Dance 'till you drop, do the LoboCop - A 1UP classic from December 15, 2010

As I'm going through the old comics to share with the little gal I can't help but wonder where the fun went in comic books. Sometimes the storylines and characters take themselves too seriously.

I stumbled across one of the best parodies of film-meets-comic book characters ever. Featuring two unlikely but very complimentary sources. The "Main Man" Lobo getting put into the titanium body of a Robocop. The result of which was a crazy send up of law enforcement gone too far.

With fun designs and lots of violence I'm wondering why DC didn't bother revisiting the character. LoboCop would make for a fun videogame. Perhaps the arcade mechanics of Robocop, plus the comedic timing of Sunset Riders. It would certainly much better than the Lobo videogame that never came out.

I guess there was the good and bad in the 90's now that I think about it. Comics were fun but every quick-buck videogame was a fighter. It's a darn shame too.
