TV/film writer/producer Kate Perkins – or K Perkins – has written a batch of DC New 52 Superbooks, including the Crucible storyline with Mike Johnson in Supergirl, and solo on the Superman/Wonder Woman annual and one of the Vertigo SFX Quarterly volumes.
And as of April it appears that she is joining the DC Rebirth line, taking over from Phil Jimenez on Superwoman, the adventures of Lana Lang given superpowers and trying to live up to the legacy of Lois Lane who died under the same name.
Drawn by Stephen Segobia and Art Thibert, April’s issue kicks off a new series, Superwomen with Lana Lang meeting up with the Pre-52 version of Lois Lane. SUPERWOMAN #9 Written by K. PERKINS • Art by STEPHEN SEGOVIA and ART THIBERT • Cover by BILLY TAN • Variant cover by RENATO GUEDES
“SUPER WOMEN” part one! In this story tying in to “Superman Reborn Aftermath,” Lois Lane and Lana Lang find themselves reunited at last! Along with the Man of Steel, their reunion is cut short by the return of Cannon and Saber, who arrive to wreak havoc on the newly restored Metropolis. The mantle of Superwoman will be decided in this debut chapter of “Super Women”!
Cool, I really liked her Supergirl run. Can't be worse than Jimenez in any case.
Easton Gomez
New to DC but who ?
Isaiah Watson
Oh thank god. I look forward to the Lois/Lana relationship being explored.
Leo Evans
Cool, should be a better read than what we've been getting so far.
Noah Long
It literally says right there, dumbass.
Thomas Wright
damn, wonder who's gonna be replacing Segovia on action Comics.
Ethan Lee
Probably Tony Daniel. He recently announced that he is leaving Justice League.
Tyler Harris
Based DC, having all the hot female comic book creators.
Jonathan Watson
>DC Comics: The Most Fuckable Comics Publisher?
James Stewart
Huh, wonder why Jimenez is leaving? Superwoman seemed like a personal project
Perkins' Supergirl was good so I'm looking forward to this though
Elijah Hernandez
He teaches at an art school in New York and he's rumored to be working on something else, so I bet it's for time management reasons. I'm sure DC isn't too broken up about it since the book's sales are so bad.
Bentley Jenkins
It's true Have you seen Geoff
Jonathan Thomas
Yeah, he's working with Geoff johns on the watchmen storyline apparently
Good for her... Hope she can turn the book around...
Camden Martin
have you seen Marguerite Bennett
Xavier Lee
...
Colton Rivera
...
Parker Cox
oh ya imma cum
Kevin Roberts
That was BEFORE. for now see
Caleb Lopez
Wow if you switch from Marvel to DC you lose like 150lbs.
The DChads meme is real
Thomas Rodriguez
Perkins wrote my favorite Supergirl of New 52
Ryder Ortiz
Same. Also a decent Kon before he went to limbo.
Eli Brown
Is she a lesbian?
Charles Richardson
...
Hudson Flores
Jamie Lee Curtis?
Carter King
I though she was only taking over temporarily? She can't do a worse job than Jimenez, Superwoman is easily the worst Rebirth title.
Mason Jenkins
That's not Blue Beetle
Juan Morgan
So how can she save SuperWoman?
Luke Jackson
Blue Beetle is the most disappointing, we were promised crazy Jaime and Ted Blue Beetle team-up. Instead we got a kinda boring Jaime does stuff and Ted says stuff over the radio series.
Superwoman has been bad. Page after page after page of monotonous, tedious and completely unnecessary dialogue and an arc that's dragged on way too long with nothing really happening.
Hudson Smith
On one hand I'm glad it's probably going to get better. On the other hand I was kind of looking forward to saving a bit of money by dropping it.
Colton Barnes
>the Crucible storyline
Lesbian Maxima just completely misses the point though. She's supposed to be a Rape Lady from Space, looking for prime breeding stock.
