[Per this note on the Lobo FAQ … just wondering](http://www.mninter.net/~setter/lobo/fafq.html) > [@](#): > > Due to the ending of Lobo’s Back #4, one can make the assumption that Lobo can never be permanently dead, because he is neither allowed in heaven or hell. ---

Erm. I’m so ashamed I know this. Because in the Lobo’s Back run, Lobo was found to be a corrupting influence in Heaven, causing fights, being a general nuisance, and so on. He was shipped to the netherworld temporarily, but was just as much a nuisance there; they tried to reincarnate him, with imperfect results (they sent him back as a woman, circa WWII London). That pretty much takes care of his post-life options. FISH ---

It’s like the old joke: Heaven doesn’t want him and Hell’s afraid he’ll take over…seriously! So God and Satan agreed to allow Lobo to become immortal.
