The CW has released a clip from the new episode of Smallville, “Turbulence”. In the clip, Davis comes face to face with Jimmy Olsen, who is trying to beat the truth out of the man who becomes Doomsday. I’m not sure how I feel about this Doomsday arc overall, but it is getting interesting.

What do you think? Is the season going to end with a smack down between Clark and Doomsday? Or will that be this version of Superman’s first fight as Superman. I can’t image them doing another season without Clark donning the tights. This episode airs on Thursday at 8pm.

Tonight at 8pm on the CW Network is Kristin Kreuk’s last Smallville. In the episode, Clark and the newly super-powered Lana face off with not only Lex Luthor, but also Winslow Schott, aka the Toyman!

Okay, the current “New Krypton” story not only grabbed and held my attention, but it surged Superman’s comics with an energy that I haven’t seen in ages. Well, here we go, Action Comics #873 is the finale to the arch, and is written by Geoff Johns, with art by Pete Woods.

DC Comics Official Description: “The “New Krypton”finale and a “Faces of Evil”issue! The rapidly rising tensions between the people of Kandor and Earth can only lead to expulsion or war! But even as the governments of Earth begin passing anti-Kryptonian laws, Superman’s people have plans of their own – beyond anything you can imagine! Writer Geoff Johns and artist Pete Woods wrap up this cosmically important chapter in Superman’s life by introducing a major change to The Man of Steel’s status quo!”

The issue is on sale on Wednesday, January 14, 2009.

Last month, Superman #682 caught my attention and this month they’ve been able to keep. Superman #683 features part 9 of the current “New Krypton” storyline. It is written by James Robinson and Geoff Johns with art from Renato Guedes and Wilson Magalhaes, and an awesome cover by the legendary Alex Ross.

DC Comics’ official description: “Violence breaks out on Earth as the Kryptonians, enraged by humanity’s treatment of them and their newly passed anti-Kryptonian laws, strike back! Imagine 100,000 people, each with the powers of Superman but lacking his humanity — and they’re angry!”

The issue hits stands on January 2nd, 2009. Click on the pictures below to enlarge:

Tomorrow, Superman #682 hits stands and features part 6 of “New Krypton”. This part is written by James Robinson with art by Renato Guedes an Wilson Magalhaes and an awesome cover by Alex Ross.

DC’s Official Description: Following closely on the stirring events of Supergirl #35, “New Krypton” part 6 sees the unrest between the Kryptonians and humankind rapidly spin out of control. Superman knows it’s only a matter of time before widespread violence breaks out between the two cultures. But deep in the heart of the U.S. military, a deadly new Squad K is being organized. Its mission: clean up the “Kryptonian problem” before it gets out of hand!

It’s November Sweeps! That means we should expect big guest stars, surprise returns, and huge events over the next month of TV!  And Smallville is no exception.

On tonight’s episode we get the Phantom Zone, the return of Laura Vandervoort as Kara (aka Supergirl), and a superpowered Lois Lane rampaging through Metropolis. The one thing I don’t think we’ll see is Smallville (hey, I’d be all for renaming the series Metropolis!).
