Smallville Season 11 debuts in comic book form April 13
The new comic book series picks-up where the show left off (with Clark officially now as Superman!) and features other fan-favorite characters including Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Chloe Sullivan-Queen, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and General Lane. The book features an all-star creative team - in addition to Miller, Smallville Season 11 creators include print cover artist Gary Frank (Superman Secret Origin), digital cover artist Cat Staggs and interiors by Pere Perez (Batgirl).
Miller stated the following.
"Six months after Clark Kent donned the cape and took to the skies to save Earth from Apokolips... enter Season 11! New allies abound! New enemies afoot! And old friends return where they're least expected! Pere and colorist Chris Beckett have done a fantastic job of capturing the look of the show and the players, and Gary and Cat are knocking it out of the park on covers. I couldn't be more excited to help give seasoned viewers and new readers an all-access pass to Clark's first year in the cape."
Smallville: The Complete Series DVD is available on DVD now.

The last episode made me want another season of Smallville were Clark is Superman, but I guess a comic will do.

Gary Frank is a great artist, he did great work on the Superman: Brainiac graphic novel with Geoff Johns, drawing Supes and Lois in the likenesses of Reeves and Kidder.
Personally, I am not at all surprised by this. With the recent downfall of Superman due to the Siegel Estate greedily taking their rights back, DC has had to think of creative ways to keep Superman alive in comics. Secret Origin was one idea. This is another.
I assume they decided to carry the show into comics because of the success of Whedon's Buffy: Season Eight.

@corey@bawnian-dexeus@addictionnonfatel@cupid But what I'm trying to say is nearly every fan I've read about, talked to, heard from (not specifically you guys) have highly hated the show midway through. But then something like this is announced after an end that was decent for the show and everyone just spazzes with excitement. My comment kind of meant if you know it hasn't been good, and there's still that chance it won't change, why get excited and fill producers' brains with sequels, spin-offs, etc. ?

@corey Dude thats what i was always looking for man a episode of smallville when Clark meets Bruce as he's now started to become the Bat @bawnian-dexeus Supergirl yes but Lana she made it so far in the series most people just had enough of her like myself plus she now has super powers but cant come close to Clark so it ended in a way that they'll never meet again which was cool, cant wait to see the relationship between Clark(Superman) and Lex.

@ROFLitschristian Personally, I think the series started going down hill two seasons after it started! After the that, the next 8 seasons sucked!

@corey At this point ,I'm happy with any story they come up with. We might see Supergirl return too. And, dare I write it, Lana. Its a long shot, but boy would I love to see her back

@bawnian-dexeus I doubt Nolan's Batman would be involved in this, but that'd be awesome. We could still see a Smallville verson to the Bat though. @cupid I'd like a season where Clark meets Wayne and see the relationship between the two of them. Maybe the comics can reach as far as into a 12th season!

@corey No doubt man, they'll be in it for sure, what about wonder woman and batman making guest appearances think that will be possible? if it happens that will be awesome.

@corey Would be great to see them. However, I would love to see if the old villains return with a vengeance, all mature and complete

@cupid@bawnian-dexeus do you guys think Chloe and Oliver will appear in the comics? I'd like to see more of their relationship.
I hope Petey returns too! They should have included him the finale. Big mistake if you ask me.

@ROFLitschristian Not everyone. Myself, @cupid, and @bawnian-dexeus are all hardcore Smallville fans here on MW. This idea is awesome, and it may even bring us closer to a possible mini-series event or TV Movie in the near-future. Stoked for what this brings.

@corey But wasn't it not too long ago that everyone was talking about how they were ready for it to end because it was going downhill? A comic isn't going to change a sloping story, just the budget.

@corey If you have to pay for them it should only be one dollar per issue.

First Smallville rips off the Superman Returns suit, now they're ripping off The Man Of Steel's suit as well? Small time hald ass TV needs to come up with their own idea of a suit!

terrific stuff! Im always wondering what life was like after Clark flew off that building plus if anyone mentions Tess again and if Clark and Lois ever do tie the knot

I'm happy however I would of like to seen a two part miniseries (4 hours long all together) on this or a new series. And to "mutant" no disrespect at all...but Tom welling wasnt the problem in other projects it was the story itself.

Just bring it back to TV for five more seasons. Welling just isn't good in other projects
