This week’s column begins not with a bang but with a whimper – my apology for failing to do last week’s column. Those of you looking for your “Superman on TV” fix turned to the Superman Homepage last weekend and found . . . nothing. Columns don’t just disappear, what do you think happened to it? It could be any number of a million reasons. My dog ate it, I had the BP oil-covered bird flu, I had surgery on my cataracts. I mean, look at the columns around us. Is it really that hard to believe?
Ya I guess it is that hard. The excuse, such as it is, is I spent most of last weekend posting updates from Comic-Con from our crack reporters Jeffrey Bridges and Ivan Jaime. In particular, Jeffrey covered “Superman: The Man of Tomorrow” panel and Ivan covered the “Smallville” panel. They both did top-notch work as usual – thanks guys.
And speaking of “Smallville”, who isn’t speaking of “Smallville” following their season 10 video preview, panel, and post-panel interviews? We now know a lot we didn’t before San Diego. Spoiler Alert, spoiler alert.
