Summary
WARNING: Comic Synopsis Contains Content That Some Readers May Find Offensive.
2024 has been a HUGE year for DC’sLobo, who has come in swinging into main continuity like a wrecking ball. The bounty hunter for hire notably starred in the Superman story arc,House of Brainiac, and the three-part Green Lantern story arc,Guy’s Bogus Lobo Adventure. Despite both storylines having concluded in June, DC is far from finished with Lobo and promises to bring him back for his own scummy special.
What’s even more indicative of the comic’s content is the tongue-in-cheek warning that parents may not want their children to read it.
On June 27, 2025, DC fans will have the chance to grab a copy of Kyle Starks and Kyle Hotz’sLobo Cancelation Special#1, dubbed by DC as their “scummiest comic” of the year. This bold claim raises anticipation for the comic’s release,leaving fans to question if the publisher will truly deliver on its promise of presenting a comic that is as R-rated as it is teased to be.
Variant Covers:
Simon Bisley & Kyle Hotz
FEETAL’S GIZZ! Just when you thought it was safe to go back into outer space, the freakazoids at DC Comics ambush you with the scummiest comic book this side of Uranus! Get ready for the most skull-crunching, crotch-punting, and excrement asteroid-filled comic of the year!!! You’re going to be praying to gawd that we pulp this sleezefest before yer kids read it!
However, if one character in the DCU can live up to this promise, it’sDC’s Man Main Lobo, whose foul mouth and even fouler intentions make him the ideal star of this upcoming sleaze fest.
DC Doesn’t Know What to Do with Lobo, and His Dark Opposite Knows It (Yes, Even Lobo Has a Dark Opposite)
One of the most ridiculous characters in DC Comics has always been the Main Man Lobo, but there’s more to his characterization than people think.
Kyle Starks and Kyle Hotz’sLobo Cancelation Special#1 Promises to Claim the Title of ‘DC’s Scummiest Comic’
The solicitation for theLobo Cancelation Specialnot only amplifies the hype surrounding the comic but also vividly outlines what fans can expect in what promises to be an outrageously wild narrative.Described as “the scummiest comic book this side of Uranus,” the synopsis doesn’t hold back with its vividly foul descriptions and irreverent humor, urging readers to brace themselves for “the most skull-crunching, crotch-punting, and excrement asteroid-filled comic of the year!!!” What’s even more indicative of its content is the tongue-in-cheek warning that parents may not want their children to read it.
For fans ready to push the boundaries of their sensibilities, this special is set to become an instant favorite. The brief synopsis already hints at the Main Man embracing his quintessential traits: his wild, irreverent humor, and unapologetically inappropriate antics, while maintainingLobo’s status as one of the DC Universe’sbiggest and baddest characters. The title of the special can also be viewed as a clever nod and playful critique of “cancel culture.” If the comic lives up to its title,fans can expect Lobo to engage in shenanigans that could easily be deemed “cancel-worthy,“but honestly, that’s nothing new for Lobo.
Kyle Hotz’s Art For theLobo Cancelation SpecialAlready Makes the Comic a MUST-READ
In addition to the solicitations featuring the main cover for theLobo Cancelation Special,Hotz also shared his cover on Instagramwith a unique twist that fans won’t want to miss. Hotz created an Instagram Reel showcasing his inking and coloring of the main cover, along with a black and white upper body shot of the Main Man shirtless, flipping the viewer off with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. The reel is set to the music ofThunder Kiss ’65by White Zombie, adding to the overall artistic badassery. This artwork teaser already establishes theLobo-centric comic as a must-read for fans.
Lobo Cancelation Special #1will be released on July 21, 2025, from DC Comics!
