- For once a JLA that doesn't rehash a previous storyline
Kingdom Come is one of those graphic novels that are just amazing to read and at the same time look at. Alex Ross is a skillful artist that has captured the essence of the DC superheroes perfectly. From the aging Batman's neck brace to the minute details and expressions of the people. This is just truly well done. The story by Mark Waid is also another testament to the greatness of the series. His ability to draw the reader into the story makes the art leap from the page.

This story is A JLA story worth telling. Not like your saturday morning cartoons, no this is a masterpiece. With a mature storyline that doesn't dumb itself down or does it underestimate the reader. This is an intelligent tale that deserves to be read by all Comic book fans Marvel and DC alike...

and it makes Civil War look like a joke!!!

makes you wish Alex Ross and Mark Waid not go through their ... Read More

- I Don't Think We Are In Kansas Anymore
I came upon this book by accident in the comic books store while looking for new titles to read. As I write this I am 49 years old (only a few months to half-century) and it was just 2 years ago I got back into comics after 30+ years away from reading them. It was apparently the right time as since then I have bought and read 52, Countdown, Infinite Crisis, and am now in the midst of the excellent Final Crisis series.

As for Kingdom Come I have never been so impressed and stunned by comic book art than the work of Alex Ross. This man's work is on the level of the great masters. Each character in the story looks like he could step out of the story and exist as a real person and yet also is exaggerated to some extent (i.e. Superman and that size 50 chest) to give you that super-human feel. A perfect balance and in my mind the way I picture a super hero.

- Best Graphic Novel Ever
Okay, I got carried away. It's technically a trade paperback.
Still, it is one of the greatest superhero stories ever told. Superman hasn't simply retired; he gave up on the world when they found Magog not guilty for straight-up murdering the Joker. The new heroes aren't just a little amoral; they battle villains AND each other, with no regard for civilian lives. Wonder Woman convinces Superman to return and create a new Justice League, Lex Luthor and other villains (along with Captain Marvel) opperate under the guise of keeping the world safe for normal humans, and Batman recruits old and new heroes who really disagree with both sides.
Most everyone makes some poor choices that culminate in an allout superhuman battle. The entire story is a reflection of Revelation, with a spiritually faltering reverend being guided through the story by the Spectre.
Every single DC fan and every curious Marvel ... Read More
