The surprising comeback of Lobo's sidekick Dawg to DC Comics
Previously seen in comics at the side of Lobo, the Czarnian bounty hunter, Dawg—sometimes known as Mutt—has also made appearances in Although the source of this "sidekick" is unknown, Dawg is usually regarded as an alien dog based on his several strength and red eyes achievements. Lobo supporters appreciated Dawg's austere look, trademark bandage, and perseverance on working with Lobo despite the hunter's scant tolerance in return. Lobo dismisses Dawg as "his," during the course of their working relationship, until he kills him once and for sure to make absolutely clear.
Designed by renowned artists Keith Giffen and Alan Grant, Dawg initially surfaced in Simon Bisley, Lovern Kindzierski, Gaspar Saladino's _Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special 1_. Dawg has latched on a new master and established himself on their team before now. Before coming to Metropolis, Dawg most recently seen _Harley's Little Black Book 6_ by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Simon Bisley. On Lobo's "date" with Harley Quinn, the three become stuck. Lobo tries the local flora's edibility on Dawg, to the great annoyance of the animal lover Harley. When they plummet from space, Dawg even catches her in his extending lower jaw. Dawg's inclination for the female anti-hero points to his likely performance under a somewhat more sympathetic commander.
