Still no word on cost?

Well, if they're going with the Justice League Beyond model, the digital installments will probably be a buck. Not too sure about the print book, though--the Beyond book that packages both JLB and Batman Beyond is going to be 3.99, but that's because it's basically two books in one, so in that instance, it's probably not the purest comparison.

It's a fair enough comparison, though, because it's the same quantity, right?

You get two JL Beyond and two Batman Beyond chapters, which makes four chapters total.

Smallville's weekly.

It'll prob be bout 3.99 for the print edition. I'm pretty excited bout Season 11. I still have yet to see all of Season 10. But I enjoyed Seasons 1-9 of Smallville.

Plus it's more Green Arrow action. Smallville's Green Arrow was one of the best parts of the show in the later years (6-10). Maybe we'll get to see Mia once again as well.

I had my problems with Smallville so I'm surprised at how much I'm looking forward to this book. I'm going to buy it digitally, a first for me.

I wasn't a fan of the changes made to Superman in the reboot so this gives me a place to go. It'll be nice to see Martha Kent alive and Clark & Lois together.

I'd love it if they restored Lex's memories and I'm hoping they do.

Posted my response about this before but; this is just pure awesome! Loved Smallville and from what we know it sounds great. Any guesses on the other character he meets in the second arc? I'm going with Batman or Wonder Woman.

After what happened to Green Arrow and Superman reboot, it's good to get versions of them back I like.

In the grand old tradition of Smallville I'll get the ball rolling. When is Chloe going to die already?

I have been asking myself that very same question since the season three's finale. Quite a treat for me to have a continuation of this continuity in comic book form since this was my gateway into the mythos. Ironic that this year I started watching the series from the very beginning.

Yeah, I tried both of the current Superman series and didn't like either. Maybe Superman will improve with the new creative team, but it doesn't really matter to me. The Smallville version of Clark is the one I'm most familiar with, so it's the one I'm most interested in reading about, anyway.

I'd love it if they restored Lex's memories and I'm hoping they do.

I hope they do as well. If they do, I think they'll leave out the memories of Clark having powers and all that, or they'll at least leave it a mystery as to whether or not he remembers those details. I'd hate to see all that character development from the show go down the drain because his memories are gone, despite still having his instincts or whatever.

[mos2006]

Exactly. I tried reading Green Arrow and Superman. And just wasn't all that interested in 'em. Mostly cause I'm most familiar with the Smallville versions of the characters.

And I'm guessing we'll be seeing Smallville versions of Batman and Wonder Woman now too. which will be all kinds of awesome really. since we're finally going to be getting things that we've wanted on the show but couldn't cause of the legalities of the characters being tied up and keeping 'em off the screen.

also looking forward to maybe more Smallville JL adventures. be pretty cool to see them pop up once again as well.

Shouldn't this digital comic be retitled "Metropolis"?

[Flinkman]

I'm guessing we'll be seeing Smallville versions of Batman and Wonder Woman now too.

I was just coming here to post that! Here's hoping they reinvent them in that famous Smallville fashion, it was always fun to see how they made other DC characters work within the confines of the show.
