Smallville Season 11

Smallville returns in April in comic book format!! It'll be a weekly digital/web series with the print of the first 4 chapters coming to comic shops in May.

Set 6 months after the show ended it's essentially Superman yr 1. Chloe is still married to Ollie and now goes by the name of Chloe Sulivan-Queen.

Thank you for starting the thread! I am soooo pumped for this. I was so sad when the series ended. Its like I lost some friends that i see every Friday night. I had always hoped for a continuation, similar to the Buffy franchise. And now we have it! Cant wait for April, the month not our beloved reporter. Haha

The original plan from what I hear is that it was going to be a novel, but novels about comic book heroes lack the magic.

I do have a bit of a problem with this...not that it'll be bad or anything, it's just that it's set in the period between Clark donning the coustume and the final few minutes of the finale, where we know everything is fine and dandy, I thus question where the emotional investment is going to come from for this.

I would have loved to have seen the comic tackle things where the finale REALLY left off, with Clark putting his marraige to Lois on hold to deal with the elevator bomb and other adventures can branch off from there, but I guess I'm asking for too much.

At least two good things come out of this, the first being this will hopefully be able to explain why Clark and Lois hold off their wedding for seven years, why Lex is President etc...though that'll probably take more than just season 11 to tell. Secondly, this will be the first book since the launch of the New 52 to feature a Lois Lane that is emotionally connected to Clark and who also knows his duel identity, a dynamic I've very much missed.

That first print cover is terrible btw.

Looks like they're using the New 52's suit with the blue trunks instead of the classic suit with red trunks that was used in the Smallville finale.
