Oh his Substack, Skottie Young says "Well, the news is officially out there. I'm launching a new LOBO ongoing series this spring with DC Comics!! I'll be writing it with my long time partner Jorge Corona on art and bringing the rest of the team along with us as well. The genius Jean-Francois Beaulieu will be coloring with the master Nate Piekos on lettering. There's not much more I can tell you at this point other than we are all very excited to share our take on The Main Man! In my 25 years working in this business, this is the first time I'll be making a comic at DC! It's no secret among my peers that Lobo is my favorite DC character so this is a perfect FIRST for me! I'm so happy to have Jorge and our crew along with me. Together we've made 1000's of comic pages together so we'll be hitting the ground running like a MOTHER FRAGGER! I thought maybe I'd try some METHOD WRITING on this project. You know, not just writing the character Lobo, but actually becoming him, while writing him. Some real immersive stuff!"
