For our April contest, we have teamed with DC Comics to give away one (1) ‘DC Chronicles: Superman Statue.’
Product Description: Sculpted by Tim Bruckner. The Man of Steel is the second statue in a new series that captures the original depictions of DC Comics’ most renowned heroes. While evoking a gritty, old-school feel with Superman bending a tommy gun, this statue is a modern, sculptural interpretation of Metropolis’ hero.

The CW has released the official (spoiler-filled) description for “Booster”, the 18th episode of Season 10 of “Smallville”.
- DC COMICS CHARACTER BOOSTER GOLD ARRIVES FROM THE FUTURE; THE BLUE BEETLE IS BORN! – After everything that happened with the VRA, Lois (Erica Durance) tells Clark (Tom Welling) it’s best to make “Clark Kent” forgettable and awkward so people don’t suspect he’s The Blur. However, the two are stunned when a fame-hungry superhero from the future, Booster Gold (guest star Eric Martsolf, “Days of Our Lives”), sweeps into town and begins making saves and posing for press ops, completely winning over the city of Metropolis. Booster begins his campaign to take The Blur’s place as the “World’s Greatest Superhero” and tries to charm Lois into writing a story about him, but she’s not having his antics and begins her own campaign for The Blur. During one of Booster’s saves, an alien weapon in the form of a scarab falls from a truck and fuses itself to a boy named Jaime Reyes (guest star Jaden Brandt Bartlett), turning him into the Blue Beetle. Unfortunately… Jaime is unable to control the suit and Blue Beetle starts attacking Metropolis.
Tom Welling directed the episode written by Geoff Johns.
“Booster” will air on Friday, April 22nd at 8.00pm on The CW. “Smallville” returns a week before that with its next new episode titled “Kent”.
