 Two
Of This Week's DC Comics Feature Smallville Tie-Ins
Two
comic book releases that came out this past Wednesday featured
ties to Smallville.
Supergirl
#2, written by Jeph Loeb ("Red," "Insurgence"),
features some mentions of some elements that will surely make
you think of the show. Be warned of spoilers below.
In the
comic's last page, Lex Luthor is collecting various colors
and kinds of Kryptonite and wearing them in his gauntlet,
which is almost reminiscent of Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet
with the Infinity Gems back in 1990. Lex is communicating
with the Calculator and reporting to him what the various
kinds of Kryptonite do.
Green
Kryptonite is said to be "deadly to Kryptonians"....
and Lex comments that "now, thanks to the recent meteor
shower, [it] is actually in greater abundance."
Red Kryptonite
"apparently causes erratic and unpredictable behavior."
Apparently Lex saw the episode "Red" and liked what
he had seen.
Blue Kryptonite
"is effective when dealing with Bizarro."
And that
leaves things with... Black Kryptonite. The Calculator asks
what happens when a Kryptonian is exposed to it, and Lex just
grins. To Be Continued...
While we
don't normally condone the spoiling of big comic book surprises,
we're just relaying this information so you know to pick this
issue up immediately. Very good things are coming in Supergirl,
and it almost sounds like some more ideas and concepts from
Smallville are creeping their way into the comics.
Also
this week... the Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files features
the very first comic book story written by Chris Castallo.
Castallo was until recently the Senior VP of Development at
Tollin-Robbins Productions, and was involved with Smallville
as it was being developed.
Both
comics have ties to DC's upcoming Infinite Crisis, so
you may not want to miss them.
