Kind of symbolic and telling how, in the comic, all the 'new' metahumans with their edgy aesthetic were all killed, just like how most of them disappeared after the 90s and superman's generation are the only ones left. Goes to show how timeless they are and that the 'fad, trendy' heroes didn't stay long.
@jack-exzolt9858 2 жыл бұрын
What's amazing about it is that KC is the Author's clapback to all those edgy and overtly cynical comics that came out of the 90's. Both heroes and villains, cared not of saving lives. But rather just to sate their bloodlust.

@Linator4 9 ай бұрын
That’s honestly how I feel about The Boys comics. I enjoy the connected comics/games universe of Injustice, but I have evil Superman fatigue after that story, Homelander, & Omni-Man. I prefer Kal-El as a hero & I just want him done with heart in the DCU like the All-Star Superman story they’re basing Legacy off of. While I feel even Injustice did Batman v. Superman better than the DCEU, I’d much rather see it executed the way it was in Kingdom Come & The Dark Knight Returns.

My favorite superhero book of all time. A love letter to the Golden Age, a criticism of moralless and irrational antiheroes that, unfortunately, continues to be relevant. Plus, each character experiences a catharsis: Superman and his adjustment to a world ruled by animals, Batman and his self-imposed isolation and mission to Gotham City, Wonder Woman and her increasingly violent emotions, and Captain Marvel and his brainwashing at the hands of Lex Luthor.
@rcbmmines4579 2 жыл бұрын
Definitely up there as one of the best ever. It's vision of the DC Universe, its characters, and its future are very relevant even (especially) now and the story itself has those biblical and heroic themes behind it. Heroes doing their best to stay true even as the world grows darker and rejects them, with the long defeat culminating in a glimpse of final victory. It's the ultimate DC story in that way. I hope that we get an adaptation do this justice or at least take its message to heart. Maybe a live-action adaptation with Brandon Routh's Superman from CW's Crisis but on HBO Max.

In the case of Kingdom Come Superman and the other heroes start out as this gods wanting to help make the world better, but in the end, they had to recognize that their actions end up affecting people's trust in the super heroes, making decide in the end to try to regain the people's trust., recognizing their mistake in order to become better.

I love this comic. I also highly recommend the novelization, which expands on details of the story.

I had read comic books since I was 4 years old, they basically taught me to read. I had a huge collection by my twenties but after COIE and Secret Wars, I quit. I saw this Trade Paperback and got drawn back in. That exchange between Superman & Wonder Woman about war is one of my favorite dialogs of all time.

You mentioned Ross's choice of James Robinson. I absolutely loved Golden Age and feel it's every bit as good as Kingdom Come.

It took me almost 20 years to get my Softcover & Hardcover copies of Kingdom Come signed by both Mark Waid & Alex Ross. 1998 at the Warner Bros Store in Glendale Ca for Alex Ross & 2014 Wondercon Anaheim Ca for the Stump Mark Waid Pannel which I successfully did.

I love the video overall, but one small thing bothers me, Billy Batson is Captain Marvel, he’s never called anything else throughout the whole book because at that point he’d never been named anything else, calling him Shazam is incorrect to the story.

I was grounded in the 7th grade when i found this at the library. I was so happy to be grounded and forced to go to library until my mom got off work. I was pretty happy bruh. This and civil war marvel are my favorite stories.
