It all comes down to this! Tomorrow – Sunday, July 25th at 10am PST, the Smallville cast and crew will take the stage at San Diego Comic Con to bring us our first look at season ten, answer fan questions, and share some big surprises for the final season.

We’ve got three ways you can join in on this momentous occasion, as SHoE crew members Joe, Kim, and Brian will be in attendance and in the press junket this year.

Check out after the jump how to have up to the minute information from the Smallville panel!

One: keep your browser locked in here, at www.smallvillepodcast.com for live updates as they happen.

Two: keep your eye on our Twitter as we’ll be live tweeting from the line, from the panel, and from the press room! There’s a twitter gadget to the right of this post that will show you our most recent update, as well as link you to our full feed.

Three: HOPEFULLY, we’ll be having a bit more coverage than that, but in order to be a part of that, you have to keep your browser at www.smallvillepodcast.com

We are doing everything we can to keep every Smallville fan unable to make it to San Diego, a part of this final Comic Con event for the series. Please, please, please be patient with us, be understanding, and be patient. Did I mention be patient? We can’t plan for every contingency, but we’re trying.

Stay tuned!

But this is just the start of some big changes here at SHoE. It’s going to be an all new year of fun things that will go hand in hand with the weekly podcast hosted by Steve Glosson. We’ve got some great ideas, some new guests, and a few other surprises we’ll be starting to roll out over the next month – and even more stuff in store as the year progresses. So let us know if you have anything at SHoE you’d like to see happening soon, and keep coming back for your latest in Smallville and SHoE news. Thanks!

Take a look around, you’ll see a new streamlined look here at the main site, as well as our forums, our enhanced AAC cards, and even our new t-shirts which will be available for pre-order very soon.

We’d like to thank Evan Agee of Agee Design and Graham Hancock for putting together the new site! Also, a big thank you to Stuart (Narsil) for providing the sweet fortress logo you see up at the top.

All this means we’re looking ahead to a new year, a new eighth season of “Smallville”, and beyond. Thanks for sticking with us for two years, we’re here because of you guys and we’re staying put because of you too!

a week…passed…

a hero keeps secrets to protect others…a coward…a coward only keeps secrets to protect himself….

justice can only be served against injustice…the path back is hidden…

the journey home is inevitable…

it begins, within…

see you soon….i hope.
