DC Rebirth Supergirl and Superwoman!

The DC rebirth line of monthly comics will include a new Supergirl monthly title. Plus a first ever Superwoman monthly title. Superwoman is said to be none other than Lois Lane herself!

Lois Lane as Superwoman may not be true at all, a false report.

The Lois Lane thing was something said in jest on the Comic Book Resources forum that Bleeding Cool repeated as fact, nothing is known except the titles at the moment, DC are announcing more details on March 26th.

I'd guess it's more likely to be a renamed Power Girl than anything else, given there are 2 Power Girl's currently in the DCU.

Though as that's one of the less interesting possibilities for who it could be, I hope I'm wrong.

I am going to wait until the Superwoman comic comes out in order to voice my opnion.
The Supergirl monthly should tie-in with the current TV series.

Its been confirmed by dc that lois lane is thenew superwoman. She willhave all the powers f superman, but those powers areslowly killing her.

There is an online Supergirl comic now that ties into the TV show.

The don't think the new Supergirl monthly comic will tie directly with the show but will incorporate elements (they mention the DEO). In this it's not different from Flash or Green Arrow that do not tie into their TV shows much.

The ties to the DEO do pick up elements from the dhow, but Supergirl is younger than in the show and is in high school. "how old is Supergirl supposed to be" is a question that I ask a bit. Sometimes the artists make it a bit unclear, but since her Turner-era return they've made her a teenager. (She was mid-to-late 20's when she died in Crisis, as she was several years after graduating with her masters, and had held several jobs since then.)

Superwoman seems to be Lois Lane:

I'll be buying both at least for a bit. (I'm not sure about the art on Supergirl, but i'll give it a chance.)

I'm also happy to see Greg Rucka return to Wonder Woman, and the Finches leaving. I stopped buying Wonder Woman, which is pretty much unheard of for me. ( I did stop a bit in the 90's when I stopped buying most comics due to budget problems.) I hope that the soft reboot will bring some balance back to the comic.

I was really disappointed with the writing in the WonderWoman 77 online comic when it finally was released as a tradepaperback.
Goes to show you how much faith DC has when they release a comic digitally only and not in print.
Sounds like the Supergirl web comic is an afterthought.

DC doesn't give a shit to their online only comics, with the exception of maybe Injustice. They are just ways to milk more money out of things that are making success

Here's an article about the online Supergirl comic:

I really like the first bit of sample art. The artists look to change regularly -- and to me that's a sign that DC isn't focusing. They're not willing to dedicate a team to the comic. It does look like the write is consistent though, which is good.

And sometimes seeing different artists is a good thing, and gives more of them a chance. It's just ... hard to develop a following when the feel of the book constantly changes.

I've not bought any of it yet, maybe if they give an issue away for Free Comic Book day I'll give it a look. But mostly, the digital only DC comics haven't been their best works.
