Warner Brothers clearly doesn't consider Smallville a "comic book" property, despite its origins.Higgipediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15898074416237354260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-35351822260556145732012-02-21T15:42:11.890-05:002012-02-21T15:42:11.890-05:00From what I've seen of their games, MWP is sup...From what I've seen of their games, MWP is super great at making RPGs that perfectly emulate the feel of their licensed properties.
