COMIC-CON: SMALLVILLE
Tom Welling couldn't make it because of shooting schedules, but a large representation from Smallville flew in to San Diego on Sunday for a preview of Season 8 of The CW's Smallville at Comic-Con International.
A panel was moderated by one-time Smallville staffer Jeph Loeb. It featured actors Allison Mack, Justin Hartley, Sam Witwer and Cassidy Freeman and new showrunners Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson.
Perhaps the biggest piece of news is that Geoff Johns, writer of Action Comics and several other DC Comics projects, is writing an episode of Smallville that involves the Legion of Super-Heroes. Mack also noted that she will be directed an episode for the first time.
