Lobster Johnson: The Pirate's Ghost

Those covers are great! I would love to see the Metal Monsters of Midtown one made into either a toy or a lamp.

That robot animation is really cool too.

It's been a long wait, nice that they come out in quick succession. Great art too

Is it Wednesday yet?

(Also have to hope the shipment from Diamond to the comic book shop didn't get delayed this week because of the Memorial Day weekend holiday.)

...Whoa. That was a really good issue.

That it was. This has been my favourite Lobster story yet.

Issue #3 was excellent!

[Matt Strackbein]

Issue #3 was absolutely one of the best comic books I've read in a long, long time. Hot damn!

[Harry McTell]

Great issue.
Love me some Lobster!!!

Hello all,

I am a little late to the party but I had to reread the whole mini series to make up my mind on what I feel about it. It is not a bad story but I am kind of disappointed as I had hoped it would have revealed a bit more about the Lobster's origins. (the Lobster really being some ghost perhaps that moves from body to body he marked after his current body is taken out as someone suggested)

I am a little confused now, did Isog made up the whole Lobster pirate connection just to motivate Wald into action again?

That was my take on it.

I see Lobster as a Shadow/Doc Savage pulp type character. Not a supernatural figure (though that is an aspect of the his adventures and what becomes of him in the Hellboy books)

The whole pirate thing ended up as a bit of a bust, though I'm glad his origin is still a mystery, but man that ending was great. That's the Lobster I love.
