I'm just spit balling here but I think it may involve an alien...

After some deep thought, I came to that conclusion...

They don't know. In Guardian, Clark said he was planning to reveal his origins, but Lois told him not to rush it and wait for the right moment.

Later, Clark states to Lois that he'd like to finally tell the world that Superman is an alien, but she goes against the idea because there is concern brought on by the pictures of the aliens on Apokolips, and therefore it might not be the best time, especially with Lex Luthor making such noise about it in public. And of course, in that issue, Lex was talking to General Lane over Earth's defense against another alien threat, thus the need for his Guardian orbital weapons platform. When Lane mentions the fear that weapons in space could easily be turned on the planet, Lex counters that with a question of how Superman can be viewed as any less dangerous and what is the world to do if he decides to turn his back on it or prove a threat. So yeah, they don't. But it seems to have been setting up the reveal since the first episode, and because you have the in-development JLA in the background with Martian Manhunter, it would make sense that the revelation would have to be addressed before the JLA is fully established. |

Digital-first DC Comics series "Smallville Season 11" undergoes a change later this fall, as reported by TV Guide. Following the end of the current "Olympus" arc, the ongoing title continuing the TV show's adventures will be replaced by a series of miniseries, starting in November with "Smallville: Alien."
That arc kicks off with a Monitor landing in Russia. Speaking to TV Guide, series writer Bryan Q. Miller alluded to landmark DC story "Crisis on Infinite Earths" when discussing the role of the Monitors. "'Alien' will give us much more insight into the over-arching threat," Miller said. "It turns into a race between Superman and Lex Luthor to get to this Monitor first and find what the crisis is." The format change, according to Miller, is partly designed to make the series more accessible to new and casual readers attracted by the comic through the "Smallville" TV series, which depicted the life of young Clark Kent and ran for 10 seasons from 2001 to 2011. "Not that we don't already do that to an extent, but [now] the first 20-30 pages of each arc will be more about setting up the status quo for the miniseries, rather than jumping right into things," Miller said. "It's a way to help welcome more people into the Smallville universe that we've been expanding on since the television series ended." "Alien" will also feature the "Smallville" debut of Russian superhero team the Rocket Red Brigade. The Miller-written "Smallville Special" interludes are planned to continue following the format change. Source: CBR |

That is a perfect cover. Really captures Tom and Michael's look. Can't wait to see what happens here.

Basically they are only dropping the "Season 11" name. In stead of Alien being "Smallville Season 11: Alien" It would just be "Smallville: Alien". But it's still in the same continuity and pretty much still part of S11, just not called that way. They did it on order to not confuse new readers with numbers and gaps between them(when the numbers change when side stories come out and main stories resume, etc) The digital schedule remains the same.

What I am wondering is if this book takes place directly after the finale or in between chapter's or stories like the other minis do. Also what I would like to see is Smallville move away from the team-ups and give us some solo Superman stories. I get that the DC world is now open to them but I want to see him work alone than team-up.

Well Guardian was a solo Superman story. Seems like Alien for the most part will be too.

I get Guardian takes place six months after but I want to see something that shows what happened the day after the show went off. I want to see what the worlds reaction to him was and how he greeted the public and what his first big issue was after revealing himself. Also Guardian still had GA so I don't look at it to much as a solo book. I want something where it is just Clark and Lois and Lex and Superman no Tess and the rest of the bunch. I also would love to see Superman/Clark meet up with or visit Lana again now that she has lost the suit. I would love to see them talk.

For all intents and purposes it's still part of S11 since it follows the same continuity, just not named that way.

![]() ![]() "When Superman revealed himself to the world, he knew some repercussions would be out of his control. He never expected this, though! Meanwhile, Lex Luthor’s trip to Russia brings him face to face with a Monitor—and his own mortality." January 8, 2014 looks like Batman & Nightwing return
