Lobo #6 — Skottie Young and Riley Rossmo bring chaos to the dental chair
Lobo is back for a new era under Skottie Young and Riley Rossmo, and issue #6 delivers a bizarre mission involving the Tooth Fairy. If you love your comics weird, loud, and unapologetically fun, this is the one to grab.
There is a specific kind of energy that Skottie Young and Riley Rossmo bring to the page, a blend of chaotic charm and sharp, kinetic storytelling that feels completely alive. When they take the wheel of a book like Lobo, you know the ride isn’t going to be polite. This latest drop on the shelf has that signature spark from the start — it’s funny, it’s weird, and it’s packed with the kind of creative confidence that makes you want to turn the page before you’ve even finished reading the first panel.
The premise here is wonderfully off-kilter. Lobo has taken on a job that sounds simple enough on the surface: track down a mystical master of molars. But as any Main Man knows, the universe has a funny way of twisting things. The target? The Tooth Fairy. Not the benevolent childhood figure, but a freakish, terrifying entity that makes dentists nervous and clients pay up. It’s a setup that promises mayhem, and with Lobo’s teeth always growing back, he’s the only guy for the job.
What makes this issue sing is the guest art from Riley Rossmo himself. You can feel the energy in every line, a wild, expressive style that matches the absurdity of the story. It’s a treat to see him step in and bring his unique vision to the Czarnian, adding a layer of visual flair that elevates the whole package. It’s the kind of creative collaboration that reminds you why you love comics — when artists and writers push each other into new, exciting territory.
If you’re looking for a companion read to ride alongside this chaos, keep an eye on the backlist. There are older issues that capture the early, unhinged spirit of the character, offering a great contrast to this newer, glossier take. It’s a fun exercise in seeing how the character has evolved while keeping that core, rebellious heart beating.
The Jorge Corona variant on this issue is a visual feast, bold and striking in a way that demands attention on the shelf. These cover variants tend to move quickly, so if you’re after a specific look for your collection, you might want to get in before the stack empties. It’s a great piece of art to have on display, even if you just grab the issue for the story.
