C'mon Lois. Calling to complain to your boss while you're on assignment. Isn't that a little bitchy? And furthermore if you're so pissed about the assignment, you're Lois Lane; you go where the story is.
Oh it's convenient that the Amazonians shook up Europe but if the point of the story was to get you into England you should have made it happen. Use your cunning, your smarts. You are not an agent of chance, Lois. You are the resistance. You defy the odds, the patriarchal, meta-human society you report about. You don't run away from trouble you run to it.
This is not your story. This is the story of a damsel in distress tied to the train tracks but with no one to untie her.
The train is coming, Lois. Get up and do something
Seriously. This was not Abnett & Lanning's best work. I had high hopes for this.

I think that you are bringing too much of your own baggage of who Lois Lane is. This is a different universe, maybe Lois does not act like that here.
I totally agree with your review. Also, the art was distracting, what with Lois’s dress barely being there and all. I’m not opposed to that sort of thing, but here it was just out of place.
@MisterJ Maybe so. I’m nothing without my baggage 🙂
I did consider that different universe angle. That b/c there’s no Superman in the Flashpoint universe (maybe?) or rather that b/c Lois and Clark never worked together she never became the hard nose, courageous reporter we’re familiar with (somewhere a feminist is screaming).
It’s plausible but I’m not sure that explanation is b/c Abnett and Lanning wrote in the gaps for me the fill in or b/c their story had holes and I filled them in myself.
@Smasher That is fair enough. I certainly saw the holes too, and I just went with the idea that DnA has been pretty damn good at story telling, so it will be explained later, or it won’t be important to the story.
@Smasher Maybe Lois should actually be tougher, and more hard-nosed, since there’s no Superman around to save her when she gets in trouble.
Or she’s stuck covering fashion because she doesn’t get the big Superman scoop early on which launches her career?
