I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
I just didn't care. I wanted to care, but I didn't. It was meant to explain why Lobo is the way he is, I think, but just confused the hell out of me. Given what happened, I didn't see how that led him to becoming the man he was. One quick flashback, though, an uno real tie-in to the present.
It was meant more to explain why he was so hardcore about going after Pariah, though, and it did explain that, at the expense of building character, which was a shame. Ah, well, I think this is the end of the line for my experiment with this Lobo run. Luckily, I only bought two issues.
