Smallville cast, Samm Levine, Jewel Staite and Sean Maher at the Wizard World Comic Con

I love both of these pictures from the Wizard World Comic Con which is held this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. The first picture features some of the Smallville cast with actor and Smallville panel host Samm Levine. The second picture has former Firefly co-stars, actors Jewel Staite and Sean Maher posing with familiar horror movie villains.

From L to R: Laura Vandervoort, Erica Durance, Samm Levine, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum

This is an amazing photo of the cast, everyone looks really good. Everyone has a nice casual look, I love Laura's green floral mini dress and Erica's brown leather bomber.

Comic Book News #18: Erica Durance Returning for the CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Crossover + The Schedule

I can't believe I forgot to post the big news that Erica Durance will be reprising her role as Lois Lane from Smallville for the upcoming CW Arrowverse crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths. Durance has already appeared on Supergirl as Kara Danvers mother Alura Zor-EL. She took over the role which was previously played by Laura Benanti.

As a Lois and Clark and Smallville fan, it's amazing news that both Erica Durance and Tom Welling will both appear in this highly anticipated crossover. The schedule for the five part crossover is:

Supergirl: Sunday, December 8th at 8 PM
Batwoman: Monday, December 9th at 8 PM
The Flash: Tuesday, December 10th at 8 PM
Arrow: Tuesday, January 14th at 8 PM
DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Tuesday, January 14th at 9 PM

Please note that there is a over month long break before the final episodes of the crossover even air.

Lois Lane Friday: Book News and My Favorite Live-Action Version

There just isn't enough of Lois Lane in the world so I thought why not have Lois Lane Friday. A column where I can post interesting things about Lois Lane from the funny to the thought provoking.

First, for the book news, there will be a sequel to the popular Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond. The next book which according to the author's website is currently in the editing process and will be titled Lois Lane: Double Down. It's scheduled to be released Spring 2016. Now that's something to look forward to especially with the way DC Comics is currently dragging the character threw the mud.

Now for the second part of my post, I wanted to focus on my favorite live-action versions of the character which were played by: Phyllis Coates, Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance. They each brought something different to the role and seemed to make it their own.

I didn't include either Lois from Superman Returns (Kate Bosworth) and Man of Steel (Amy Adams) because they were Lois in name only. They were empty shells and rather forgettable.

There's more to Lois than being a great reporter and being feisty, she's smart, highly opinionated, courageous and willing to take risk and she's always looking out for others. She's loyal, driven, hardworking, passionate not only about her career but also her love life (i.e. Clark Kent) and most importantly she's not afraid to be herself.

Although, Lois has undergone many changes over her long history, however the key things never really change.
