What could Jim Starlin be doing? It’s getting less and less clear with each subsequent tease, and our initial assessment that it was a safe bet he was working with an A.R.G.U.S. helmet might have been somewhat off.After all, some fans had speculated that helmet might belong to a reinvented Adam Strange, which doesn’t seem so farfetched today.After all, he’s got two new pages posted on his Facebook page today from a mystery artist who’s working with him on the series. Guesses from the fans have ranged from Rick Leonardi to Jesus Saiz, with both Pasqual Ferry and Patrick Broderick guessed and then discounted.Featured on the pages? Well, they’re layout pages, so it’s hard to say definitively, but the first page (shown at right) certainly appears to feature Lobo, slumped against the wall with a cigar in his mouth and a bottle of hooch in his hand.While that would be in character for any version of Lobo, the bare chest combined with what appears to be dreadlocks would be a change in his design since the last time we saw Lobo during Rob Liefeld’s troubled run on Deathstroke. According to Liefeld, he was strong-armed by editorial into the look that they ultimately went with so that seems unlikely at least at first blush.
