MUMBAI: US broadcasters The CW Network, Warner Bros Television Group and Stride Gum are teaming up to offer fans the opportunity to create their own Smallville adventure in the form of a new digital comic book.

The comic book will be based on the show of the same name. In India, Smallville airs on Star World.

 

The writers and producers of Smallville have developed the beginning and the end of an all-new comic book adventure and will leave it to fans to determine the direction of all of the action in between.

This online promotion is running in conjunction with that night’s episode of the show. Both the episode and the comic book storyline revolve around the return of Pete Ross (played in the series by original Smallville cast member Sam Jones III), who has garnered elastic super powers after chewing special, kryptonite-infused Stride Gum.

Fans can go to cwtv.com and read the opening pages of this new comic book adventure. They will then be presented with two options (four pages each) which take the comic book in two different directions, and they can vote on the direction in which they want the story to go.

Every following Tuesday and Thursday on cwtv.com, viewers can find two new sets of comic book pages and vote on which way they want the story to progress. The promotion runs through 7 April, and each scene developed will become part of a digital comic book produced by DC Comics.

 
Each vote enters fans into a sweepstakes for the opportunity to win a grand prize of a VIP weekend at a comic book convention in the US plus a year’s supply of Stride gum. Additionally, 50 fans will each win the complete season six DVD set of the show and 12 packs of Stride Gum.
