Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand

[horror_of_sorts]

I'm glad everyone is enjoying Tonči Zonjić's artwork so much, because he's back for more after this minseries

How do you know this?
I hope he's back for more Lobster Johnson, I would love to see like a LJ miniseries a year drawn by Zonjić.

Scott Allie said as much in the letters section of issue 3. I commented on twitter to Tonči Zonjić and he confirmed it happily.

Here's an interesting article, and here's some quick sketches by Tonči Zonjić:

#4 out TODAY. Picked it up in my LCS.

Interesting what happened in the comic. Not sure where this is going, as it has one more issue.

Spoilers for #4

Well, that was fun. It seems like Kamala was able to summon the black flames, just like the Frog Monsters did in The Black Flame. I hope that connection is explored. I'm also starting to wonder if who The Black Flame is is really important. He could be completely expendable and replaceable, and it is really Kamala who is the real villain. The Black Flame is just a puppet.

Anyway, there's a lot of questions as we go into issue #5. These more action-orientated issues always go by so quickly...

He shot him with an anti air craft gun.

Let me repeat that, Lobster Johnson has what appears to be an anti air craft gun in his lair.

And they say Batman is prepared for everything.

That. Was bad ass.

It really was, I loved this issue so much.


Everything about it is perfect. The art is amazing, the story is fun and it has so many elements that elicit a childlike sense of joy from me; like the sound effects of the guns being reminiscent of the pows from the Adam West Batman show and things like having a random, huge ass gun turret in his lair.

What more can you ask of from a comic book?

makes you wonder how blowed-up Mr Pope really is.

I liked the first LoJo mini fine, but this one just blows it out of the water. Everything clicks. It's what a LoJo solo story should be.

Well, as we saw in issue #4, The Black Flame was defeated, but Kamala's singing ressurected him. I figure it would be the same with Mr Pope, except all those singing frogs died with him. So I'd say we're unlikely to see Mr Pope as The Black Flame again (though it's certainly not impossible), but that doesn't mean we won't see The Black Flame again in a modern BPRD story.
