HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT...The Lobo Brothers?!?
Nice! Time for another installment of HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT…?” a semi-recurring segment where we look at random characters that we encounter in the books we read. Lots of strange, unusual folks out here that you need to know about.Since we are putzing around with the Punisher, the most logical solution would be to talk about the LOBO BROTHERS, two brothers who are both high-class drug dealers AND mutant werewolves. Frank was once almost mind-controlled to assassinate them for the Kingpin but it didn’t go well. Regardless, the brothers have some intriguing aspects about them, particularly the whole mutant lycanthropy deal that isn’t entirely mutant but also mystical in some ways. We also spend some time on a few extremely tertiary Kingpin associates that find themselves jobbing pretty hard to Frank and Kingpin himself.Promo: CHECKERED PAST (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/checkered-past/id1350233450)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / BlueSky / Threads via @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.
