action
part 1
Lobo , the dreaded intergalactic bounty hunter , finds out he's broke. An assignment from his good friend Ramona, who runs a beauty salon with a bond office, comes in handy. Lobo is supposed to take care of a certain Loo, who so far has always managed to terribly kill all bounty hunters sent out after him. Lobo immediately sets off to the planet Dooley-7 and begins the search, but his unconventional methods of obtaining information are the reason that Loo finds Lobo earlier and tries to blow him up in his hotel room. But Lobo survives and a brutal fight breaks out. After the already badly damaged fighters run out of ammunition, they switch to knives, but ultimately Loo wins because his Siamese twin brother "Fäkal" intervenes and shoots Lobo in the middle.
Volume 2
Lobo has to discover that he is dead and in heaven, where he stands in a queue to be judged, but he does not want to let such a defeat sit on him. Lobo begins to stir up the bureaucratically organized paradise until he ends up in front of the manager of heaven, Derek Dood, who denies him reincarnation , but lets him into paradise, which does not work out well because Lobo creates a huge chaos. Completely frustrated, Dood decides to send Lobo to hell. Arrived in the inferno, Lobo is given into the hands of the demon Etrigan , with whom he immediately starts a fight. Lobo's visit to the underworld is also unsuccessful, and the creatures of Hell demand that Dood take Lobo back on the spot or they move to heaven. In order to get rid of the increasingly troublesome Lobo, reincarnation is approved, but there are some problems created by omission. Lobo was born in London in 1940 as a grown woman, which infuriated him tremendously and consequently left a trail of destruction through the already battered city.
Volume 3
The now female Lobo decides to let himself be killed by the bombs falling on London in order to get to heaven and then to Dooley-7 as quickly as possible, but his suicide attempt is parodyed by "General Glory" Captain America , disabled, and a fight ensues in the course of which the clumsiness of the superhero and his assistant Ernie causes Lobo's death. Back in heaven, Lobo stands in front of Derek Dood, who is marked with tentacle-like growths, who explains the problems of reincarnation to him, but decides to send Lobo to the appeals department because he forcibly insists on it. After twelve years of waiting, Lobo goes completely crazy and it takes 37 elite divisions to calm him down. The reincarnation is then initiated, but the technicians discover that there was another problem. Lobo is now back on Dooley-7, and at the right time too, but as a squirrel. Lobo's anger does not last long, because shortly afterwards he is slain by his own dying upper body and drives back up into the Elysium, where he "fondles" death in the female form invented by Niel Gaiman and immediately receives a slap in the face. After Lobos' multiple outbursts of violence, Heaven has prepared for his return and he is now facing a huge number of missiles and cannons.
Volume 4
From his command center, Derek Dood overlooks the operation against Lobo. He faces the Hare Krishnas, the Inquisition as well as Greek, Egyptian and Indian gods, none of whom are equal opponents for him. The massacre is watched on TV by God himself with loud laughter. Finally the sky warriors succeed in guiding Lobo into one of the reincarnation units and sending him back to life according to his wishes. Moments after this action, Lobo comes to and kills both Loo and his brother and, with his severed abdomen on his shoulders, begins the search for a stapler. On the last page you can see a circular from Derek Dood, which is addressed to all gods, goddesses, devils and death and forbids Lobos to be recalled into the afterlife through the "immortality clause".
