While she has been featured prominently in both Superman: Leviathan Rising #1 and Event Leviathan #1 in the last few weeks and is the backbone of DC’s ongoing Action Comics and Superman comics, Lois Lane’s story in 2019 has only just begun. What comes next for our intrepid reporter you might ask? Well, the answer is Lois Lane, a new 12-issue maxiseries by writer Greg Rucka and artist Mike Perkins, that launches on July 3rd, 2019.
Lois Lane has always embodied hardboiled, tough-as-nails, investigative journalism. A woman who has never worried about speaking truth to power and is the best investigative reporter in the DCU; a detective who has contact information for almost everyone in the DC universe. And after researching a widening international conspiracy, Lois has no reservations about putting herself in the crosshairs of the story she’s after.
In her new series, Lois Lane is on the road and out of Metropolis—and carrying a secret. After a press briefing at the White House, Lois embarks on a harrowing journey to uncover a plot that reaches the highest levels of international power brokers and world leaders. Critically acclaimed and best-selling author Greg Rucka and master storyteller Mike Perkins, along with colorist Paul Mounts and letterer Simon Bowland, team up for a tale of conspiracy, intrigue, and murder that pushes even Lois to her limits.
And from what we can see so far, she’s definitely onto something. With Mike Perkins also contributing the main cover and a stunning variant provided by Jenny Frison you can be sure this one will be flying off the press. And the intrigue only deepens in the following issue, which will see Lois not only hide her big secret from her husband but also go on to form an alliance with someone from the mean streets of Gotham.
Lois Lane #1, “Enemy of the People,” hits shelves July 3rd 2019.
