The story evolves around fearless muscular anti hero bounty hunter superhero Lobo the Duck and his shape shifting canine sidekick Impossible Dawg, who are investigating the murders of several
Amalgam Comics superheroes, including:*

*Aqua Mariner
*Dare The Terminator
*Hawkhawk Minor characters
*
Ambush the Lunatik
*Gold Kidney-lady
*Jonas Turnip
*Kidnoids
*Impossible Dawg Lobo only agrees to find the murderer(s) as the aforementioned heroes had paid him up-front, and soon begins the investigation. Lobo fights his way through
Gold Kidney Lady ,Doctor Bongface and various othersupervillains before he realizes that the end of the world is about to begin, and only he can stop it. (The fate of Lobo the Duck was not revealed, as "Lobo the Duck #2" was cancelled before story drafting could be completed).Throughout the story, Lobo is accompanied by his pet, "Impossible Dawg" (an amalgam of
Impossible Man fromMarvel Comics and Dawg fromDC Comics ), who constantly changes into characters from the Marvel and DC universes in varying shots, including:*
Superman
*Spider-Man
*Galactus
*The Flash
*The Thing
*Kyle Rayner
*Wolverine
*Garko the Man-Frog (A one-offHoward the Duck foe)
*Batman
*The Spectre
*Wonder Woman Miscellanea
*It was decided that Lobo the Duck had taken place outside of
Amalgam Comics continuity in order to please fans who were otherwise upset with the deaths of the major heroes at the beginning of the book.*When Lobo is speaking to Jonas Turnip, some graffiti on the wall reads "Daphy Was Here". This is a reference to
Looney Tunes characterDaffy Duck . A similar gag can be seen earlier when Bevarlene enters the Diner. High on the wall, some graffiti reads: "For a good time, call Huey", as a reference toHuey, Dewey, and Louie .*Lobo the Duck was previously mentioned several times in "
Bat-Thing #1", perhaps as a prelude to Lobo's debut.*In the Supervillain Directory given to Lobo at the Diner, one of the villains listed is "The Waco Kid", a character from the
Mel Brooks film, "Blazing Saddles ", who was played byGene Wilder .
