Book Reviews of Kingdom Come
Book Review: A DC epic!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing that everyone will notice about this collection is Alex Ross' amazing artwork, but trust me, there is one hell of a story there as well! This apocolyptic future of the DC universe makes the whole idea of superheroes more real and very unsettling at the same time. Waid's use of the preacher as a moral compass gives an interesting insight on how we would see these nearly-gods, and he manages to make the more powerful characters more human and vunerable, allowing their characters to have flaws. Of course Ross' art complements the story beautifully; his visions of the DC heroes are amongst the best ever done, and with Kingdom Come he cements his position as one of the greatest comic artists ever. You'll never look at Captain Marvel the same way...
As a nice bonus, there's a "deleted scene" re-included, and an epilogue has been added; it's not vital to the story at all, but is just a nice little touch to finish it. If you don't have this book, buy it now; if you have the comics, buy it anyway!
