COMING TUESDAY

April solicitations -- and much more!

SMALLVILLE: "FRACTURE"

The CW has released a description for "Fracture," the Thursday, Feb. 14 episode of Smallville.

Here's how the network describs the episode:

"Lois (Erica Durance) follows Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) to Detroit and discovers he has found Kara (Laura Vandervoort), who has amnesia. Finley (guest star Corey Sevier), a busboy who is obsessed with Kara, fears Lex will take her away, so he shoots Lex and holds Kara and Lois captive. After Lex's comatose body is found, Chloe (Allison Mack) offers to heal him, but Clark (Tom Welling) refuses to let her."

"Fracture" was written by Caroline Dries and directed by James Marshall.

* Rob Levin is writing Top Cow Productions' The Darkness: Butcher, a one-shot in March featuring the supporting character from The Darkness comic and video game.

"Butcher is a character I find endlessly fascinating," Levin said. "Not only is he a guy who chooses to clean up crime scenes for a living, but he's also an underworld confidante. There's a lot of story to be mined there, and this is really only the tip of the iceberg."

Michael Broussard provides art and cover, his first work on The Darkness before the new series.

* Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada will appear on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report on Tuesday. The show starts at 11:30 p.m.
