Angus takes a trip back to 1990 and reviews Alan Grant, Keith Giffen, and Simon Bisley's limited series LOBO The Last Czarnian! This series would be foundational in inspiring how future series of the character would be portrayed not only in comics but also in DC films. All of this is in celebration of Supergirl coming to movie screens on June 26th!

Lobo by Keith Giffen & Alan Grant Vol. 1

https://www.amazon.com/Lobo-Keith-Giffen-Alan-Grant-ebook/dp/B07819WZTQ/

It’s the big, bad Lobo book that has something to offend everyone! In these fast-shooting, gut-wrenching tales from the 1990s, Lobo’s out for revenge on whoever wrote an unauthorized biography of his life as a gun for hire!

Angus adventures back to 1982 and discovers Paul Kupperberg and Carmine Infantino's run on The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl.

Radiant Black Vol. 1

https://www.amazon.com/Radiant-Black-Vol-Kyle-Higgins-ebook/dp/B096GCNKX3/

Nathan Burnett has just turned 30, and things aren’t great—he’s working (and failing) at two jobs, his credit card debt is piling up, and his only move…is moving back home with his parents... he's given the power to radically change his fortunes...unless the Cosmic Beings who created them succeed in taking them back by any means necessary. Oh, and did we mention there's a RED RADIANT who wants Nathan dead?
