This article introduces new fans to the character of Lobo, the Last Czarnian, ahead of his upcoming appearance in the DC cinematic universe. It highlights seven essential Lobo comic book stories that showcase his irreverent humor and penchant for ultra-violence, paving the way for characters like Deadpool and Harley Quinn.
Lobo is currently making headlines thanks to the recent announcement that Jason Momoa will be playing him in the new DC cinematic universe. Yet more casual DC Comics fans might not be as familiar with the last Czarnian, and they may be looking to read his best adventures in the original comics before he makes his appearance in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Co-creator Keith Giffen - the late, great writer of classics like Justice League International and Blue Beetle - is on hand to keep the sardonic humor intact, and he finds in co-writer Alan Grant the perfect collaborator, as the two encouraged each other’s juvenile sensibilities like a pair of misbehaving schoolboys. More importantly, this was artist Simon Bisley’s first work with the character, and the artist proved to be the perfect fit.
Lobo’s Paramilitary Christmas Special #1 establishes the overall approach to Lobo stories moving forward, where nothing is held sacred and everything is on the table. The mix of satire and brutal action the creative team achieves here has rarely been matched, making this the ultimate template for everything that followed, and not just for Lobo stories but for superhero parodies more broadly.
4 Hitman / Lobo: That Stupid Bastich #1 By Garth Ennis, Doug Mahnke, Carla Feeny, Jamison, and Ken Lopez Lobo proved to be a perfect fit for the irreverent world of Hitman, one of DC's most underrated ongoing series, and writer Garth Ennis takes full advantage of the many violent and bizarre outcomes that a showdown between the Main Man and Hitman’s Tommy Monaghan provides.
Along the way, the Main Man winds up taking out most of Batman’s rogues gallery, in addition to Nightwing and Robin. This puts the Dark Knight on the warpath against the Last Czarnian, and the following battle is an epic showdown to determine who’s the deadliest fighter in the entire DC Universe. The creative team make the most of the Elseworlds label, telling a story that could never happen in DC's main continuity.
