Lobo

Before Jason Momoa shows up in Supergirl, here's everything you need to know about Lobo. This week Zach and Mike dive into the 1990-1991 four-issue Lobo mini-series by Keith Giffen and Alan Grant, the run that created the version of the character most people actually know. The one with the space hog. The chain. The white skin and black hair. The one who is almost certainly showing up in the Supergirl film and who Mike compares, correctly, to "Wolverine if Wolverine were Deadpool." Here's what Lobo actually is: a bounty hunter from a utopian planet so peaceful they didn't even have a word for fighting. He was born wrong, got worse, and eventually committed genocide on his entire species just so he could be unique. He is now the last of his kind. He did that on purpose. The story we're covering has him transporting a prisoner across the galaxy, his fourth grade teacher, who wrote an unauthorized biography about him and whom he very much wants to kill. While being chased by space fanboys, a paramilitary senior citizens' decency committee, and the planetary police force of every planet he's stopped at along the way. There is also a spelling bee. Also this week: the Marvel Thanksgiving Day Parade float. RoboCop is in it. Hulk barely moves a clock tower. Captain America takes it very seriously. We watch the whole thing. Plus: Supergirl movie excitement, the Dean Cain callout, a Mister Miracle animated series update, and the Lobo that DC tried to reboot in 2011 who Mike did not like the nipples of.
