June 2019.

New ongoing Lois Lane title by Greg Rucka and Mike Perkins!


Can. Not. Wait.

Long overdue!

I'll even shell out the $10 for the preceding LEVIATHAN one-shot!

You and me both

Best news this month, bar none. Excited as all hell.

Eh, for the Saturday morning nostalgia kid in me, I'd have to give the top news spot this month to the reveal of that Batman and Ninja Turtles movie. But this still comes in pretty high up the list!

so what will be the main focus of the series?

[Armor of God]

She's getting a TV show where she's co lead if not basically the lead depending on how the Lex thing goes in the show, so probably expect the comics to play ball around that time. They're probably waiting for the show to start up so they can roll that out.

I dont think that show is happening, last I heard it was being reworked ehich is just another of saying canned. DC immediately announced Swamp Thing after and its filming/filmed.

Phew, it’s not written by Bendis.

A solo Lois Lane series won't sell nearly well enough in today's market. Sure Lois can work as a regular supporting character in a Superman comic and get extremely popular as a result.But most fans won't turn up to buy a Lois solo series. I'm not talking about fans on here, I'm talking about most fans in general. Most fans would rather have a Conner Kent/Young Justice series or a Shazam/Captain Marvel than for Lois Lane to have a solo comic. The comic book industry is a business first at the end of the day so at best, Lois gets a one shot or a mini series. A solo is nigh impossible in an industry where a fan favourite Superman run sells at 40K consistently.

I’m afraid you’re right.
It’ll be canned within a year.

OK, that set-up was more than a bit obvious: I'm talking about Lois Lane, the Greatest Supporting Character in Fiction*.

No, That's wrong. For comic books, that honor can be given to Sir Alfred Pennyworth or J Jonah Jameson.

It’s a subjective opinion mate. Lois has been around longer than either of those two.

[Miles To Go]

Too bad my idea of a Lois and Jon book won't bear fruit...though I expect the members of the Super family to inevitably make apperances. Hopefully this ongoing gives me a little more of what I wanted from the Catwoman solo but was denied in favour of the same old ****. Let's see how Lois juggles solo adventures with her modern marriage and be able to keep the title interesting.

Lois and Mary Jane.

[manwhohaseverything]

Actually, Alfred is in the running for the greatest supporting character in comic books. He is pretty much universally liked. Lois even though great has some detractor who don't care for her.

[adrikito]

I saw this before but I never talked about that.. Congratulations for the serie Lois.

[Flash Gordon]

Lois by Rucka and Jimmy by Fraction....damn that is rock solid.

[Jackalope89]

Hopes?
That Rucka ignores the "modern family" BS that Bendis shoved into the series.

Fears?
That Rucka won't be able to ignore it, and will be forced to make it so.

[Ishmael]

With Rucka as the writer this is an automatic buy. Can't wait.
