Conclusion: a powerful second part of these two chapters that reveals the damage, as well as the status of our characters. It's going to be incredibly interesting to see what will happen in the show's second season, once we reach the fall.

Issue #51 was overall a fantastic chapter that continues the extended interactions that we as fans always enjoy to see between Clark and Kara in its new setting while exploring the 31st century and continuing to build up towards things to come.

Issue #52 ended with an intriguing cliffhanger that will definitely lead into a very big final issue of “Argo.” Looking at the previous endings of the first three main chapters, as well as “Effigy” and “Valkyrie,” fans of Smallville Season 11 myself included should be prepared for a possibly gigantic ending.

Titans is overall going strong as we got a huge and unexpected cliffhanger that will be interesting to see how that gets resolved.

So far there hasn't been much to complain about: Miller is really fleshing out these younger heroes and Staggs is once again getting to do the artwork for a whole story and not just the digital covers. There is only thing which has been brought up before which is the length of these side-stories: obviously because it's a “side-story”, it's supposed to be shorter than the main stories are so this comment may be unnecessary if you look at it as a whole. There is just so much that needs to be explained before the last issue comes out and because of what the antagonist of this story revealed about certain characters, the fate of some of the DC characters in the Smallville universe is now a big mystery. Issue 3 was overall another great chapter that is now entering its conclusion and it will be interesting to see how Miller will wrap it up.

Titans had a nice conclusion and it definitely hinted that we may see these characters sooner rather than later because of how it ended and what is currently taking place in Alien. Without going into spoilers, it wouldn't be a surprise if perhaps one or two of these characters actually pop up at some point during Alien. Despite that one wished that stories like Titans could perhaps be a bit longer, this was one of Miller's best works so far and hopefully this element is something that will continue to expand throughout the Smallville continuity.
