I know some people got mad, but i loved the decoy protagonist angle they went with. I say that as someone who liked the idea of Lois and Lana being Superwoman together.

I also liked Maggie Sawyer in 5 his issue.

So Lois isn't coming back? Damn. I was hoping her death was the standard Comic Book Death, not part of Super-Lana's origin story.

I liked the idea of the Lois/Lana tag team as well. Cruel of the writers to show us how awesome that was before taking it away. :/

is there no chance Lois comes back?

I'm sure she will be back eventually tho it is quite strange to have her already gone with the 2nd issue.

Wait, since when did Luthor have a sister? I remember she had a daughter named Lena, but I don't remember him ever having a sister. Is that Nu52 thing?

[informationgeek]

She popped up during Johns' Justice League run two years ago. She popped up every now and then afterwards.

Well I search on the DC wikia, turn out she exist since the 60's, but are rarely shows.

Yeah, she's a Silver Age character. She was, for an example, in that original Superman Red/Blue story where Clark (and Clark) brainwashed everyone to be good, and Luthor then proceeded to end world hunger, cure cancer (and, well, the rest of the diseases too) and regrow his hair and then finally allowed himself to be introduced to his sister, who had thought him dead, now that he'd started to atone (through brainwashing) for his villainous deeds.

Lex named his daughter after his sister actually.

As for new 52 Lena, she's been showing up a lot, especially during Lex's time in the Justice League.

[long_silence]

Lex had a half sister in Smallville, Tess Mercer, who I thought was supposed to be a version of Lena. And then they revealed that her birth name was Lutessa Luthor.

Lena Luthor is also going to be in the new season of the Supergirl show, played by Katie McGrath

Didn't Lena also show up in the recent pre-New52 Superboy series? Lex cures her of some illness to prove to Superboy that he's smart enough to do it and then in the ultimate dick move, revealed it was only temporary because Luthor is NOT going to be played by any member of the Super-family and if that means his sister is back to being an invalid, well, so be it.

[rickperry]

I'm pretty sure Lena has always been his sister.

I am really dying to see a team up here. I'm also wondering how long Lois (when she returns from the dead) will keep up the super speed face shielding.
