Someone wanting to kill Lois Lane is nothing new for the famed reporter, but is it because of something she knows or something she's about to uncover? Plus, this issue ties to the events of December's Superman #18 and the gigantic status quo shift for both Lois and her husband, Superman, when the Man of Steel decides to reveal his identity to the world.
Lois Lane #7 ends on a bang, brings back some characters Rucka is known for and has some great small human moments that empower the rest of the story. Its nice to be back in the major events despite how good Lois Lane #6 is. And who doesnt love Renee casually flirting with a maid that turns out to be a supervillain? Read Full Review
This is a mainstream DC comic but it has the feel of something that someone might read from Image. Because of that, really, every fan of comics should be reading this series, which looks like it will only get better. Read Full Review
The only big flaw in the issue is that its over too soon. Something about the issue feels slight, and an early sequence in the UK feels tacked on out of nowhere. These are small quibbles, though, and overall, Lois Lane #7 is a strong entry in a strong series. Read Full Review
Greg Rucka deserves a lot of credit for producing a highly entertaining installment, despite ignoring the reveal of Superman's identity. The use of minor story elements to maximum effect proves that in this series, everything counts, no matter how small. Read Full Review
Another great issue of Greg Rucka's Lois Lane comic contains everything that makes this series so much fun, from playful banter to solid journalism. Read Full Review
Yet another amazing chapter in the saga of LOIS LANE. The creative team meshes brilliantly to tell a story full of intrigue and high stakes. Read Full Review
This title has always been a slow-burn mystery, but I don't think Rucka gets nearly enough credit for the acerbic humor in his dialogue. Read Full Review
Lois Lane stands head and shoulders above most other mainstream comic books, and issue seven is no exception. If you're looking for a mature, intelligent, and suspenseful alternative to tights-and-flights, this is absolutely a book for you! Read Full Review
Lois Lane delivers satisfying DC Universe adventures in journalism and politics week after week. It's a series worthy of the titular character. Read Full Review
Mike Perkins tone and style continue to be perfectly matched for the gritty detective story Rucka is telling with this series. The last few pages are fantastic and filled with the tension I was hoping to experience throughout the entire issue. Read Full Review
In spite of the unnecessary plot device, Rucka and the creative team craft an enjoyable and well-paced chapter in the ongoing detective story. Readers will see this as a filler chapter in an otherwise strong run. Read Full Review
I like this series. But this particular issue fell a little flat for me. It is still one of the better books on the shelves these days. But I expect so much more!! Read Full Review
This issue of Lois Lane disappoints again in my mind as it takes the majority of the issue to remind people what this series is all about after all the interruptions it keeps having. The problem with that too is, I find myself not digging the plot of the story and being reminded of it here did nothing for me until the cliffhanger and as for the art........ I'm still not a fan of that either. Read Full Review
When the seeming non sequitur at the start of the issue is the most engaging element of the entire entry, perhaps it's time to pack things in and wrap it all up, because it's not even entirely clear what Lois Lane is about past its halfway point. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Rucka's Lois Lane has been on solid ground so far. Let's see if he and Perkins can continue that trend in this issue.
The Good:
I still like the reporter aspect here.
Some teasing around the Superman identity was nice.
Perkins' art is good like usual.
The Bad:
I'm unsure on that cliffhanger.
Very little progression.
Conclusion:
While I am unsure with the future of this series, it was a good issue. Keeps with it's themes but I wish it wasn't so slow.
Despite some great art and good character work, things sputter a bit. And is that supposed to be Mister Bones at the end? Or someone else?
Man, does Greg Rucka even know what he's writing about? We've all collectively lost the plot, it seems. And what is with the faces in this issue? Everyone gets Question masks for next issue. Oh btw, where'd that subplot go? Guess it was lost with the plot. The only thing about this issue that is worth reading is the Letterkenny reference, because maybe it'll get more people to check that show out. Ironically, that show probably has a more robust plot than this comic. If you watch the show, you'll realize what a burn that is.
Wow they’re both such good detectives, such keen investigative insight. Obviously a woman could never be under suspicion, who would even think that? I mean, come on, she was HOT! No further questions am I right fellas.
