SMALLVILLE ROUNDUP
The CW has released a gallery of images from "Conspiracy," Friday's new episode of Smallville.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Bernard Chisholm (guest star JR Bourne), a doctor who died and was brought back to life by the Kandorians so they can experiment on him, escapes and kidnaps some Kandorians in order to prove aliens have invaded Earth. Bernard tries to get Lois (Erica Durance) to write a story validating his claim, but when Lois refuses, he kidnaps her too.
"In an effort to save his people, Zod (Callum Blue) poses as a reporter from the Daily Planet and uncovers Bernard's secret lab. Clark (Tom Welling) arrives at the lab just in time to see Zod get shot."

DYNAMITE TEAMS WITH CHARLAINE HARRIS
Dynamite Entertainment has announced it is working with Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series and the basis for HBO's True Blood series.
The first book of Harris' Harper Connelly series, Grave Sight, will be adapted by Dynamite Entertainment in 2010.
Here's how Dynamite describes the project:
"For the past five years, readers have been thrilled by the Harper Connelly series. Featuring Harper Connelly, a woman who has what you might call a strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final location of a person who's passed, and share their very last moment. The way Harper sees it, she's providing a service to the dead while bringing some closure to the living-but she's used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech. Traveling with her step-brother Tolliver as manager and sometime-bodyguard, she's become an expert at getting in, getting paid, and getting out fast. Because for the living it's always urgent-even if the dead can wait forever."
"I'm thrilled to join such great writers," Harris said. "I'm excited about seeing a different vision of my novels, and I've seen enough of the Dynamite Entertainment to know this will be an interesting and entertaining process."
MARVEL COMICS ROUNDUP
Marvel Comics has announced Sean Phillips as penciller of Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, which launches in May.

"Sean is a wonderful artist, so I can't wait to see his depictions of Mid-World," Furth said. "We will all miss Jae (Lee), but we're really lucky to have Sean. Peter and Richard will continue their amazing work, so I think Roland is ready to saddle up and move forward to the Mohaine Desert."
