A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
When Marvel Vs. DC came out in 1996 one of the battles fans really wanted to see was between these two savage brawlers. So having it limited to a single page and taking place out of sight behind a bar may have been considered a cute idea by the editors, but it left the readers very unsatisfied. Maybe one day they will get a proper rematch.

I think the problem in '96 was that Lobo can jam with Superman and Wolverine is essentially an enhanced human. Wolverine won, but no one could present a realistic scenario of just how he does that...
It was the Santy Claws that did it.
Dave sez,
Cool cover!
That was a pretty cheesy out. My guess is that Logan and Lobo are the kind of (over-exposed) characters that no vote could really decide who would win a fight. Wolverine fans would always claim HE should win, while Lobo fans would claim HE should win.
It's a shame that DC and Marvel couldn't produce a mini-series featuring the two... Kinda like that Archie Marries Veronica/Archie Marries Betty... in one reality Lobo would win; in another Logan would win...
Those editors were just being bastiches.
At least Lobo acknowledged Logan's claws as such, instead of calling them nails or something like that.
Shows there was at least some respect in his provocation, considering it's... Lobo...
Shouldn't they be calling each other "Bub" and "Bastich"?
Still, I agree that a book with a proper fight between these two would be welcome.
The readers voted for Wolverine to win.
But that issue's creators couldn't see how Wolverine could win.
So they gave the readers that page, with most of the fight taking place out of the readers' sight and then Wolverine appearing to announce his victory.
Fanon had it, at least at one time, that Professor X bribed Lobo to "lose".
Does Lobo even take Earth money?
All I can think of is:
"We ain't gonna kill each other, Bub, and we ain't gonna knock each other out either -- not with our healing factors. So I say, whoever cuts off the other's head first wins."
"You're on, bastich!"
What I found interesting about "Marvel vs. DC" was that the winner of each of the five reader-poll battles was appearing on TV at the time. ("Lois & Clark," and the Batman, Spider-Man, and X-Men animated shows.) I suspect that the media popularity had an influence on the voters.
