Lois Lane surprises in Action Comics No. 1067 – Comic book adaptations and superhero film news

Lois Lane is known for two things in the Superman Comics; her nerves of steel and her commitment to the values ​​of journalism. Both qualities are reflected in Action Comics No. 1067when she takes a surprisingly principled stance towards her husband.

The relationship between Lois Lane and Clark Kent is the focus of the story “In Love. At Work.” Written by Rainbow Rowell, with art by Cian Tormey, the story finds Lois struggling in her new role as acting editor of the Daily Planet. While she has boundless confidence as a reporter, Lois worries that no one will take her seriously as an editor. Her husband assures her that this is not the case, but she still feels the need to assert herself.

The opportunity arises when news arrives that Atomic Skull is running amok. Clark sets out to become Superman in the hopes of convincing the seemingly reformed villain to surrender. This, along with a comment from a new reporter that Clark takes his job seriously, inspires Lois Lane to make a bold decision.

Lois Lane forbids Clark Kent from writing about Superman

When Clark returns from the fight with Atomic Skull, he is ready to write about the incident. However, Lois Lane notices that she has already assigned the story to the new reporter. When Clark questions his wife’s decision, she cites journalistic integrity.

Lois says that Clark is too close to the story in this case, since he spent so much time training Atomic Skull as Superman. Plus, she wanted to give the new reporter a chance to prove herself. When Clark protests that Perry White never had a problem with him writing about Superman after learning his secret identity, Lois sternly reminds him that “I’m not Perry.”

Superman and Lois generally have a good marriage. Given their generally complementary personalities and values, there’s little that could come between them, so it’s interesting to see the two clash over a question of journalistic ethics and workplace drama.
