    "[Chloe] and Jimmy have a previous relationship"
    As I have posted before, Allison Mack won't get a lot of screen time on the final season of Smallville but that won't be Chloe Sullivan's last appearance. Fans of the character will get the chance to continue to see her on first comic book appearance in Action Comics #893 (on sale September 29) on the back up story alongside Jimmy Olsen
    Writer Nick Spencer talked with TV Guide about this and he describes Chloe:

    "She's a very successful and dedicated reporter and a major player in Metropolis"

    Since she has never appeared in the DCU before, her story will differ that from that in the Smallville TV show, so her history has some tweaks, as Spencer explains:

    "It's a pretty different continuity, which I think has always been the challenging part of bringing Chloe into the DC Comics Universe. She's never existed in the comics before, so in order to make a part of Clark's life when he was a teenager in Smallville, you'd have to do it somewhat retroactively, and it would age Chloe as a character a lot, since Superman is well past that part of his life in the books."

    We can be sure though that "she's the same dogged, funny and principled girl we've all come to love", as Spencer explained. We will also see a somewhat homage to Olsen's appearance on the TV series because: 

    "She and Jimmy have a previous relationship and that causes him to embark on a huge adventure that takes him across space and alternate realities to prove something to himself and her." 

     The story sounds awesome, and with all this info we also get a first look at her in her comic book form:

    Will you continue to follow Chloe after her curtain closes on the Smallville's TV show?

    I love Chloe, but I couldn't stand Smallville, so I dropped it. But she's pretty awesome, so I guess it'll be interesting to see how she works in comics.

    Me too, definitely, she was the best part of Smallville, no doubt. Then the annoyances kept coming (this was long before the 'beginnings' of the JLA, or the show's version of it), so I dropped it entirely. I still kept up to date with Chloe's storyline, but I didn't watch the series anymore.

    I am kind of upset of what she looks like. But we will have to see if her personality is the same. Then we will really see if this is our Chloe.

    I was waiting for Action Comics #893, because I knew Chloe Sullivan is going to be in it.
