GUEST-STARRING THE MAIN MAN HIMSELF, LOBO! Batman has been falsely accused of a political assassination on a distant planet, and someone has been sent to track down the Dark Knight and bring him to justice — someone with a special talent for hunting. That's right, Lobo's come to Earth with a bounty on Batman! Now, in the clutches of the Main Man and being carted across the cosmos to be judged for a crime he did not commit, Batman must find a way to clear his name! Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott bring you a thrilling tale of bounties, battles, and bastiches.
