Some of the best comics make us feel like the hero goes through the same things we do. We have all experienced times when we hoped someone would step in and be part of the journey.
Lobo 2 is a comic about that: it reminds us that even the strongest person does not have to carry it all alone. This guy used to fight his battles in silence, not caring that his city barely knows his name. He had one mission: to protect them from the cartels.
But it was too much for him alone.
It made me think about this a lot: even if we are the most powerful person in the world, we still need someone who sees us for more than what we can do, and says “Let’s fight this together.”
It does not make us weaker to need someone by our side.
