Nine months later DC Comics have officially announced the new ongoing series: Smallville Season 11. The series will follow Clark Kent six months after he picked up the mantle of Superman and will feature a majority of the characters from the show: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Chloe Sullivan-Queen, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and General Lane are all set to return in the new series.

Series writer and executive story editor Bryan Q. Miller is set to return to Smallville as writer on the series alongside artist Pere Perez (Batgirl, a series Miller also wrote), with covers by Gary Frank.
