Classic "Smallville" title. Jetfire! We're gonna need the weekly threads again!

I'm not sure I could handle doing weekly SV threads again, AY!

Thanks to Jet for the above link.

Bryan Q. Miller discusses season eleven. They pretty much touch on everything that would be asked about this project from the genesis of it to Lex's role.

I wonder how long each "chapter" is, and how big the monthly will ultimately be.

I don't think that is what Broc means. It has been mentioned in the articles already in the thread that the first "series" is eleven issues. My guess is they will divide the season in half. Eleven issues, weekly, then hiatus just like the show, then another eleven issues for a total of twenty two "episodes".

Gary Frank draws Tom Welling as Superman almost exactly like he drew Superboy or Young Clark in Secret Origin.

ncc71877 · February 14 2012, 05:18 AM

oh, I see, I got from the article that if each "episode" is 10-12 chapters, then the episodes would be three print issues.

might have read it wrong though.

Broccoli · February 14 2012, 05:20 AM

ncc had it right to what I was wondering. From what I can tell from an interview linked in the New52 thread, the first "episode" will end up being something like twelve weekly chapters or roughly three issues long.

Admiral_Young · February 14 2012, 05:32 AM

My mistake. I just assumed each episode would equal one episode...but yeah that's probably naive of me to equate the two.

Why not?

It's like the only time I get to talk to you.

Guy Gardener · February 14 2012, 10:07 AM

But we talked about Smallville because it was a wanton disappointment drilling towards new catastrophic depths of painful cruelty each week.

We survived Smallville.

But what if... This comic is good?

Besides the truly wrong thing with Smallville was that it was too cheap to keep a third tier of supporting actors on set for involved subplots, and in a comic there's absolutely no reason to be cheap.

Gods.

In the comic they could actually afford to have Terrance Stamp make an Appearance... Unless he sued after he saw how much money they were making on T-Shirts plastered with his likeness, which is "unlikely"?

Oh.

Is Zod running for President again?

...Would they drop the Bat-Embargo for this? I'm guessing not, since this would be considered continuation of the canon...

Chloe told Clark (after she disappeared for a while, thanks to Checkmate) that she'd encountered a rich guy with all sorts of gadgets and a "wonderous woman" who'd give Clark a run for his money.

Obviously, she'd met Bruce and Diana. DC's longtime trio does exist in the SMALLVILLE universe.

Admiral_Young · February 15 2012, 11:13 AM

Yeah I remember the references to Diana and Bruce. The Bat-Embargo doesn't mean they can't have sly references. It means they can't actually show the character or name him outright which she didn't do in the episode. I'd actually would like one of the new allies that Miller mentions end up being the Smallville version of Wonder Woman. That'd be pretty cool.

Sketcher · February 16 2012, 11:18 PM

Does anyone else get the gnawing feeling that the 11 year-old cocktease will continue, and that the only glimpses of Clark as Superman will be on the covers?

CorporalClegg · February 16 2012, 11:24 PM

Probably if anything to say about it, Welling has.

Actually, for as much as we all crabbed about the show during it's final two seasons, I do miss those days... Hell, the weekly commentary was usually far more entertaining than the show itself!

You should drop in on the Fringe thread I do. It's still a good show, though it's been derailed somewhat this season.
