Because It'd Be Cool...

I want a new Lois Lane comic.

I think it could be neat! Exploring Lois Lane as a reporter and getting into all sorts of trouble and getting out of it without necessarily always needing the Man of Steel for a rescue.

Mostly I just think Lois is neat enough to merit her own comic. She can be married to Clark and still have her own fun adventures, just like Superman can have his. Besides, it'd be really neat to have a comic with plots themed around investigative reporting in the DCU without using it as another excuse for spandex.

It could be fun, especially if it takes on a bit more of a mystery appeal. There's always a market for plucky female investigators. Veronica Mars was a very popular show and the new Nancy Drew movie is a good indicator that the market's willing.

Lois might be older than those protagonists, but that doesn't make her any less determined and plucky. Besides, it doesn't have to be centered around Lois TODAY, even, it could be Lois Lane as a teenager. We've seen a lot of Clark-as-a-teenager premises after all, why not his wife?

It'd be interesting because it's not a superhero comic exactly but it'd still be firmly entrenched in the DC Universe. (I love superhero comics, don't get me wrong, but there's also a lot of room in the shared universe for other genres aside.)

Lois has spunk and attitude, toughness and charm. She deserves more time in the spotlight.

Besides, considering how the Batclan has comic spinoffs up the wazoo, there's no reason Superman's cast can't do the same.

You can't tell me NIGHTWING is more deserving of his own title than Lois freaking Lane. :-)
