Creators to Leave Smallville

Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, creators and executive producers of Smallville, have announced they will be leaving the series at the end of this current season. With that shocking and somewhat sad news, it leaves me pondering what (if any?) direction the show will take. With that said I used to watch Smallville every time it came on, but as the seasons came and went the show just became harder and harder for me to like. Sure it has a perfect cast, but after Jonathon Kent’s death, the stories took a darker turn and for me it just wasn’t as fun as it used to be. That and I’ve missed about two seasons worth of storylines now.

In terms of storyline and plot I think I liked the light-hearted tone and the creepy factor in the first and second seasons the best where no one knew Clark’s secrets and practically everyone in Smallville as part of the freak fest after the meteor shower hit. I’m not saying that I dislike the show, because it is far better than most common fare on television today, all I’m saying is that it now lacks some of the magic and energy it had in the first three seasons. So now that Millar and Gough are departing, my bet is most of the original cast (who should almost be finished with their contract now) will part ways with the series as well. So will there be Smallville season eight? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. So until the end of the this season if you’re bored with television and want to check out what Superman is doing on the pages of the actual comic I recommend you check out All-Star Superman, as it is better than I’ve seen Superman done in the past three years.

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
