When you're reviewing something like Lobo, you have to go down a checklist of stuff you normally wouldn't have to go down with other comics: multiple homicides-check, eviscerations-check, intergalactic swears like frag-check, space dolphin love-check. This book has all of that. Writer Scott Ian is usually thrashing his guitar with Anthrax, but here he seems to be just as comfortable filling the word balloons 'sploding from Lobo's lips and giving him stuff to kill. The plot is pretty straightforward: the Devil kills Lobo's space dolphins and Lobo goes to hell to kill him. But the straightforward plot gives artist Sam Keith a whole lot of room to shine here. Keith's art, though not as crisp as his MAXX stuff, is loose and fun. There's a grittiness about this book that comes from both the words Ian's written and the panels Keith has drawn. This was a fun read and even more enjoyable if you are as big of a metal fan as I am. This ain't Shakespeare, but you already knew that. The best compliment I can give this book is that it stays in the same brutally fun vein as Giffen and Bisley started with the character all those years ago. Reckless, rowdy fun.
