DC continues to expand its young adult graphic novel offerings with three new titles next spring. Like past titles from DC's YA line, these will feature new perspectives on classic characters – and this time, Lois Lane, Harleen Quinzel, and Static AKA Virgil Hawkins will take center stage.
Girl Taking Over: A Lois Story, written by Sarah Kuhn with art by Arielle Jovellanos, follows teenage Lois as she takes on a summer internship in the big city. Then she uncovers a major scandal and has to team up with someone she never expected, which sends her on a journey of self-discovery that may mean she ends up the focus of a scandal all her own. Lois has worked hard to get where she is, but there's no guarantee her life won't blow up at any moment, which is scary.

Then writer Melissa Marr and artist Jenn St-Onge will team up for The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley, which follows a young Harleen Quinzel as she and her girlfriend, Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy in the DCU), sign up for a clinical research trial. Harleen has two goals: get some extra cash and get her anxiety under control. Unfortunately, what she ends up with is an increasingly spotty memory and mementos from someone she's never met named Jack.
In a Jekyll and Hyde-style tale, Harleen figures out she's sharing her life with Harley, who's her absolute opposite. But maybe she doesn't have to be. Maybe Harleen can embody Harley's anarchic qualities and simply not get caught in the process.
