Wouldn't seem right to go through Superman Week without touching on his most recent and acclaimed TV version. Here's my review of the a Smallville comic from a few years back...

Review: DC comics and the WB network begin a multimedia assault with a story that picks up a thread from a season one episode of Smallville, continues on the show’s website and will wrap up two months from now in the next issue of the comic book. If you’re going to do a story like that, this is the way to do it - “Chronicle” is a story that has a fairly satisfying ending to it, even if you don’t decide to log on to the website and check out how it continues, but the option to keep reading is there if you want it.
You can read the rest of the review at the Back Issue Bin.
I've also got two more Comixtreme reviews for you today...
