Series: Lobster Johnson #5
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good
This volume is two separate stories. One about three indestructible robots with mysterious motives and another about a pirate ship and its ghost.
This was a wild and fun volume. Both stories were over the top, filled with action, suspense, with a little bit of love and heartbreak splashed in there. Of the two, I think the pirate story is my favorite. It was action packed and the ghost was very interesting. It also gives us more questions about the Lobsters origins, which I hope get solved in the next volume.
What really sold this volume for me though was the artwork. Tonci Zonjic did an amazing job with all the panels for these two stories. He really knows how to bring to live the Lobster and all the villains. Also, Dave Stewart’s coloring works wonderfully with Zonjic’s art.
I highly recommend this series if you love comics with great fight scenes and an over the top anti-hero.

Two 3 issue mini series collected together. I liked 'Metal Monsters'; the Hyperboreans plot tied into the Hellboy universe, and the story was delightfully creepy. I wasn't as impressed by 'Pirate's Ghost'; Isog was an interesting character, and I his death seemed anti climactic. I always thought he would have a more interesting back story.

Very pulpy second to last volume. The pace is definitely starting to pick up in the story. We're really just starting to see how morally grey Lobster Johnson's "Justice" craze is, and how really, maybe we shouldn't just outright murder villains without some reform. Speaking of that, I'm sad to see Wald go, although it seemed about time. No one who is haunted by the spirit of a pirate is usually well off. I really liked Walds character wrap up. The definate highlight of this volume.
