Lobo will be the jewel in the company’s crown, with the world-famous multi-hyphenate “Main Man” set to star in an ∞-season reality series documenting his exploits.

The Main Man gets his own TV show, going up against Emperor Aquaman for better ratings.

This issue is a major step up from the first. It actually delivers a focused story, and the meta commentary on anti-hero and superhero media is genuinely funny. The idea of the Mega TV Corporation trying to clean up and control Lobo’s image across the galaxy works really well, and the behind-the-scenes humor about writers crafting snappy dialogue while dodging legal issues lands consistently.
The action is just as entertaining. The fight between Lobo and Aquaman is a highlight, and I especially liked how Young handled Arthur, using him as a straight-up force to put Lobo in his place. It feels like a quick wrap to the first arc, but honestly, that pacing works in its favor.
The art matches the tone perfectly. It is chaotic, colorful, and fits the absurd energy of the story. Overall, this was a fun, sharp issue that builds real momentum going forward. I highly recommend it.
Grade: A

Fraggin’ fantastic once again! The art is phenomenal, the story is surprisingly in tune with the rest of the dc universe, the comedy is on point, and I love the message about how corporations try and trap popularity in a bottle only to end up limiting creatives and coming up short because the execs believe they know their audience better. But we couldn’t have that message without focusing on our star of his very own reality TV program following bounty hunting, to try and compete with that wildly popular bounty hunting show on the other network, none other than the MAIN MAN!! We start this issue with a complete redesign for Lobo as he hits the hair stylist and dons a corporate approved leotard because his current outfit was considered lethal due to the amount of bacteria and live creatures growing on it. Naturally Lobo has never cleaned his outfit, lol.

But now that Lobo is suited up it’s time to head out to start his first bounty for his TV show. He is starting with a simple bail jumper that Lobo has actually picked up before, and naturally Lobo is now having to deal with being surrounded by remotely controlled cameras watching his every move. Well watching and policing and influencing his every move. As the main man usually does he goes into this bounty fully armed as he immediately blows up the building the target is in. The corporation immediately calls for a cut, as their lawyers informed them he must knock and announced himself before forced entry. Lobo complies and walks over to the destroyed building, picking up the door and banging on it as he read back an approached statement, adding in his own flair in the firm of a threat. Lobo got sick of waiting for the bail jumper to come out from hiding under some rubble so he decided to whip out his guns and frag him all up. The butting of heads is immediately evident, even down to the corporation trying to control how many “frags” Lobo uses to preserve his antihero status. We see him jump around the galaxy and wrap up bounties and even more gory kills to make even Atrocitus throw up while watching all while it seems to anger Lobo’s corporate overlords.

Eventually they brought him in for a board update meeting to share with him some of the data they have gathered. The other show is still outperforming them and it’s because across all age groups everyone can agree that they want less of the main man. The corporate side just sees this as a challenge, they believe people need to be told what to want and when they don’t want it they need to come up with a new thing to tell them they want and so on. So they have decided that for their antihero (Lobo) to succeed, he needs to go up against a full blown hero. What they have in mind actually brings a huge smile to Lobo’s face as a bounty has been recently placed on EMPEROR AQUAMAN!! I do love that this series is a bit ahead of the main Aquaman series, he is riding around on Starro here and that has yet to happen, lol, but as Lobo rides out to cut off Emperor Aquaman and his recent space fairing adventures…Aquaman immediately bursts out laughing at the sight of Lobo and his ridiculous new outfit. Even his space bike has been corporatized. The corporation immediately starts to eat up the jokes Aquaman starts cracking as their writers get to work for Lobo’s snappy comebacks. But the main man doesn’t like to wait around while Aquaman, king Shark, and Lori Lemaris are laughing in his face. Lobo rushes in and throws the first punch instead of waiting for a one liner from the TV network, and Aquaman country agree more as the two lock into combat with fists and terrible puns. This goes on for quite a while as they bash each other in, with Lobo at one point going for Aquaman’s “royal jewels” until they finally ended in a stalemate with both of them exhausted and Aquaman’s trident impaled through Lobo. But it was actually the TV network that finally ended things as they have received word that ALL BOUNTIES are paused until further notice.

Lobo trudged back to OOEC HQ in a half destroyed costume to ask what happened out there. Lobo immediately assumes it was something he said or did, but everything was actually fine there. It turns out that OOEC is undergoing a merger with GRP and now they want to leverage their control of bounties and bonds for their own IP…the competing bounty show. To give Lobo his credit, he sees all of this for what it really is clear as day. This corporation got all hunched up when another network started making all the money with their show so they decided to get in on the action by finding a guy, Lobo of course, who could of gotten them all the exact same revenue BUT they had to take it one stupid step further by changing everything about Lobo that made him. Who he is because they believed they had a better idea of what people want. When all they had to really do was let Lobo be Lobo and bring in the money in droves. Even with Lobo’s accurate assessment of what happened, it doesn’t change that he is no longer needed and needs to leave. But instead Lobo steps forward and taps the CEO on the techno head to make sure he isn’t a hologram again…he have and it’s the biggest mistake he must made as Lobo immediately bashes him up and tosses him out his own window. While Lobo was leaving he made sure the others knew to wire him the rest of the money in his contract or he will be back to give them all the same treatment. They all agree but with one caveat…the costume he is wearing is OOEC property and he can’t take it with him…so Lobo and Dawg walk out of the building completely naked and ready for whatever is next. “That’s fraggin’ showbiz.”

Introducing: LOBO THE BOUNTY HUNTER! On a screen near you!

Young is a beast for this concept. Because who would have thought that Lobo would be made to ditch his purported comforts for the glitz and glam of being a potential tv show star? Only thing is: Lobo doesn't follow anyone's rules...not for ratings...not for tv execs... nada. This is a riot! All the "cuts" yelled because of course Lobo does what he knows. I especially liked the guest appearances from supes and that by the issues end, the show was suspended indefinitely and Lobo asked to leave the set immediately. Of course, as long as they run him his money, he has no qualms. Lol it's all such a good run so far. I'm very much looking forward to what's next!

This was entertaining and extremely silly at the same time.

He is the outer space version of dog the bounty Hunter, cameras rolling and a new costume/uniform. They have him wearing a helmet that sort of kind of reminds you of judge dredd.

Typical lobo humor outrage and silliness. A guest appearance by Aquaman who for some reason is in outer space.

The comic ends in typical lobo bombastic blam blam blam blam blam blam.

Lobo didn’t last long on corporate media, but that makes sense. I’m very curious to see where the series goes from here now, though. All the stuff that made the first issue cool are still here in spades - sharp satire from Young and boundless creativity from Corona. Jorge just fills the page with so much joyous carnage and weirdness. I love it.

[Connor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Haha i knew Lobo's new career move wouldn't last long, surprise he held on this long really. It feels last these first two issues have been more of a preface to those who are not familiar to character leading to his story to come.

Lovely art but that's honestly about it (for me).

Lobo 2: me tiene fascinada el arte de este y el argumento es muy Lobo: una locura. Muy gracioso el encuentro con Aquaman #Lobo

[DonHeimscheißer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I quite enjoyed the second issue, I like how it had to do with showbiz and seeing Lobo try to be a star in reality show was really something. So I’m excited to see what the third issue brings.

Only comic I’ve read that Aquaman was enjoyable

[Dylan McPeake · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mildly disappointed we didn’t get a Dawg the Bounty Hunter joke, but nonetheless it was a fun issue to read. Turns out not everyone is cut out for reality TV

[Rory C · Rating 2 out of 5]

This comic gave me a headache (although when Emperor Aquaman turned up I did find it amusing)
