In today's review of the SDCC-exclusive
DC Universe Classics Lobo, you learned that Lobo poses in front of a big wanted poster. What the review didn't mention, however, is that the poster actuallylists all his crimes. Yes, the font is hard to read, so you might not realize those are actual words at first, but indeed they are. So what is Lobo charged with? Well, thanks to packaging designer Frank Varela and Mattel's own toy guru Scott Neitlich (he's the brand manager for the DCU line), here's the list:
Wanted for crimes against the Galaxy including: Genocide • Fratricide • Patricide • Matricide • Impersonating a member of the Intergalactic Church of Truth • Impersonating a member of the Green Lantern Crops • Carrying a concealed thermo-nuclear device • Breaking into the Justice League Satellite • Fishing without a license • Jaywalking • Grand theft plasma rocket • Disturbance of the peace across three space sectors • 1,978,643,896 unpaid parking permits • Illegal bounty hunting • Wanton destruction of government property • Demolishing a city without a permit • Reckless endangerment toward animals • Hijacking • Selling/distributing radioactive material to cute fluffy bunny rabbits • Noise infractions level 5.0 • Illegally poaching Starros • Bounty Huntering in a restricted zone • Stepping on the grass • Defecating in a public garden • Loitering • Advocating the overthrow of the heads of state • Not honoring the bounty hunter code
It then goes on to repeat itself several times. And yes, it really does say "Green Lantern Crops," not "Green Lantern Corps" - understandable mistake. Or maybe they're trying to say he was specifically impersonating
the Broccoli Guy. Either way, it's cool that so much work went into a backdrop most people won't bother to read (and MOCers will never even see at all).
