Jon Kent surprises his mother with a visit to her hideout in Chicago with big news that ties directly into the events of SUPERMAN #15, also on sale this month. While Lois must deal with her now-17-year-old son making life-changing decisions, the two Questions-Renee Montoya and Vic Sage-try to understand their own confusing continuity.
Despite that, I did love this issue. Rucka is a great writer and he gets to shine here. I really enjoyed the dialogue in this. The issue has a great tone that's very appealing and true to the characters. The art is gorgeous. It's really fun to read. Read Full Review
Rucka and Perkins do great work making Lois and Clark, the first couple in superhero comics, feel somehow both iconic and real. Lois Lane #3 is a stellar book and is highly recommended. Read Full Review
Mike Perkins art is perfect for the dark and serious nature of this story, but Perkins also allows for some light moments, especially at the end of the issue. Read Full Review
Lois Lane is the kind of book I'd envision a modern take on the Margot Kidder spin on the character would look like and it's been a fascinating and thrilling read. DC has something special with this one. Just let's try and avoid any more weird and creepy moments like that last page please. Lois is too intuitive and smart to miss the obvious cues leading up to it resulting in the kind of sight gag that doesn't connect I'd more associate with a Marvel comic. Read Full Review
So overall, we don't get much plot progress on the detention centers, the Russian murders, or other subplots. But this was a great issue to showcase both Lois and Renee. I love issues like this, really fleshing out our characters. I can only hope sales continue to be good and we get an ongoing! Read Full Review
The pace of this book is sometimes surprisingly slow " I think this entire issue takes place in an hour " but it works, and the final page brings in a character I did not expect to see in this book. Rucka seems interested in exploring all areas of Lois' world, and I can't wait to see the rest of this maxiseries. Read Full Review
There are a lot of mysteries and coolness swirling in this comic, but sometimes it's just great to settle in and have an open, honest conversation with one of fiction's greatest romances. Read Full Review
Superman will always ensure Lois' safety. Something like that runs the risk of diluting Lois being able to stand on her own two feet. Lois not only stands up but takes control of the situation because it all boils down to having a job to do. Read Full Review
The page art here really captures the grimy, gloomy mood of Chicago at night. You can almost feel the sticky air and smell the lake. Read Full Review
There's still a lot else happening between these moments of marital consideration, one Question in particular, and that's what makes Lois Lane a consistent joy to read each month. Read Full Review
I had a great time this issue and it feels like it's because this issue wasn't anything like the previous two. The dialog and interactions were fun and endearing, while the side plot did it's job in opening up the continuity, which I always appreciate. Yeah, the art is still hit or miss with me and I still think that the coloring is way too dark, but overall, I really had a fun time with this issue of Lois Lane and hope to get more like this as the series continues.

Lois Lane #3 still feels like a continuation to the love letter to journalism started in the first two issues of the series, but doesn't match the same tone as the story begins to shift to a more personal facet of the titular character. Read Full Review
Did much happen this issue? No, it did not. Turns out, though, that some gorgeous chemistry between Lois and Clark and one hell of an action sequence between two Questions were more than enough. Read Full Review
Keeping things close and personal allows Rucka room to allow the characters to breathe and shine in their element. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Rucka is killing it right now with Lois. Let's see how he goes in this issue.
The Good:
Loving this look into Lois' life.
Lois' and Clark's interactions were really good.
Everything to do with Renee and Vic is great.
The Bad:
Really don't like that cliffhanger at the end. Just doesn't sit right with me.
Feels like Rucka wants to write a Question book instead.
Conclusion:
While it seems like Greg Rucka would prefer to write a Question book instead, he's still doing well with Lois. Though I really dislike the cliffhanger.
I liked the focus on Lois and Supes' relationship in this issue.
"Little privacy please"
This book does not disappoint. It keeps you interested and engaged, but doesn't shy away from more humorous moments.
That ending was hilarious. Awkward as hell for the people involved, but hilarious nonetheless.
A halfhearted argument between Lois and Clark is followed by a confrontation between Questions that is executed in a cheezy manner. The last page is funny but doesn't really fit tonally. The series needs to pick a direction.
The only reason I was interested in this issue was because of the promise that it would define the Question's continuity, but this issue doesn't do that. It just confuses it even more. I'm just hopeful that next issue finally sets it straight. I'm not talking about the other plotline because I just really couldn't care less. Overall, I didn't mind reading this, I just wish I cared.
Thank you for wasting my time on a pointless multi-page fight.
