Superman: Lois Lane #1

This 2014 New 52 one-shot puts Lois Lane front and center where she belongs — her determined face looming large over a Metropolis street scene bristling with police, armored vehicles, and armed figures, while a towering, spindly alien creature dominates the left side of the cover. The tagline "Metropolis, Mayhem and Monsters!" sets the tone perfectly for a story titled "Nostalgia," written by Marguerite Bennett with art from a talented team including Emanuela Lupacchino, Meghan Hetrick, Ig Guara, and Diógenes Neves. Kenneth Rocafort's cover work gives Lois an striking, cinematic presence — sunglasses perched in her hair, cool and unflappable amid the chaos surrounding her.
