Opening at an estimated 3,400 theaters across the country, the latest James Bond action release "Quantum of Solace" should easily be the number one draw of the weekend.

Tom Ford creates perfectly tailored suits that match the super spy's mystique. Forget gadgets, this time around it's the look that kills. Forty-six years ago, when Sean Connery played his first hand of chemin de fer clad in a shawl-collar tuxedo as James Bond in "Dr. No," the world was a much different place. Dressing up for dinner was de rigueur, and high-tech meant a shortwave radio hidden in a bookcase. But that first film established the Bond mystique: Women wanted him, and men wanted to be like him. He played by his own rules, always with the best toys, and he wielded his license to kill in Savile Row suits.

A moment of supersilence, please: In Action Comics No. 870, released on Wednesday, Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of Superman, suffers a fatal heart attack. His death comes after the supervillain Brainiac attacks the Kent farmhouse in an attempt to hurt Superman; despite all his mighty power, the Man of Steel is unable to save his dad. Superman “lost one of the biggest tethers to Earth and his human life,” said Geoff Johns, the writer of Action Comics. “It’s going to be pretty brutal for him to deal with the fallout.” This is at least the fourth death of Jonathan Kent in the Superman mythos, following previous demises in comic books (in 1939), the “Superman” feature film (in 1978) and the television series “Smallville” (2006). Rest in peace (again), Pa.
