Over the years, there have been conventions to mainly promote comic books in general, but never before was there any convention where the main theme is a specific comic book franchise/subfranchise until this year. On August 17-19 will be the first annual Smallville SUPERFEST, scheduled to happen in Plano, Illinois, the location selected by Warner Bros. to play the town of Smalville for the upcoming 2013 film The Man of Steel. The Smallville Superfest focuses on a specific subcategory of the DC Comics Super-Heroes (DC Universe) fracnhise ---- Superman!
