Comics on TV: "Smallville" vs. "X-Men"

Decisions, decisions. Fox airs a seven-minute special at 7:30 tonight on the upcoming “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Over on The WB, the “Smallville” season finale will be airing at the same time (from 7 to 8). For more on the latest X-Men movie, check out Sunday’s Comics Fan column. Meanwhile, here’s the official description for tonight’s “Smallville”:

“Brainiac (guest star James Marsters) unleashes a deadly virus, which will kill millions of people, and refuses to give Clark (Tom Welling) the vaccine unless he agrees to release General Zod. Clark turns to Lionel (John Glover), who once again channels Jor-El. Meanwhile, Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) is stunned by his newfound powers and shares the discovery with Lana (Kristin Kreuk), who decides to stand by her new man, unaware of the shocking turn Lex's life is about to take due to Brainiac's evil machinations.”
