Lobo Unbound #5

The penultimate chapter of this six-issue mature-readers series arrives with a cover that says it all: a towering, sunglasses-wearing woman holds a tiny, chain-wrapped Lobo by his signature black mane as he brandishes a mallet with his usual unhinged grin, while a green insectoid creature lurks nearby — which explains the tagline "Things Get Bugly!" perfectly. Alex Horley's painted artwork gives the whole scene a vivid, almost lurid energy that suits the Main Man's anarchic universe beautifully. With Keith Giffen driving the story and one issue left to go, this is exactly the kind of wild, larger-than-life setup that makes Lobo Unbound such a satisfying ride.
