What I Learned from New Comics This Week:
01/10/07 - Meta...

Now I'm not a big fan of Lobo. Or, more accurately, I never got into the Lobo craze in the nineties. I mean, he’s an alien. And he kills stuff. Lots of stuff. But I guess in the nineties comics spewed out a character to fit just about every demographic, and Lobo was their for the heavy metal kids. (At least every Lobo fan I knew was also a dirty hesher.) So while I never read a Lobo comic, you can see I never really had a good reason to.

Lo and behold, Lobo does have something to teach me. From the pages of 52 – Week Thirty-six:

”I killed…things that don’t even exist.”


Yeah, I’ve heard of things like metaphysics, metalogic, and metaphors but Lobo just introduce perhaps the coolest meta- of them all: meta-murder.

Awesome.

If you can find me that hymn book, I’d be much obliged.
