Like other reviews have said, don't buy this if you're expecting it to be more about Superman/Martian Manhunter. Surprisingly, this book is more about Lobo. If you're a Lobo fan, then you'll most likely love this book, if not, I'm not sure you will. Lobo is an over the top character. In vein of The Punisher and Wolverine, and humor kinda like Deadpool, except he's more brutal most of the time. But he's not completely evil, he does do good deeds every once in awhile, and he loves space dolphins. I finished this book in about a week. It was an entertaining read.Lobo was a pretty popular character in the early/mid 90's, his popularity has died down since then. He has appeared in "Superman: The Animated Series" and in an episode of "Justice League." A more kid friendly Lobo, but still had pretty much all the same characteristics from the comic book version.
Not really sure what else to say, so I'll end it... This book is worth reading if you "get" the character Lobo, which I certainly do.

DC Universe Last Sons Alan Grant 9781599506487 Books Reviews
Got this at a local bookstore, but I thought I'd add my 2c anyways.
Last Sons did resemble a Superman ep where Lobo and Superman were "targets" because of their uniqueness. However, I don't think it detracts from the entertainment value of the story.
It takes a while for the action to arrive, however, I am a reader that appreciates an interesting history or build up. One aspect I enjoyed a whole lot was the abilities of Lobo's bike! ) Who knew....ah but let's not add any spoilers.
Well written by and large, I only dinged a star for slight similarities to already established storylines (would have only dinged half if that were allowed). But hey...once a piece of fiction is around long enough, everything's bound to have been done right? (Simpsons did it!!!!)
Lobo is the meanest and most ornery bounty hunter in the galaxy. He is the sort of being who has no problem killing anyone who gets in his way. His next quarry, supposedly with a million-credit bounty on his head, is J'onn J'onnzz, Martian Manhunter of the Justice League.
Despite Lobo's lack of morality, he does have a code of honor, being scrupulously honest. He also has a crush on Darlene, a waitress at a burger joint on an asteroid.
Meantime, somewhere in the interstellar middle of nowhere, an artificial intelligence called The Alpha hatches a plan to wipe out all life in the universe. When Lobo delivers J'onnzz, with Superman not far behind, all three are thrown in prison. But, this is not your average prison. The walls in Superman's cell are impregnated with kryptonite; Lobo and J'onnzz are similarly trapped. The only thing that all three have in common is that they are the last of their race (in Lobo's case, it was intentional).
The Alpha plans to dissect them and use that emotional energy to create an invincible fighting force. Their release, and stopping The Alpha before it wipes out any more civilizations, depends on a crime boss named Xemtex. Lobo cut Xemtex's brain out of his head, and it now controls Lobo's space bike.
Coming from a comic book "mentality" (for lack of a better word), it's a very fast and entertaining read with plenty of action. It's recommended, especially for those who don't consider themselves comic book readers.
Fantastic read!!!!!! I gotta say I actually love reading the novels more than the comics. Here you are transported into the thoughts of the characters. Absolute bliss.
Yes.
What a Fragtastic ride!!! The main man brought to life along with martian manhunter and superman, voice actors did a spectacular job!! Highly recommend!!
Love these guys, so good. A must read everyone.
I bought this book years ago lost it, found it, then it was 'borrowed' damaged and lost by a neighbor so I recently bought another to recomplete the series. All this time I thought the book would mainly be Martian Manhunter and Superman with Lobo getting into the mix. This is, as other reviewers have said, mainly a novel about Lobo and the trail of chaos left in his wake. Superman was almost an afterthought; and Manhunter... well you'll see. Now, never being a fan of the Superman/Lobo story lines you would think I would HATE this LOBO-CENTRIC STORY... Well, no. It is interesting enough to give the Lobo/Superman storylines another shot. The Main Man is funny in a grotesque dark comedy sort of way(Lobo was voiced by Brad Garrett in the Superman Animated Series). I would have to say the best parts of the novel are centered around John Jones (J'onn J'onnzz).
I would like to see a Martian Manhunter centered novel in the style of a Hard Boiled Detective novel. Actually that would not make a bad TV series. Hey WB are you reading this?
