Smallville fans have a chance to determine the outcome of their own digital comic in a contest brought to you by Warner Bros. Television, the CW Network and Stride Gum.
The show’s writers have developed the comic’s beginning and end while contest participants decide what happens in the middle. Both the comic and this week’s episode of Smallville revolve around the return of Pete Ross, who has gained elastic powers after eating some kryptonite-infused Stride Gum.(We couldn’t make this stuff up, folks.) Fans can go to The CW site and read the opening pages of this comic, after which they’ll be presented with two options (four pages each) about what should happen next. Every following Tuesday and Thursday through April 7 they can check out two new sets of pages and vote.
Each scene will become part of a digital comic produced by DC Comics. Prizes include the chance to win a VIP weekend at a national comic book convention and a year supply of Stride Gum. Fifty lucky fans will win Season Six of Smallville on DVD and 12 packs of Stride Gum.

I love these interactive stories. It feels so futuristic, like we should all be wearing jumpsuits while deciding what happens to our favorite characters. And the Kryptonite/gum thing makes more sense than a lot of comic book logic.
