  Pre-New 52 Superman fans can rejoice. With Smallville, were finally getting a character that resembles, and feels almost like, an old friend whos returned after a long absence. Again, Ive never watched an episode of Smallville before, but I already love this version of the character more than the one over in Action Comics Vol. 2 and Superman. Read Full Review

  Add to that the inclusion of Tess and a promise of Kara and the Legion and I guess I will stick around for more. Perez does his usual solid work here and clearly has a grasp of the actors from the show as I can see them in the renditions. Read Full Review

  The other strong selling point is its price. The digital comic will release weekly at $.99 USD followed by a book that releases ever three weeks for $2.99 in print collecting three digital issues. But here is the kicker. At least as far as this issue is concerned, the book is $.99 for a full 22 page comic! There's a boatload of value in this one comic, and if you're a broke S.O.B. or cheap bastard (or both), you will LOVE the idea of this book for sure. You really can't argue with a full comic for such a low price. Read Full Review

  Weekly Comic Book Review - Minhquan Nguyen

  Thoroughly enjoyable as a sample of Miller's work and an homage to the show it purports to continue, but as a Superman comic, it has a ways to go to rub shoulders with the majors. In short, it needs to go beyond Smallville. Read Full Review

  So Smallville has made the transition from screen (to computer screen) to print, and I'm hoping that it doesn't go anywhere soon. Whilst the art is a pain at times, this feels like a worthy continuation to a popular television property, and one of the better "season" comics that I've read. It's familiar, yet different, and keeps readers on their toes by adding in just enough of its own material. Fans of the show will be thrilled to see their favourite characters all appearing in, what feels like, a natural progression of the series, and even those who have never seen an episode will soon be caught up in Clark Kent's continuing adventures. I will attempt to review this series in story arcs, rather than individual issues, so expect a review of the second story arc, Detective (featuring Smallville's interpretation of Batman!), in a few months time.

  Smallville fans will be pleased. I hesitate to call myself a Smallville fan, but I too am pleased. If you enjoyed the TV series, specifically in its later seasons, it's a must read. Read Full Review
