Lois Lane: Enemy of the People

Today's post is on Lois Lane: Enemy of the People by Greg Rucka. It is 304 pages long and is published by DC Comics. The cover has Lois Lane on it doing a Superman pose. The intended reader is someone who likes comics, Lois Lane, and mysteries. There is some mild foul language, no sexuality, and mild violence in this comic. The story is told from third person close moving as needed for the story. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Lois Lane has uncovered the story of the century... if she can prove it!
Out of Metropolis and on the road- and carrying a secret that could change the DC Universe forever- journalist Lois Lane embarks on a harrowing journey to uncover a global conspiracy. She's chasing a plot that reaches the highest levels of international power brokers and world leaders. And she's doing it without the Man of Steel's aid.
With their relationship currently dominating the tabloids, Superman isn't the best backup for her while she's trying to lie low. Instead, she's joined by Renee Montoya, a.k.a. the Questions. As the duo digs deeper, the threats around them grow. Someone obviously wants Lois Lane dead, but is she a target because of what she already knows or because of what she's close to finding out?

Review- A very fun and interesting comic that knows how to use Lois. Lois is a reporter and she is best when she is on the trail of a big story that no one wants her to discover. Lois is trying to uncover what is behind a string of people who cannot remember who they are. Add in some political drama of the government behaving badly and Lois has a hit out on her. Of course, she doesn't let that stop her, no instead Lois uses that to find the answers to her story. It is not all Lois all the time, her relationship with Renee Montoya adds depth to the story with them working to together and fighting for answers. Lois and Clark have some moments too but they are just to help the reader understand and place their relationship. A great run and I would love more comics following Lois doing her thing. 

I give this comic a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library.
