    Watch the new trailer for Cosmos, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    Arriving on Fox and National Geographic channels in spring 2014 as part of a 13-episode series, “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” builds off Carl Sagan’s groundbreaking series of a similar name (subtitled “A Personal Voyage”) seen on PBS more than 30 years ago.

    There’s a lot of geek cred behind the refreshed “Cosmos,“ as Sagan’s widow Ann Druyan, who played a major role in the production of the original series, serves as an executive producer and writer for the new episodes. Astronomer and original writer Steven Soter makes a return, too.

    Lois is the second biggest character in the story, or maybe third behind the antagonist. Lois doesn’t just have a role, she has a crucial role in being an investigative reporter. Just as a tease, at the end of Unchained #2, for example, you see Lois is going down in a plane. The common wisdom and expectation is that Superman is going to come save her. But I want to do a Lois story where she is bad-ass and saves everybody else.

    I promise when you open up #3, you’ll see there’s a lot of fun Lois stuff that starts there, where she is smarter than everybody around her. All I can say is, I really have no bones about saying to you: this is a huge Lois Lane story. I wouldn’t say that to you if it wasn’t. She has a crucial role in it that is much more than any tiny supporting role. She doesn’t need to be saved. She is the key to unraveling the mystery of Wraith, of Ascension, of everything.

    He couldn’t do it without her. I promise you, a lot of Lois and important Lois, and I love writing her.
