Smallville to Continue in Comic Book Form

DC Entertainment announced today that the story of Smallville will continue, but in comic book form. Here's the press release with a first look at cover #1 by Cat Staggs:

Fans of the smash-hit TV series Smallville haven?t had much to cheer about since the show ended its critically acclaimed 10-year run on The CW last May. ?That?s all going to change with the upcoming new comic book series from DC Entertainment: SMALLVILLE SEASON 11. ?Written 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. ?Additionally, 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 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).

?

?Six months after Clark Kent donned the cape and took to the skies to save Earth from Apokolips? enter Season 11!? enthuses 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.?

Hmmm, I wonder if this is the beginning of a new trend....continue a series in comics after the live action version. Next thing you know, there is going to be Friends Season 11 in comic form! :wacko:

the new digital first series will be published digitally

Really?

Hmmm, I wonder if this is the beginning of a new trend.

I believe Buffy Series 8 started the mainstream trend, but continuing a storyline in comic form is nothing new - just a new way of marketing it.

And on topic: So, basically a new name for a Superman comic?

For this universe of Superman comics. There is also a reboot going on in the mainstream DC universe, bits of which are filtering into the Man of Steel film (shorts-less uniform etc)
