About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2022 miniseries Crush & Lobo, written by Mariko Tamaki with art by Amancay Nahuelpan. It follows Crush, the daughter of the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo, as she navigates her complicated family legacy and her own place in the DC Universe, blending action and personal drama.

In "Crush Is the Best Girlfriend Ever, Shut Up," Crush tries to balance heroics and romance when a battle with alien invaders in New York’s Chinatown leaves her with a dangerous secret—chemical residue that accidentally ruins Katie’s birthday party. Torn between her duties as a Titan and her feelings for Katie, Crush faces an emotional crossroads when her father, Lobo, reaches out from prison, seeking a second chance. Written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Amancay Nahuelpan, with colors by Tamra Bonvillain and letters by Ariana Maher, this 2022 issue captures the chaos and heart of a superhero’s personal life, all wrapped in a cover by Nahuelpan.
