it's as simple as the title says...Every week I'm continually impressed with just how great Smallville Season 11 is and I repeatedly state it in other threads but I feel like I need to get this out there even more....Smallville Season 11 is easily the best Superman book on the "shelves" these days...this book is the way that Superman should be written all the time and it's not just a great Superman book...it's a great JLA book...heavily featuring Batman, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, and currently Bart Allen as Impulse...so far we've seen White Martians, the Black Racer, Jay Garrick, and a ton of other characters that simply couldn't have been done on the Smallville tv show...if you're like me and you're a big Superman fan who has been kind of upset with the way the New 52 Superman titles have been then you owe yourself the service of checking out the book...the nice thing is that if you want your weekly fix then you can check out the weekly digital releases or if you're not as impatient as I am then you can check out the monthly collected editions...either way you're in store for a great book

I completely agree. I just can't wait till a Wonder woman appearance.

I'm not really interested in smallville anymore mainly due to last season being an utter disappointment to me

@Z3RO180: you should check it out....image Smallville with good writing and good special effects

@danhimself:i think i might but not right away right now ive got way too much on my pull list .

It's definitely a lot better than I was expecting when it was announced.

@danhimself: I have to disagree with you. Though it's true the comic can do a lot more with the story than Smallville ever could, it's just not written as well as what Morrison has in Action Comics. There's a dash of the GA attitude with a lot more emotion in Superman's character as well as Morrison's usual flair of story telling. That IMO is the best Superman title. Of course there's a chance Snyder and Lee can surpass it but for now, despite its critics, I feel Action Comics is the best Superman title.

I think Superman has been the best title since Lobdell joined. Action Comics feels disjointed to me at the moment.

Hated the TV series with a passion. But yes, Smallville "season 11" is awesome.

But I still won't say it's the "best" title as of now. Superman and Action Comics still are better IMO. I mean c'mon. The current arcs are such page turners! H'El and Superdoom!

I've been reading Action Comics but I just can't seem to like it as much as everyone else...to me it seems...I don't know what word I'm looking for here...mixed up? I guess that will work

I have enjoyed Lobdell's run on Superman more than any of the writers before him but it wasn't that big of a hurdle anyway

for me the Superman in Season 11 feels more like PreFlashpoint Superman and that's probably one of the reasons why I like it so much

the New 52 Superman no matter who is writing him just doesn't feel right to me

@danhimself: I feel that way about almost everycharacter.

now they've introduced Miss Martian.... I don't see how this book could possibly get any better

It should have continued as a show

they could never do what they're doing in the book on the show....so far they've introduced Hank Henshaw, Batman and Nightwing, Jay Garrick, Black Flash, Ms. Martian, and now what appears to be either just a Monitor or the Anti-Monitor....there's no way the show could have pulled all of this off

How do think they would do Wonder Woman on the Show? They wont date each other because Clark is engaged to Lois. What would the story be? Who would be her romantic interest? Would it be Batman or someone else?

Would I be able to jump right into it?

agreed....I'm pretty sure that they're getting ready for the "season finale" and that includes things that have been being hinted at since the beginning of the series....I'd say that you should either get the trade or get the printed issues

I honestly think that I look forward to it each week more than any other book that I'm reading

from Wondercon:

Onto Smallville. “When we left Kara in the TV series, she went into the future to get out of Clark’s way,” Miller says. “A Booster Gold mishap lands Clark and Booster in the 31st century,” where they’ll encounter the Legion of Super-Heroes, Supergirl and tell a version of the “World of New Krypton” story. Miller makes it clear that Supergirl will be wearing pants, “Because she flies around.”

@ltbrd: dude you did a much better job explaining why it's better than I did lol

I agree with everything you said

I'm really excited to see what happens with the Monitors and the Crisis...I'm also wondering if this is their "season finale" and if the book will become Season 12

I imagine that Darkseid will be back at some point if the book lasts long enough....I'd like to see their version of Wonder Woman, Conner come back, they hinted at him meeting another Flash at some point with Impulse saying that he hadn't met his helpers yet, also want their version of the Justice League to reform...maybe for Bart's "funeral"

@danhimself: Do you recommed that i watch the series then the comics ?

@consolemaster001: it's a long series and not all of it is really important....I'd go for the episodes with members of their Justice League in them like Impulse, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Green Arrow...then the Legion of Superheroes episodes and the last season...there's also a few episodes that have Earth 2 in them which may be a bit important....anything else you can probably get from wikis...heck you could probably learn all you need from wikis

The great thing about Season 11 is that they don't have an actor budget or a special effects budget. The battles can look as unrealistic as they want now like Impulse and Superman vs. Black Flash.

It is literally the ONLY DC comic I'm reading now and that's just because I'm a Smallville fan.
