Several of Joss Whedon\u2019s franchises including Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse have all seen the comic treatment continue their stories and grow their fan bases. DC Comics is now getting in on the game. In April, DC will launch a new Smallville comic that will pick up right where the series left off. Clark is now in the suit and he is officially Superman. Smallville writer, Bryan Q. Miller will be writing the comic series.<\/p>\n<p>DC released a statement with some information about the comic:<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the smash-hit TV series Smallville haven\u2019t had much to cheer about since the show ended its critically acclaimed 10-year run on The CW last May. \u00a0That\u2019s all going to change with the upcoming new comic book series from DC Entertainment: SMALLVILLE SEASON 11. \u00a0Written by former Smallville show scribe Bryan Q. Miller, the new digital first series will be published digitally on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter. \u00a0Additionally, 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.<\/p>\n<p>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. \u00a0The book features an all-star creative team \u2013 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).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix months after Clark Kent donned the cape and took to the skies to save Earth from Apokolips\u2026 enter Season 11!\u201d enthuses Miller. \u00a0\u201cNew allies abound! \u00a0New enemies afoot! \u00a0And old friends return where they\u2019re least expected! \u00a0Pere 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\u2019t be more excited to help give seasoned viewers and new readers an all-access pass to Clark\u2019s first year in the cape.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV series ending and continuing on in comic book form is nothing new.
