 out of 5 stars

Like other reviews have said, don't buy this if you're expecting it to be more about Superman/Martian Manhunter. Surprisingly, this book is more about Lobo. If you're a Lobo fan, then you'll most likely love this book, if not, I'm not sure you will. Lobo is an over the top character. In vein of The Punisher and Wolverine, and humor kinda like Deadpool, except he's more brutal most of the time. But he's not completely evil, he does do good deeds every once in awhile, and he loves space dolphins. I finished this book in about a week. It was an entertaining read.Lobo was a pretty popular character in the early/mid 90's, his popularity has died down since then. He has appeared in "Superman: The Animated Series" and in an episode of "Justice League." A more kid friendly Lobo, but still had pretty much all the same characteristics from the comic book version. Not really sure what else to say, so I'll end it... This book is worth reading if you "get" the character Lobo, which I certainly do.
