10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Smallville

5. The Comic Book Continuation

Smallville Season 11
DC Comics

Total die-hard Smallville fans will likely be aware that the series continued on in comic book form when Season Ten of the show came to a close in 2011, but the more casual Smallville fans amongst you may be a little surprised to hear that the adventures of this incarnation of the Big Blue Boy Scout carried on away from the TV screen.

There had already been Smallville comics and novels during the show's ten-season run, but April 13, 2012 saw a straight-up follow-on comic released. Dubbed Smallville Season 11, Smallville story editor Bryan Q. Miller penned a tale that picked things up six months after the events of Smallville's final episode.

That comic would go on to run for a couple of years, and it gave fans the chance to see Clark Kent fully in his Superman guise as the hero we'd spent a decade watching Clark become. And not just was this Tom Welling-inspired Superman joined by familiar faces from Smallville, but Season 11 also brought the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and so many other DC heroes and villains into the world of Smallville.
