Anyone know anything about it? I been considering getting it but I like to know the story first.

It kind of delves away from the mainstream DCU Superman, (which is a nice change).

A basic rundown on what happens is as follows:

Spoiler:
The plot focuses upon old Supes waking up to another day in his life on a Krypton which never exploded. He lives with his ultra-hot alien wife and rides a cool futuristic bike. The main thing the reader will note here is that his wife is really really hot. The bike is so very cool, and he gets a wicked costume. All of these are good enough, but luckily there is a solid story there too. Our Kal-el suddenly finds himself gaining strange powers, such as flight and heat-vision...

Its’ exciting enough, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader happy, eventually returning to the regular Superman continuity and involving the miniature city of Kandor, one of my personal favourite DC old-school plot maguffins. I particularly liked the idea of a Kryptonian society where aliens are mistreated, playing upon the history of Krypton’s negative past with regards to genetic purity. It also focuses upon key themes of the series, including Superman’s powerfulness and his relative god-hood compared to us mortals, and the cult of hero-worship. The storyline also has lasting repercussions for the DC continuity.

As for negatives, if anything, I would have loved to have seen the idea of Superman’s life in this ultra-cool and beautifully rendered Krypton fully realized, maybe as a DC Elsworlds title as opposed to part of the regular series.

As stated, the art is just magical, and the chief draw for the title. For those that have not seen any Fathom, Turner’s covers and Caldwell’s pencils are visual viagra, if comics looked this hot when I was a kid my mum would have confiscated them there and then!! The colouring is also vibrant throughout, a shining example of the medium.

It's an excellent story IMO, I've read it about 4 times now. 🙂

Just how strong is Wolverine? In the 2004 X-Men handbook it says he has the normal strength of a man of his apparent age.

Approximately peak human, via feats.

Slightly enhanced, via bios.

See thats something that always got me about Wolverine! I always thought he had normal strength but couldn't believe he could rip through the doors and walls like he always does. I have no problem believing adamantium can be strong enough to cut those thing; but I never really bought that he had the strength to force it through them.

Then I just assumed he must have superstrenght too. Thou no one every really addressed it till I started checking out KMC.

smart a$$. 😛 If he's that fast, can't he keep up with Wonder Woman's flight speed? Isn't her flight speed like mach 10 or a little higher?

I thought Wonder Woman was lightspeed or close to it.

Wondy has entered the speed force under her own power, she's way over lightspeed. 😛

I know it was in the HoM arc, and thus non-canon. Though you probably already knew that much. 😬.

But I have no clue as to the title/issue #.

Forgive me for my naivety, but do comic book reprints hurt the appreciative value of the originals at all?

Who's the current artist for Wolverine: Origins?

Steve Dillon, methinks.

I see. I've heard good things... about the art.

Meh, it's mediocre in my opinion.

I thought Joe Quesada was still doing the artwork for that title, when did Dillion take over? 😕
