Comic Review: Lobo/Road Runner Special (DC Comics/Looney Tunes)

First thing that needs to be said is this, HOW FRIGGING AWESOME DOES WILE E COYOTE LOOK IN THIS!!!!

Seriously he is ripped, all the looney tunes deserve a few rebooted cartoons in this style or a wee gritty R-rated movie!The origins of the Looney Tunes are explained as a weird experiment from Acme labs using alien DNA but as these things tend to do it all goes wrong and the experiments escape. The rivalry between Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cements itself with a page of classic scenes where Wile E attempts to catch Road Runner using his trademark Acme supplies that look amazing in this style and after decades of this he has finally had enough and lets himself get recaptured by the army.

Its here he meets an even more shredded Sam the Sheepdog who hatches a plan to help Wile finally rid himself of his Nemesis. Enter Lobo who is on another contract but stops to kick Wile es butt before he is tempted by the offer of an easy mark. Very quickly Lobo regrets his contract and suffers much the same fate as Wile e has in his endeavors but possibly with even more explosive outcomes thankfully his regenerative powers cope with his injuries.

Lobo tracks down the master behind this contract and it is all resolved with Wile e reinvigorated in his cause to eat the Roadrunner and of course, he has an ingenious plan to help him do it!

Lobo then crosses over to the Looney Tunes style with Bugs Bunny informing him that he us contracted to spend a few pages chasing the Roadrunner which he does and of course fails in classic Looney Tune ways until that is when he actually catches him (we don’t get shown how) but that’s not all Bugs has one final surprise for poor Lobo and in Bugs’s own words “Aint he a stinker”
