Is Keith Giffen even trying anymore? This latest issue of the latest Lobo mini-series doesn't even try to be funny. It just shows Lobo fighting and killing and expects the reader to laugh. In this issue, Bling-Bling, the Hip-Hop Ho stops trying to manipulate Lobo and attacks him head-on. Why? Well, maybe because someone thought it would be funny to see a woman being disfigured.

There is no real wit in this comic, except perhaps for the fact that one of the machineguns makes a sound that sounds like a dirty word. Haha...Not! Even the "hip-hop" slang ceases to be funny and makes one yearn for the rapping of John Cena, or even Vanilla Ice. Oh, Ambush Bug shows up, maybe because no one in DC wants to use him. Probably the best thing about this comic is Horley and Kuhn's art which at least shows some cartoonish liveliness, reminiscent of the early Mad comics. It is a pity they couldn't get better material to work with.
