Overall, this was another excellent entry into Rucka's 'Lois Lane' mini-series and should hopefully alert DC that audiences are eager for more stories about our favorite intrepid reporter, Read Full Review

This issue could have easily been more mundane. In any twelve-issue series there is a formula to follow in terms of the development of the overall plot. Because of this an issue #8 of a series is not meant to move readers, instead just to move along the story. That is partially the case here, but there is a bit more. The series has aimed to tackle broader issues and it does so here, albeit in subtle ways. So while the series is catching its breath in terms of pacing, there is no dropoff in social commentary.

Lois Lane is on its home stretch and the creative team stays on point with their subtle message that this is a highly viable character and premise to last beyond 12 issues. Read Full Review

Greg Rucka's Lois Lane #8 continues the pattern of the series " it's a great Greg Rucka comic, but I'm not sure it's a great Lois Lane comic. Read Full Review

Will we learn her connection to Leviathan? Why was he hunting her? Who is she anyways? I suppose this is another plot nudge. But these are crumbs. I don't mind long form story telling. But how I wish things were moving a bit faster. Read Full Review

Mike Perkins' art is beautiful to look at. The use of darkness and shadow throughout gives rich depth to the characters and a gritty, detective style feel to the story. Read Full Review

There are strong elements in Lois Lane, but the overall series reads as a muddle and doesn't appear capable of improving upon that. Read Full Review

I didn't love this issue. It's fine; the art is great and the dialogue is fun. But nothing else really grabbed me. This whole series has felt strange lately. I loved it early on but I'm not sure where it's going and I don't know if I care anymore. It is by no means bad but it's disappointing to me. Read Full Review

The monumental change in the Superman status quo had to permeate to the Lois Lane mini-series eventually. Now that it has, hopefully, this unfortunate offering is the exception instead of the new norm for what has been a great series. Read Full Review

There's a lot of nothing going on in this issue and with eight issues down I'm wondering what the overall plot of this series is because it feels so far removed from where we started, beyond an attempt on Lois' life, but even here we continue to go off on weird tangents that seem to be just padding out the issue and sadly, I'm still not a fan of the art for this series.

Prelude:
Lois Lane has been a good book but has struggled with being swept up with whatever is happening in Superman currently. Let's see how that fares with this issue.

The Good:
I did like the Superman scenes.

Perkins' art is good but not at the level it has been.

The Bad:
Kiss of Death is pointless, could literally be anyone else.

Conclusion:
Passable but the best parts of the story are Superman related which is a slight problem in a Lois Lane focused book.

Garbage tbh. At least there’s a sort of plot now, we all want to find the skeleton lady don’t we? We’re only 8 issues in, after all. That’s how many issues it takes to develop a plot, right???

This miniseries is going nowhere fast.

Line your bird cage with this maxi series.
