Lobo's First Solo Miniseries – Issue #1
Lobo is an intergalactic bounty hunter whose methods are as outrageous as his reputation. After believing himself to be the last survivor of his race, he discovers that one individual escaped his genocide.
That survivor has written an unauthorized biography of Lobo, something the Main Man finds particularly irritating. Making matters worse, Lobo accepts a contract from L.E.G.I.O.N. to escort his biographer across the universe to headquarters—alive!
As Lobo's journey unfolds, he attracts a collection of enemies, setting off a chaotic chase across the cosmos as various factions compete to reach him first.
