Lobo #7

While there's nothing necessarily bad about the issue, the concept and series feels like a throwback to a bygone era. DC's moving forward, but this issue feels like a foot in the past. Read Full Review

The art and colors are handled by Cliff Richards and Michael Atiyeh. Richards has a good look to this book. He draws plenty of aliens that are inventive, even when serving as background dcor. His interiors tend to be a bit sparse but makes up for it in blood, guts, and bones. Lobo is not a book that should have mediocre gore and this book serves it well. Atiyeh's colors are also a pleasure. While blues tend to dominate, it's a step above the harsh reds that tend to come expected in some superhero books. Atiyeh sets an appropriately dark and shady tone without blotting out the characters and serves its purpose well. Read Full Review

All in all, it is what is, and you get what you get. If you're looking for superheroes and pulpy violence, look no further. We'll see how the story develops in the future, but right now it's looking pretty thin. Hopefully they'll keep those Evil Archer moments to a minimum. *fingers crossed* Read Full Review

Cullen Bunn used the two month Convergence layoff to...give us more of the same.  Sure, the setting has changed (a bit), but the song remains the same.  If you enjoy watching Lobo fight a rotating bunch of thugs while acting all aloof, then do I have a book for you. The cliffhanger was interesting, but I'm maintaining a wait and see approach and I'd suggest you do the same.  As of now, this book is still pretty "meh". Read Full Review
