Lobo #39
In "2 Issues Before the Mast, Part I: Bounty on 'The Mutiny'," Lobo stumbles into a space-faring pirate crew after being press-ganged into service at a distant bar, joining Captain Rehab—a head and scattered limbs in a jar—on a hunt for a monstrous, whale-like beast in deep space. Written by Alan Grant and illustrated by Carl Critchlow, with inks by Mark Propst and colors by Gloria Vasquez and Android Images, this wild, offbeat adventure blends absurd humor with high-stakes space piracy, all wrapped in a cover by Critchlow and Propst.

Lobo is drinking in a local watering hole (in space) when he gets press ganged into service on a pirate ship (in space). He half-heartedly joins Captain Rehab's rag-tag crew as they pursue the behemoth that put the good captain in a jar (did I mention that Rehab is just a disembodied head and a few body parts floating in a jar). They catch up to the behemoth and harpoon the beast but Lobo has drunk the poison meant to poison the creature so it just turns around and swallows the ship. Oh, and the clever bit is that the behemoth looks exactly like a great, white whale (in space).
