Kingdom Come

A Classic. From the days before DC went downhill into whatever the slop is that it makes now. Alex Ross art is at its peak. The story is excellent.

Amazing book. One of the first full comic arcs I've read and it was absolute cinema. I read Batman death in the family and a bit of hush but this was just amazing. The art is great, the story line is amazing. Wow. I wish there was a hardcover with this cover art too, the cover art is beautiful.

This is a classic DC graphic novel! The artwork and story are so well written and beautifully drawn that it stands out as one of the finest works DC comics ever produced!

One of best comics ever.

Very high quality book and story. If you’re a fan of DC you’ll probably like this one a lot. I found it a bit overwhelming at first but by the end I really enjoyed it.

Just the art itself worth everything And the story is soooo good too GET ITTTT

First, let me say the artwork was brilliant. The story was well-thought out. Superman takes his cape and goes home-retires, gives up on humanity. This gives rise to a more bloodthirsty lot; the rise of the meta-human. An old man,an observer who is struggling with his faith,becomes a witness to man’s end time,traveling with a being called the Spectre. This being selects the old man, who is also a reverend, to help decide the fate of the world. The story is complex and well worth a read. There are many other stories going on as the Spectre and the Rev pop in and out of conflicts during the story. I won’t spoil any more of the story , but it is for me an awesome tale. At the end there is a large section about the writer’s thought processes and the artist sketches, which brought the story to life. I can see why this story is revered.

I consider this book to be ahead of its time as the values of traditional heroes (no kill rule) are constantly questioned today and we are in a renaissance of anti-heroes. Shows the 'come-out-of-retirement' esque side of Batman and Superman is given a lot of time to shine in this story as well. Lex Luthor and Shazam end up having significant roles as well as this was just a well-conceived plot from start to finish. As for the illustrations, I consider Alex Ross to be the best illustrator I have ever come across and Kingdom Come is just one of the many books he signifies his skill in such a manner. I think if you're looking for something action-packed this might not be your cup of coffee because the action doesn't really start to hit until towards the last chapter or two (not going into spoilers but the one on one battle that occurs is one of the greatest showdowns I've seen in a comic book), but the story and the underlying themes is truly where this story shines brightest. One of the all time greats in comic history for a reason and one of the most beloved ones at that, all fully deserving.

arrived without issues

This is essential read. A must have.

In tutti i sensi, Quest'opera dall'arte precisa e realistica di Alex Ross è un ritorno dell'uomo di acciaio classico (quello che si cambiava d'abito nei cabinet telefonici e che portava i mutandoni rossi sopra i pantaloni, per intenderci). La storia è stand-alone, dalla lunghezza ampia e con una caratterizzazione dei personaggi più che realistica, non solo sul piano emotivo ma anche su quello fisico (se l'età porta alla saggezza da una parte, dall'altra riduce le energie per poter gestire le situazioni più impegnative oltre a restringere la propria visione d'insieme). I supereroi di un tempo sono vere e proprie montagne, simboli a cui fare riferimento in tempi di crisi.....ma crisi è anche sinonimo di crescita e cambiamento e ciò che era valido in passato potrebbe non esserlo più in futuro.....oppure no?. Un fumetto (e forse anche qualcosa più di questo) grandioso, adatto a tutti.

Good Quality with wonderful artwork and story.

Best comic I've ever read. Artwork and story are amazing. Don't hesitate to buy it.
