Lobo Annual (Volume 2) #1 is an issue of the series Lobo Annual (Volume 2) with a cover date of August, 1993.
Synopsis for "Hounds of Blood"
A L.E.G.I.O.N. squadron is sent to investigate a strange and unfamiliar alien craft by Vril Dox, who's attempting to audition Officer Layla for bigger things, by testing out how she does when put in charge of someone like Lobo. Lobo agrees to go on the mission because the craft is in the vicinity of the Poiple Gang, who had previously stolen his Spacehog. Although Lobo at first causes trouble for Layla, she hypnotizes him and forces him to obey her while acting like a Dog, much to Lobo's anger. Aboard the ship, after Lobo has slain almost all of the Poiples, the group discovers a long dormant race of shapeshifting Alien Parasites awakened by their arrival. The aliens feed on spinal fluids, and quickly massacre all of the L.E.G.I.O.N. operatives with the exceptions of Lobo and Layla, who are barely able to escape (although Layla is unconscious, and has been bitten). Lobo has a final duel with the leader of the Poiple Gang (Cap'n Poiple), defeats him and throws him to the parasites as a distraction to make his final escape. When Layla comes to, they discover that she is much much stronger and tougher than she had previously been, presumably due to the aliens interaction with her DNA. After Lobo blows a hole in the Parasite's ship with a time bomb, he and Layla escape safely back to the L.E.G.I.O.N. Cruiser, and report back to Vril Dox, who remains angry that they did not attempt to preserve the unfamiliar alien life.
