‘Smallville’ Season 11 Might Be Coming… To Your Bookstore?

Posted Monday, December 5th, 2011 08:00 pm GMT -4 by 0

When we last saw Clark Kent on ‘Smallville,’ he was ripping open his shirt to reveal the Superman S. It was the only way it could have (and always should have) ended. But, Bryan Q. Milller, story editor and writer on the CW series, says that ‘Smallville’ might have more stories in it yet.

Miller has picked up the idea of continuing ‘Smallville’ in novel form. The proposed novel would, in essence, be a sort of season 11. It wouldn’t be the first time that a series has made the jump from the screen to continue in book form. Many of the characters of ‘Star Trek’ have had novels that continued their stories. And don’t forget ‘Star Wars’ has the entire ‘extended universe’ of novels. There’s no official announcement from either CW or DC Comics, so Miller’s idea could switch tracks and end up being totally different altogether.

Recently, writer Joss Whedon has continued two of his beloved series (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Firefly’) by creating new stories in comic books. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Miller’s ‘Smallville’ season 11 ends up back in the format from which its lead character originated.

The real question begging to be asked is: Will it still be ‘Smallville’ if the characters have left the namesake town? Wouldn’t it just be Superman? And, especially if it ends up in comics, what would differentiate ‘Smallville’ from the ‘Superman’ and ‘Action Comics’ titles already published by DC Comics?

As a fan of ‘Smallville’, I’d like to see a continuation that follows the mythology of the show, which was different from that in the original Superman comics or that of the rebooted New 52 Superman titles. What do you think? Would you like to see what happened after the Clark Kent of ‘Smallville’ finally became Superman? If so, would you rather read it as a comic or a prose novel? Comment below and let us know.

    i would like it to be in a novel so the characters will have more depth to them.

      I own a few novels of the series that takes place during the early seasons, which are unfortunately not canon. I think it really depends on the writer as to whether he can do the characters justice, and it’s not a fait accompli that the characters will have more depth. The ones I read were not very good in terms of getting the character’s personality right.

      Also, they tend to drag out the scenes and reduce the tension. One scene that I remember details a scenario where Lex had to switch laptops because his previous one was contaminated by opening an email… in a paragraph that took up one third of a page.

        If its Bryan Q Miller writing I wouldn’t worry about his characters personalities being off.  He’s  darn good comic writer and seemed to respect his source material pretty well.

          He was a writer on Smallville, aside from his great work on Batgirl.

            I thought he might have been… I wasn’t sure though.  I think a book series is in safe hands then.

    I agree, a novel sounds best. Besides, I own way too many comics already and barely have much room for more.

    I’ll take whatever I can get.  With Bryan Q Miller heading things up it should be good.  His Batgirl run was fantastic so that bought him my goodwill.  At the very least it gets away from the budgetary restrictions had in a TV show and should allow for some pretty cool battles.

    ill be happy to get anything as long as its Smallville.

  • Amy Kiser15

    as long as smallville cont im good with it

  • Reilly

    I’m still wishing it was a movie with the Smallville cast, but it seems evident that the owners of the “property” don’t care to give the fans what they want on this one. A novel season 11 would be interesting – it would allow us to picture the cast and characters we know from the show carrying on – including Clark actually in the suit and flying. I’d definitely buy it and read it.

  • Jppisani

    This is a great idea start off with novels for a season eleven concept which could lead back to tv. But instead of calling smallville call it metropolis since now these are tails of superman and not clark

  • Anonymous

    It should be called From SMALLVILLE to MetropoliS an keep it Superman. Or Superman MetropliS

    • Paulflay7289

      its should be call smallville rise of superman 

  • silence

    i think series will still work well, original superman was written in 1940s and still we are addicted to it.There are many topics there yet to be touched.They can improve lois and clark relationship,they can put lana and her soul-mate to end that part of the story, they can add new villians with better, more powerfull  than superman , etc..we have seen how a hero born so far.In all the best selling science fiction novels this only first book..We would be delighted to see our Superman in season 11

  • Smallville_fan1989

    smallville was my absolute favourite show on tv it would be great to see a continued story of the smallville series even if it isnt titled the same at least have the story keep going on tv rather then some comic version of it, it would just be silly and wouldnt be the same, im sure every smallville fan can aprreciate the actors from the show tom welling aka clark kent/superman, erica durance aka lois lane, allison mack aka chloe sullivan, micheal rosenbaum aka lex luthor and of course justin hartley, green arrow/oliver queen he was a wicked green arrow i think all these guys were perfect for theyre roles and it would be great to see them all appear again for more stories from the smallville story of clark kent to superman. it would be so awesome to continue the story of superman/smallville on tv. i hope they will.

    I think they should make a new series with all of the same basic cast starting up the justice league.  Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
