On Lois Lane

Jun 15, 2010 11:15

One of my favourite things about Lois is that there's nothing special about her, except for Lois herself - who Lois decided she would be. Sure her dad's a general and her boyfriend's Superman, but that's not what makes Lois awesome. She doesn't need superfriends, superpowers, or a tragic past to make her great: the character is great on her own ( Read more... )

Absolutely. And it really sounds like most of the internet would, tbh.

Apparently they're giving Jimmy a co-feature in Action Comics. WAT.

I'm a little bitter about Action, ngl. Paul Cornell at DC! HUZZAH! ...He's on a Superbook? Nooooo (I don't care if Superman's not going to be in it, it's the principle of the thing!)

Yes.

Apparently Jimmy Olsen is getting the co-feature spot in Action Comics, so maybe a Lois feature or comic isn't too far down the line?

Pfft. Lois is so much cooler than Jimmy.

Well obviously.

I just think it's interesting because it sounds like they might maybe be trying to recapture the fun-and-wacky kind of stories from the 50s (hopefully including crossdressing), and it makes me wonder if they'll put two and two together and say "Hey! Lois had a comic back then, too!" (Though I wouldn't want them to go with old Lois. 90s/2000s Lois FTW.)

Superman has never done much for me but even I have always known that Lois is awesome.
:)

(I was so pissed off at the Superman Returns, mostly because that is so *not* Lois Lane, that I kept throwing cat toys at the tv screen the whole time I was watching the movie.:)

Comment number two!

I've always been fond of the suggestion that gets floated every now and again for something like Gotham Central, but with journalists. Lois can star, of course!

I just finished Rucka's Adventures of Superman, so I have a major amount of Lois-love right now. They should rename the city Metroplois.

I kind of wonder if Lois strengths aren't derived from the fact that she doesn't have powers, so she has to be outrageously awesome to keep up with everyone else and totally fucking kick the hell out of a male-dominated field. I don't know, I just know that I love it, I love her.

I would read the hell out of a Lois ongoing!
