The written word has always been Superman’s main squeeze Lois Lane’s strongest weapon – Switch Press are taking this to its natural conclusion with the announcement of new book Fallout, written by Gwenda Bond.

Marvel created similar books around She-Hulk (via bizarrely-titled The She-Hulk Diaries) and Rogue from X-Men, so it seems DC are looking to get a bite of the papery action. While the big comic book players are easing into lady-led movie projects with all the momentum of a walrus into a bath of baked beans, at least the printed page is proving to be a strong ally for girls everywhere.
