Today, Creation Entertainment revealed that Alaina Huffman (Dinah Lance, the Black Canary) has been added to their second “Salute to Smallville” convention happening in Chicago in September 2025. This will offer fans the opportunity to meet her and purchase autograph and photo opportunities, as well as hearing stories from her in dedicated panels.

DISCLAIMER: KryptonSite’s Craig Byrne was involved with the making of Creation’s Salute to Smallville convention and served as a co-host/emcee with Derek Russell at the 2024 event.

In October, Creation Entertainment hosted their first-ever “Salute to Smallville” convention – featuring such guests as Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Laura Vandervoort, Aaron Ashmore, and John Glover. The first event was a fantastic experience for all, with fans and talent alike having a great time surrounding themselves with others who love Smallville. Like Creation’s Supernatural “Creation Tour,” friends were made, friends reunited… and we can’t wait to do it again. As a bonus, KryptonSite’s very own Craig Byrne (the writer of this article!) got to host/emcee the event with our good friend and Starkville’s House of El podcaster (the OG of SV Podcasters!) Derek Russell.

Well, you’re in luck: Today, Creation formally announced their next Smallville event! Held September 13-14, 2025 in the Chicago area, the second “Salute to Smallville” has already announced that Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance, and Kristin Kreuk are scheduled to attend, with more to come — and the announcement comes with a new website which should have a somewhat familiar design. (Full disclosure: It was purposely designed to look like KryptonSite, and it was largely put together by the author of this very article.) As a bonus, the new website includes some exclusive short videos from last month’s event!

Even better: Gold Weekend Experience passes are already available to order for the absolute best seats, the exclusive Gold Panel, and additional perks. If you order yours now you can be the among the first to sign up, and ideally, to show Creation that we’d like to see more of these things! Several autographs and photo opportunities are also up to pre-order, so you can get in before they all sell out. Frankly, ordering now also shows Creation that putting together this new website was a good investment, as well, which would make this author extremely grateful.

Tony Todd, who played Earl Jenkins in the Smallville Season 1 episode “Jitters” has passed away. The actor, who is most famous for his role in the Candyman franchise, was only 69 years old. He passed November 6 at his home in Los Angeles; no cause of death has been revealed as of yet.

Smallville wasn’t Tony Todd’s only venture into the DC Universe. He lent his voice to such projects s Batman: The Brave and the Bold and even voiced Darkseid in multiple animated features. He also was the voice of the villainous Zoom in over a dozen episode of The CW’s Flash TV series.

He leaves behind a ton of work and a legion of fans who appreciated him. We are so sorry to read that he has died.
