FEAR ITSELF: UNCANNY X-MEN
Marvel Comics has announced that Uncanny X-Men #540-541 -- by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Greg Land -- will tie into Fear Itself.
In the story, The Serpent has chosen one of the Juggernaut as one of his Worthy and he's ready to settle some unfinished business.
"After the tight, claustrophobic Breaking Point, I wanted something that embraced the epic scale inherent in the modern/mythological world war of Fear Itself," Gillen said. "It's a disaster movie where the natural threat is the supernatural powerhouse.
"The whole story's built like a bomb, with each step of the Serpent's Worthy is like another tick on the clock. 'What can stop the Worthy?' is the question, and as the answer starts to become apparent, that's when the terror starts to bite. A city, waiting to be hit, with nothing they can do to stop it."
Uncanny X-Men will double-ship in July.
SMALLVILLE: "DOMINION"
The CW has released a description from "Dominion," the Friday, April 29 episode of Smallville.
Here's how the episode is described:
"Tess (Cassidy Freeman) learns that General Slade was found unconscious on a street corner, proof that someone has gained access to the Phantom Zone's escape portal and sent him back. Clark (Tom Welling) decides to return to the exiled land to make sure other phantoms are not fleeing and is furious when Oliver (Justin Hartley) tricks Clark into taking him along. With Clark's powers gone, the two are immediately captured by the Zoners who take them to their new leader, Zod (Callum Blue), who is thirsting for revenge on Clark for banishing him to this Kryptonian jail. Meanwhile, Lois (Erica Durance) learns Clark trusted Tess with a secret, but didn't tell Lois."
Justin Hartley directed the episode, written by John Chisholm.
