I thought this was cute! It wasn’t the best Lois Lane story I’ve read, but I love that this could have been her start to reporting. It was super cute and fun. Just wasn’t my favorite Lois story.

Absolutely no growth for Lois or repercussions for her extremely selfish actions across the book.

I liked it, but it's best to think of the MC as a character different from THE Lois Lane. This one is kind of a selfish brat, but I liked her big reactions and found it entertaining. Friendship, comedy, strong female characters, and no romance, it's pretty much on target for me.

Initial Thoughts: This graphic novel was really enjoyable! It was a fast read for me and I loved the storyline. The GN focuses primarily on a friendship storyline. There's a little mystery involved too and if you have background knowledge on who Lois Lane is, it's fun watching her character as a tween/younger teen. The art in this one was super fun! I enjoyed how bright and colorful the graphics were. This one will definitely appeal to graphic novel fans -- especially fans of Smile or Roller Girl. It was a bit shorter, I believe than those graphic novels, but it was just an overall fun read! I enjoyed it a lot. I also really felt like each of the characters had a personality that was individual and seemed to jump off the page -- I really think the text and the graphics did this combined so well. Anyway, I'll have a longer review to come! Thank you to NetGalley and DC Entertainment/Comics for allowing me to read an advanced eARC in exchange for a review!

Lois Lane, to me, is the hero for little girls to look up to. A strong, independent journalist, with strong skills in sleuthing. And, I suppose she had to start somewhere, but this story, of where she started being interested in journalism just felt off to me. There was nothing of the future Lois here, nothing at all. Yes, she was forceful, but in a very, very annoying way. This took me a while to read it, I kept starting and stopping, because I didn't like this version of Lois as a young girl, and I was bored with it, frankly.
The basic story is the Lois wants to win a contest, and her best friend just want to hang out with her, and solve mysteries. There are also a few other people thrown in for good measure, but Lois misunderstands everything, and is super annoying.
When the writers wrote about young Wonder Woman, that was a growing story, and she was generally good at heart, and you could see the woman she would grow up into. In this, I didn't. Added to this, that Lois was annoying, did I mention how annoying she was, and I didn't want to finish reading this, even to figure out who the villain, so to speak was.
So, unless you are a completeist, on this young versions of future comic characters, I would pass on this one.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book annoyed the crap out of me. This isn’t Lois Lane at all—she’s so greedy and selfish. I had to read the book in chunks just to get through it, it’s that bad. Holy geez, why the heck did they decide to write a story like this? Cute art can’t save it when the main character is this godawful.

I was so excited to see a Lois Lane graphic novel being added to the DC Zoom line-up. Unfortunately, I didn't really like this as much as I expected to. Lois was rather annoying and unlikeable at times. I do think it's a good starting point for more Lois graphic novels, especially with the ending. The art is the highlight of the book! It's bright, fun, colorful, and extremely engaging.

This rating is based on an ARC provided by Netgalley / DC Comics. I thought I would enjoy this as much as it’s predecessors but I found Lois Lane to be a terrible character. I understand how her personality ties into the plot and mystery but she’s so cruel to her friends. I did love the illustrations, just didn’t care for the story.
