Smallville to Waste More Fans' Time with Comic-Book Series
Thu, February 9, 2012 
Let me get this straight.
Smallville wasted a decade of everyone's time. When a new season came on the horizon, the showrunners always promised Tom Welling would eventually wear the red-and-blue suit we all identity Superman as. Well, they never delivered said promise. Unless you count Welling sporting a tee-shirt in the closing shirt rip shot, extreme close-ups of his face, as to show he never wore a real suit, and utilizing left-over effect shots of Brandon Routh from Superman Returns.
After infuriating fans, what is their solution to win them back? Besides leaving Smallville alone, obviously, and just move on. Why do a comic series chronicling an "11th season," of course! That's pretty nervy of them. Their big "hook" is official comic art of Welling finally walking around as Superman, suit, cape and all (and notice no red trunks, following the new designs from The New 52 line and Henry Cavill's Supes outfit in The Man of Steel!)
The fact that after all that build-up the best fans will ever see Welling as Superman is a comic-book is an insult to their dedication and loyalty to that damn show. If I were them, I'd be pissed and vehemently reject this crap.

Indeed. I bet the first issue will see good sales/downloads. I'll probably check the first one out, due to sheer curiosity, but we'll see.
All the other good stories and heroes they could be using these pages for will go towards this bull crap. What a waste.
