CLEX ZINE LAUNCH DAY!!!!

LEGENDS: https://legendszine.com/

(This is a digital zine with a FREE downloadable PDF version!)

On October 16th, 2001 the pilot episode of Smallville aired on the WB television network. WB had just lost its flagship show Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the higher-bidding rival UPN network, and the question loomed– could the WB survive without its most prized possession? Would Tuesday nights ever be the same?

As soon as Smallville aired to an audience of 8.4 million viewers– a network record– WB executives knew they had a hit, and scrambled to order what would eventually become a 10-year long series, cementing itself into television history.

From the outset, Smallville was not your typical “superhero show.” In addition to the show’s grounded philosophy (“No flights, no tights!”) Smallville filled in the high-school years of a young Clark Kent, but it also completely changed the way fans viewed Superman’s greatest enemy– Lex Luthor. Before Michael Rosenbaum’s stunning turn as Lex, Superman fans generally viewed Lex as an entertaining yet ultimately morally and philosophically shallow villain. Smallville’s Lex took a black and white comic book landscape and smeared it with a thousand shades of gray. Lex Luthor was no longer simply a villain; he was a young, ambitious loner caught in the shadow and nefarious machinations of his father; in need of a true friend, and as alienated as the young Kal-El. Despite his tragic destiny, viewers in the first season of Smallville weren’t rooting against this young villain; they were rooting for him. Oftentimes more than they were rooting for the show’s hero, Clark Kent.

That more nuanced writing dynamic between Lex and Clark also immediately spawned a thousand fic– and one epic character ship! Clex, or Clark/Lex! For many viewers, the soppy, mooning stares Clark sent Lana Lang’s way were far less intriguing than the strange, hypnotic connection stirring between Clark and Lex. Television’s most epic “meet violent” (“meet cute” car crash style) cemented what would become the fandom’s most popular ship, and result in the creation of thousands upon thousands of fanworks.

Countless Clex works were written, including now-legendary authors including (but not limited to): @astolat, @rivkat , @seperis, P.L. Nunn, Thamiris, Liviapenn , @lanninglurksnomore, @seepunkrun , Te, Henry Jones Jr., and danceswithgary. 

The relationship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor has been explored in other universes (comic books, films, other television shows) but never as viscerally or as nuanced as in Smallville.Twenty-one years later Clex fanfiction is still being published, and Clex fanart is still being created and shared. This Zine is a love letter to that vivacious fandom, and hopefully a bit of a bugle call– that “Yes! Clex is still being written and illustrated! See us roar!” 

So. We hope you enjoy the contributions enclosed in this Zine. The moderators would like to thank first and foremost the hard-working fanwriters and fanartists that gave their time, talent, and treasure to make this Zine come together. 

We would also like to thank @chase2452 for his initial efforts to set up the 2021 Clex Zine, which became the 2022 LEGENDS Zine; Archive of Our Own for serving as a home and refuge for Clex fanfiction, especially the efforts of the Open Doors team to port the Smallville Slash Archive over to Ao3 in 2012. 

And we would like to thank any readers and fanart appreciators who have continued to comment, kudos, and share past and current Clex fanfiction and fanart around the internet. 

Thank you, you are the stuff of LEGENDS!

Please I need fic recommendations where our baby boy Lex gets the happy ending he deserves. I've been stalking your gifs/tags but I need more happy Lex living his best life 🥺 ❤

Identical Series owns my heart and soul and occupies all my daydreams, so I recommend it first and foremost. and this is my unofficial, incomplete Clex fic rec list, and I think all but one give Lex the happy ending he deserves

they made the pain and frustration of watching Smallville worthwhile for me, so I hope you enjoy too! ❤️❤️

#one of these days I'll make a proper rec list with summaries #but let me know if you want a summary on any individual ones #asks #clex fic #smallville clex #clex

[luthwhore]

the difference between lex luthor in dc comics vs lex luthor in smallville is that if comics lex ever managed to successfully kill superman, he would feel triumphant for all of a week, then realize his life suddenly felt empty and purposeless before having his 50th "the world needs superman, actually" realization and trying to clone him (again) whereas smallville lex would orchestrate things so they died together and he'd be crying the whole time

My SMALLVILLE opinions that no one asked for

Clois >>>>> anyone else in this show, their love dynamic was amazing. I love how they went from strangers - friends - flirting - lovers, I forgot how far into the show they even got together because of how close they were

Pete >>>>> Chloe, I loved the friendship between him and Clark, the fact that he was first to know about Clark's secret was amazing and his protectiveness of his friendship with Clark and Clark's with Lex is completely understandable.

SMALLVILLE Justice League >>>>>>>> Whatever DC makes today, I actually haven't really watched any Superhero movies other than the Batman Vs Robin, Justice League Vs Teen Titans, or THE BATMAN since I'm not really a fan of WB and there are some actors in the newer movies that I DO NOT want to support, but SMALLVILLE always gave these characters interesting stories (even if they only appeared in a few episodes) and a full episode dedicated to them

Clex >>>>>> Superman Vs Luthor, the fact that their origin has them being friends???? I mean like

Look at this it's perfect, the billionaire and the farm boy, Lex really valued this friendship and the fact that they met at like age 3 (Clark) and age 9 (Lex)

This meeting was so wholesome, I re-watch this episode over and over again because it was so strong for a pilot episode, I remember when I was 10 and first watched it I was blown away and wanted to see more.

Martha and Jonathan Kent were amazing, they were great parents to Clark, they had character and their chemistry was just so natural, my heart broke when Jonathan died because there'd be no more of them

Lex >>>> any other Villain origin story, Alexander Luthor's story wasn't all "happy life turns sad then person turns to evil" Lex literally fought hard to be a good person, sure he had his untrustworthy moments but SMALLVILLES Lex Luthor had such a good story that I even forgot that he was Superman's greatest enemy

Annnnnd that's all I can think of right now, maybe when I finish the show I'll add more but I'm currently re-watching it since it's been 4 years since I last watched it where I left off and I want to relive all the experiences that I binged in one summer
