Smallville Season 11, it"s happening... - Page 42

They should make GL Hal. That way they can tie him in with Hank Henshaw. Pilots and such.

Admiral_Young · May 10 2013, 10:39 PM

Ferris Air has already been mentioned so yeah I'm thinking it'll be Hal.

JD · May 10 2013, 11:28 PM

I just saw that on CBR and had to come here and see what kind of reaction it got from you guys. I'm getting more and more tempted to check this out. Espcially since I appear to be one of the few people here who actually really liked the show. Did Brian Q. Miller ever write for the show?

Admiral James Kirk · May 10 2013, 11:31 PM

Yep.

As usual, you guys have me psyched up to catch up on my reading. I was heartened by the comments Admiral Kirk made about how Lana is being handled, specifically by her own comments. And I'm really psyched to return to the 31st century.

Man, it's a shame that it's taken a digital comic (and a truly gifted writer behind it) to finally make this show what we waited for so long for.

Thanks for the info.

Do we know yet if they are going to go the Buffy route and do a big "season finale", and then come back with a renumbered "Season 12"? Or is it always going to be "Season 11"?

Admiral James Kirk · May 11 2013, 02:22 AM

They're heading for the season finale territory known as the Crisis.

Admiral_Young · May 11 2013, 03:15 AM

@JD we're still fairly early into the season, Miller is treating each arc as an episode of the season so we've got a long while yet to go so I wouldn't compare the structure to the Buffy comic because they're doing that as a traditional comic. I say there's a good chance though we'll get a season 12 next year...but so far we're only around episode 7 or 8.

Finished reading #46 and I agree with what Admiral James Kirk stated above, but it looks like Q granted my wish and undid Kryptonite Woman!

JD · May 11 2013, 03:40 AM

I was wondering how they were structuring the "season". It makes sense to do whole arcs as "episodes" rather than each invididual issues. I just looked and Comixology says the individual issues are about the same length as a standard comic, but I thought these kinds of digital comics were usually shorter than regular comics?

Admiral James Kirk · May 11 2013, 03:46 AM

Four digital issues = one issue of the print book.

Mike Farley · May 11 2013, 06:21 AM

Yeah, two pages of the digital comic are stacked to make one page of the print book.

Admiral_Young · May 11 2013, 08:35 AM

Also the trade for volume one "Guardian" just came out at the end of last month and deals with Hank Henshaw and starts off this wonderful ride so you might want to check it out or pick it up.

JD · May 12 2013, 05:35 AM

I'm pretty much 100% digital, so I was just going to get the first couple arcs that way when I start it.

I just finished reading Smallville: Season 11 #47 not sixty seconds ago and I'm already yappin' about it! What can I say? It's been several weeks since I've read the last chapter of Argo and sadly I can hardly remember what happened in it? When there's a delay between issues and we get the fill ins I really need to do myself a favor and reread those issues before resuming the narrative. Anyway enough of that noise, on with the review!

This issue Superman and Supergirl are reunited. We get a bit of a recap of Supergirl's final appearance on Smallville and then learn about how she arrived in the future and what she's been doing since. It's actually a lot of fun how the Kryptonian's aren't the scumbags in this story. Earthgov is. They're always been a bunch of xenophobic twits and in Argo they're at their twittiest. I mean what kind of moron government would pick a race with a race of Supermen and leave North Korea out of it!

As far as the character's go I love Kara's place in this story and I love her part in the fight between Earth and New Krypton. It promises to be quite dramatic while still being tons of fun. There's a lot of chuffah with the Legion on New Krypton that leads to a fun little cliffhanger involving Supes and the Kryptonians that I hope doesn't play out as a retread of Season 9s Zod plotline.

The artwork is kinda meh in this issue. Clark and Kara look like generic character designs rather than looking like Tom Welling and Laura Vandervoort. I can get past the weak character art but it's difficult because the cover art captures Laura's likeness perfectly.

By and large I liked this issue though I really feel at a disadvantage because I fucked up and didn't catch myself back on the story before starting. Not Bryan Q's fault. All my bad! Looking forward to where this story is going! Smallville: Season 11 is my crack!

I needs me another fix o' the good stuff!
