NotesEdit

Smallville: Season 11 was released as both a digital and print comic book.
The new digital first series was first released on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter. Additionally, the online chapters will be offered in a print periodical, along with an episode guide to the series, the first print issue was released on May 2.^[2]
The first 12 weeks are the "season premiere". It has a one-word title, Guardian. As always, they will all have one-word titles. ^[3]
Season 11 will feature the cast of characters moving into the next phases of their lives: "Work, love, heroics and villainy all play a part in how they're settling into a very 'Look! Up in the sky!' world."^[4]
Miller describes each Season 11 "episode" (or arc) as "bigger" than the show. He likens each to a "mega-episode" or a TV movie that continues the Smallville saga.^[4]
Clark will be more comfortable in his skin, still much like his television counterpart but with a dash of "Reeve-Supes Zen". He gets to shake hands with those he saves, enjoys flying, and sees his abilities more as a job now that he really likes.^[4]
The changes to the Superman costume - from the traditional/Superman Returns-inspired look in Finale, Part 2 to a look similar to the "New 52" style featured in the current DC Comics Superman titles - will be explained during the second chapter of the first arc, Guardian.^[4]
