Fans may have thought they were familiar with the "New 52" incarnation of Lobo, but DC Editor Bob Harras writing on DC’s "What’s New With the New 52" blog revealed that the Lobo seen on the pages of "New 52" books so far is actually an imposter. The new Lobo, who sports a sleek new character design by Kenneth Rocafort, will be unveiled in the September "Villains Month" one-shot, Justice League #23.2: Lobo. The new Lobo is evidently extremely pissed off that someone has been stealing his thunder, and he’s determined to do something about it.
Writing on The Source, Harras announced that Justice League #23.2: Lobo from the creative team of Marguerite Bennett, Ben Oliver, Cliff Richards, and Daniel Brown "will contain a major surprise." In the book that is due out on September 11th, the real Lobo is on a quest to kill the man who has taken his name.
Rocafort produced several prototypes for the new Lobo, and DC picked the leanest design that Rocafort produced, which features updated facial tattoos, laser-edged blades, and powerful gloves--a new look that according to Harras "turns Lobo into a lean, mean killing machine."
