If there is a phrase to encapsulate the 1990s when it comes to comic books, that phrase would probably be “over the top.” However there were few character who embraced and ran with that notion with as much brazen abandon as DC’s Lobo. The interstellar bounty hunter with a bad attitude received a special #0 issue as part of DC’s Zero Hour event (I don’t even know,) and I’ve brought along guest Paul Scavitto to help me take a look at this one of a kind character.
Listen to Episode 4: Lobo #0.
