"The Big Scoop"

Okay, let's get the story out of the way before I trash Lois, a Dam in a town Valleyho is collapsing and George Taylor (Daily Star Editor-In-Chief) wants Clark to cover. Lois says she can do it but Taylor says its a job for a man not a girl. It was at this point Lois decided to screw Clark over, resulting in him getting fired.



Superman saves the town anyway because of course he does, and oh would you look at that he also had to save LOIS...again! This was a pretty nice panel though.



But you know the worst part, the worst part is at the end when Clark says he forgives Lois and shes a total BITCH!



So, if their goal was to make me hate Lois, congrats you've succeed. Overall the issue is just meh, wouldn't be much to talk about save for the complete trashing of Lois so, there is that I guess.

Great classic

Louis Lane is actually a bit of a cow in these early comics LOL! Very ruthless and has no respect for clarke or any men apart from the superman of course! Pure story and fun reading!

There's good action in this, which is what the title promises. But I really hate what Lois thinks of Clark at the end and how she compares him negatively to Superman.

Acabo de presenciar el primer beso entre Superman y Lois Lane en los cómics. Lo interesante es el desprecio tan marcado que siente Lois hacia Clark Kent, en comparación con el amor que empezó a sentir por Superman.

La historia es muy simple. Se trata de un dique que se desploma y pone en peligro a un pueblo llamado Valleyho. El editor del Daily Star se entera de dicho asunto, y le dice a Lois que comunique a Clark para que vaya a cubrir la nota. Lois, tan perspicaz como siempre, engaña a Clark para despistarlo y ser ella quien cubra dicha nota. Entonces, Clark se percata y utiliza su identidad de Superman para llegar a dicho lugar, pudiendo salvar el día y su trabajo como periodista.

Este no ha sido genial, aunque tampoco malo. Simplemente superman, pero sin hacer nada super genial.
