Some thoughts about Lois Lane #12

Did Lois Lane uncover the truth?

Lois and her team believe that the truth needs to be told no matter if that's what the people truly want in their hearts.

Yeah, what "truth" did Lois uncover at the end? Hell, what "truth" at all did Lois uncover in this book? Serious question that get poor answers.

I at least expected Greg Rucka to deliver a semi-satisfying resolution for this overly-dragged story but at the end it turns that the "plot" mattered very little since this last issue was just a heavyhanded dedicatory to the theme that Rucka wanted to deliver. The mystery? Forget about it since it was basically nothing and its value was very little towards the end. I don't even understand the point of this book being 12 issues long for such an unimportant premise.

Oh, but we got the "truth" theme at the very least right?... Except that also means very little in the grand scheme of things and Rucka seems to believe that he's saying more important things than he actually is. I've suspected this for a while but despite of the usually grounded take on superheroes he usually handles, Rucka is not really that smart, especially when he tackles political and/or profound topics due that he can be overly superfluous and doesn't really offer thought provoking messages. He's not Garth Ennis, he's not Mark Russell and should stop trying to be.

Mike Perkins' art is at least solid with the classic expressive and semi-realistic characters you can expect from him.

Aside from that, waste of time and series.
