Lobo Creator Giffen on the Revamp: It’s Not How I’d Do It, But It’s Someone Else’s Turn Now

The most controversial retooling of any single character since the initial outburst of anger at the start of the New 52 hit the Web last week, with DC Comics unveiling a new Lobo to widespread fan criticism.The new look is accompanied by a story that tells fans “Hey, you know that guy Lobo who’s been hanging around in books like Deathstroke and StormWatch? Yeah, that’s not Lobo.”The move generated a ton of discussion, prompted a response by the writer of the upcoming Lobo Villains’ Month story (for which the redesign was done and origin tweaked) that included the phrase “I respectfully disagree with the decision to release that image” in reference to Kenneth Rocafort’s character design at right.
