  Get ready to crank “Somebody Save Me…”and feel like the show never ended!

 DC Comics The Source announced SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 by former Smallville show writer Bryan Q. Miller, the new digital first series will be published digitally on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter.  The online chapters will be offered in a print periodical, along with an episode guide to the hit television series, with the first print issue released on May 16.

  The new comic book series continues where the show ended (with Clark officially now as Superman) and along with fan-favorites Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Chloe Sullivan-Queen, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and General Lane.  The book features an all-star creative team – including print cover artist Gary Frank, digital cover artist Cat Staggs and interiors by Pere Perez.

  “Six months after Clark Kent donned the cape and took to the skies to save Earth from Apokolips… enter Season 11!” declares Miller.  “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.”

 

Congratulations to patient Smallville fans! Enjoy1
