    I love this book for how it treats the not-so-glamorous life of a reporter who just so happens to be married to the world's greatest reporter. Assuming Rucka and Perkins don't lose interest there's really no reason this should be relegated to just 12 issues. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Jason A. Fleece Nov 7, 2019

    Its thrilling to see as powerful a team like this one tackling as iconic a character as Lois Lane. They really are creating the comics equivalent of a prestige cable drama, and it really is one of the best books on the stands. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

    The Daily Fandom - Kyle Scher Dec 5, 2019

    Lois Lane #5 and #6 continue the overall story of Lois and her life. It delves into journalism and what it really means to be a reporter. It also delves into Lois as a person. The contrast of the flashbacks in #6 with the present is guaranteed to get a reaction out of you. Truly powerful comics right here. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Nov 6, 2019

    Mike Perkins continues to utilize a darkly detailed and beautiful film noir style for the art in this issue and it makes all of the characters not only look fantastic, but it gives their actions added resonance. Read Full Review

    Again, love the subtle expression Perkins gives the Question's face here. Very similar to Denys Cowan's classic take on Vic! So a very good issue. The plots do not vault forward. But I love the slow burn. This is a middle chapter. It is time to add the spice. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Nov 6, 2019

    It's a little too slow-paced at points, but the character work is so good that I'm more than willing to take the ride. And more importantly, this is a take on Lois Lane that makes her work perfectly as a solo hero out of Superman's shadow " for the first time in a while. Read Full Review

    Lois Lane is a quietly powerful story about the truth, justice, and journalism. Don't miss out! Read Full Review

    Two divergent stories are a little light on story content, but they still make for a good comic. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Sean Blumenshine Nov 17, 2019

    This issue is fine. There are some solid moments throughout. Greg Rucka is a great writer so the dialogue is great and the characters feel consistent and engaging. And of course, Perkins' art is amazing. But it's a little slow. I don't think the issue gets enough done. It feels like its struggling to reach the 12 issue length but the execution is solid.

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Nov 6, 2019

    Lois Lane continues to frustrate me because it really feels like the book goes out of its way not to tell us anything that's going on, while focusing more on what terms journalists use while interviewing people and wanting to be more topical than actually telling a story that's compelling.  The art is enjoyable, but this series is really doing nothing for me.

    It's a steep decline from where this series started on all fronts and something that hopefully won't be repeated in the 7 issues to come. Read Full Review
