Lois has an appointment at the Hamilton Horn. She is welcomed by a woman called Candice. This woman, however, turns out to be an alien.

Lois Lane, formerly known as the famous Daily Planet reporter has now an appointment at the Hamilton Horn.

She is told that her articles are impeccable. Candice wants it to keep it short and tells her that she’s a good fit.

While she is rambling on, Frankenstein wrecks the place and starts hurting Candice. Lois tells him to leave her alone, but he doesn’t listen. Lois puts on her Hell-Bat glove and fends him off for a while before they leave.

Superman arrives and has an epic battle with Frankenstein. Ultimately, Frankenstein holds Candice up and cuts her face. Candice is not a human, in fact, she’s an alien who's called Kroog.
