Lois Lane kind of has a point. In DC�s latest alternate, �dark� take on a classic tale, Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Death of Superman, a Lois Lane consumed with grief channels her energy into seeking revenge on the heroes who were absent during her fianc�s fatal battle with Doomsday.

In the original story, the Justice League at the time�Fire, Ice, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, and Bloodwynd�face and are routinely trounced by Doomsday before Superman arrives and engages with the monster. But where was everyone else? Where was Green Lantern? Or The Flash? Or the rest of Justice League Europe? How about the Titans or the Outsiders? Hundreds of other DC heroes could have come and help the Man of Steel.

Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Death of Superman #1, is the second in a series of oversized one-shots covering just how bad famous DC storylines could have gone, this one takes us back to 1992 and shows us a world where the biggest threat facing the DCU after Superman�s death wasn�t the Cyborg Superman � but Lois Lane.

Unfortunately, to do that it gives us a Lois Lane that�s all but unrecognizable without the logical through-line of how Azrael became a big bad in the previous installment. Things start very similar to how they did in the regular storyline, and one thing that definitely impresses with this book is how Brad Walker recreates the exact feel of a 1992 comic. Little details like Mullet Luthor, obscure characters like Bloodwynd, are all present and pulls you right back to one of the most famous comics of all time. I�m kind of surprised they didn�t get Jurgens back for this comic, since it�s his most iconic storyline, but Walker does an excellent job.

When Superman dies, Lois is immediately consumed with anger and resentment at the rest of the superhero community. She blames them for letting Clark die, and also for doing so little with her powers. There�s a brief scene with Martha Kent where she tries to help Martha deal with Jonathan�s heart attack, but there�s few shades of the Lois we know in this character. Her anger eventually leads her to the Fortress of Solitude, where she encounters a too-late Eradicator believing he�s lost the last Kryptonian. She offers herself to bond with him instead and goes from zero to one hundred � suddenly becoming a killing machine taking her grief out on the world. First Luthor, then Batman, then random corrupt executives who she believes shouldn�t be getting away with technically legal activities.
