Lobo #8
The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe

Lobo #8
“Oh my Guardians, what have I allowed to happen?”
A weeping man once whispered these words to an unfeeling universe, and the universe answered: “Doom. Doom. You are the unhappy midwife to the Szerpent of Czarnia, and all the blood he spills henceforth is on your hands.” His power was taken, his title, his fellowship. But he’d made an oath: “No evil shall escape my sight.” Unrelentingly. Unstoppably.
Unbelievably. Francis Dalex would become the last man to kill Lobo for the last time. At last.

Deathstroke: The Terminator #8
DC’s deadliest assassin Slade Wilson isn’t taking orders anymore. No longer a “killer for hire,” but still very much a killer, Deathstroke prowls the dark shadows, licking his wounds and looking for his next victim.
Meanwhile, Slade’s ex Adeline is making it known to the Merchants of Death that she’s taken over the Deathstroke business… and promises that the contract murders will continue without interruption.
