Volume 26

This is volume 26 in the 03 series. Based on the available clues, the series is a collection of Western comics centered on the Superman theme; its content draws on DC Comics tie-in works related to Smallville, including the Smallville Season 11 comics, which continue the story after the TV series finale, as well as stories about Superman's early years. It should be noted that, because formal publication information for this volume is unavailable, it is not yet possible to confirm exactly which story arcs are collected in this volume or which original issue numbers they correspond to. From the known background, Smallville Season 11 was written by series head writer Bryan Q. Miller and began serialization at DC Comics in 2012, telling the story of Clark Kent after he formally appears as Superman: he publicly saves people as a hero for the first time, gradually proves himself to the public, faces the return of Lex Luthor, and crosses paths with other DC heroes in events such as those involving the Green Lantern Corps. This volume may include some content from the above storyline, but the chapter attributions and plot details should be based on the actual table of contents in the physical book. Before reading this volume, it is recommended that you first familiarize yourself with the arrangement order of the previous volumes in the series so that the clues connect properly.
