Lois Lane: Fallout, a new YA novel about a teenage Lois starting high school in Metropolis, isn’t out until May, but now you can get a first look at this Lois in Lois Lane: A Real Work of Art, a free short story by the book’s author, Gwenda Bond. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of Lois Lane: Fallout and it is fantastic; trust me, you’re going to want to read it. It’s the Lois we all know and love, just younger, and she’s got a nose for news even as a teen.

The novel begins with Lois starting a new school, determined to make a fresh start after every other school she attended as a military brat had resulted in a new, ominous addition to her permanent record. Lois is a born troublemaker who refuses to sit idly by when something seems suspicious, and the lengthy file that accompanies her to Metropolis is a testament to that. Her plan to blend in at her new school quickly goes off the rails in the novel, but this new short story is an earlier tale set another school, a sort of trip back through Lois’ legendary permanent record.

Much like the novel, the story begins with Lois’ first day at a new school. She’s been assigned to an art class, so what sort of trouble could come from that? Paint a picture, have a nice time, make some friends. Easy peasy. But, not at all surprisingly, Lois soon finds herself on the trail of a mysterious teacher, and things escalate from there. The story is a lot of fun, and a great introduction to the new, teen Lois.

Lois hasn’t had much to do in comics as of late, so it’s very exciting that she’s about to star in her own YA novel. And you can get your Lois fix right now with this free short story! I highly recommend checking it out, and picking up Lois Lane: Fallout on May 1. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
