November 9, 2013: Marguerite Bennett on Lois Lane One-Shot

Lois Lane #1 ComicVine.com spoke exclusively with Marguerite Bennett about her upcoming "Superman: Lois Lane #1" one-shot which the writer describes as "an adventure story - a sci-fi noir, if you will. Lois Lane is the first lady (queen? khaleesi?) of DC Comics, and I was in fits to offer up a story worthy of her. There's an elegance to the structure and a poignance to the plot that I hope won't strike a nerve so much as twist it, and leave our readers avid for more."

Here's a little bit more from the interview...

    CV: With so much still fuzzy in the New 52, how are you approaching fleshing out Lois' backstory and relationship with her father and sister?

    MB: I absolutely want to uncoil these roots for Lois, show the deep and vibrant relationships she maintains beyond Superman. I want her friends and her family. The story I hope to tell is one prominently about two women and their relationship - the love, bitterness, loyalty, ambition, and regret that comes from living in two worlds. I mayn't say such else right now, but I really and truly hope you'll enjoy her story.

    CV: Will Superman play any part in the story or will you get to focus just on Lois?

    MB: Superman is an aspect of Lois's story, but in the New 52, so much of what Lois is capable of can be seen in who she is beyond Superman. Not without, which I think implies a noticeable absence, a fault, a lack - but beyond him, head high, hair streaming, heroic in her own right, braving a superhuman world on beautifully human terms.
