  Major Spoilers - George Chimples

  The bottom line is, this book feels like an inexplicable, unnecessary cash-in. Why bother reprinting cruddy stories from the past decade that aren't particularly significant, exemplary or even that entertaining? Lobo's heyday was in the 1990s, so I'm hard-pressed to understand why the oldest of these stories dates to 1999 (hardly ancient history by comic book standards). The Alan Grant-scripted Lobo/Etrigan in Hell team-up was a little fun, so that will elevate the Lobo 100-Page Spectacular to a whopping one and a half stars. No sound effect counts for this book, since if they're not going to put in the effort, neither am I. Read Full Review
