Just to go back to this but Kingdom Come is just another "Elseworlds" book so no it won't represent the future or possible future for the DC heroes. As the trade for KC puts it:

Quote:

In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places-some that have existed or might of existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist."

Elseworlds titles like KC can allow new and old readers to jump into a book with out the numerous years of continuity and backstory to enjoy the books and the story. It's this reason alone why I'm loving All Star Superman & Justice.

That said and back on topic, I am enjoying the OYL Superman arc in "Superman" and "Action Comics" by Busiek & Johns.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think Superman lost his powers to Gold Kryptonite radiation. Has anybody here read "Superman : What happened to the man of tomorrow?". Same premise, I suppose. Willingly getting in a chamber to get a radiation bath of gold kryptonite. Maybe DC is having this opportunity to get Lois pregnant. Who know? =P

I'm a little lost on the Gold Kryptonite too. I'll be getting round to picking up DC's Alan Moore work compilation soon enough but whether or not this fits in with this Newsarama has a preview up for next week's Action Comics including this panel:


As for the Lois thing, that's my feeling too especially with DC's write up for Action Comics #839...
