Based
on the hit television series, Smallville explores the
teenage years of Superman's live as a young Clark Kent attempts
to simultaneously cope with the mystery of his emerging powers
and the daily travails of adolescence...
This
graphic novel collects together eight stories from the pages
of the Smallville comic series. These short stories
all have their own merits, and each is exceptionally well
written and illustrated - although the very short story
Vows
excels on both counts.
The
story which seems to fit most comfortably under the Smallville
umbrella, the one that could easily be transferred into a
TV episode, is Chimera. This sees Lex on the run after
an old and dear friend is murdered, leaving Lex as the likely
suspect. Lex knows he is being framed, but by who and why?
The execution of this story is handled well, as is the twist
that concludes it.
But
the other stories each have their own merits. But, What
I did on my Summer Vacation is the weakest story to be
included. This sees Chloe travelling to Metropolis to undertake
a summer internship at the Daily Planet.
Then
there are the strips that reflect the monster of the week
episodes of the TV series. Raptor, Paterfamilias
and Beauty all slot into this category.
There
are also a few background features on the TV show as well
as a cover gallery.
Fans
of the TV series will certainly feel right at home with this
collection - the likenesses of the cast are also pretty accurate,
for the most part. Certainly worth taking a look at.
