Kingdom come to be honest with u seems like a bad story imo, so shazam sacrifices himself for the heroes and the humans and superman reacts to that by trying to kill everyone? W T heck? And then they make it seem like oh supes still a good person he just needed to be reminded of it, W T heck again? They literally say in the story he's always been that person that knows whats right and wrong and always chooses whats right, so if he diverts from that by his own will that means he knows exactly what he is doing, its not like he was under mind control like shazam was, what they should have done was write a well thought out moment that leads up to superman realizing what he had truly done and sacrifices himself to save the world as his last final act of heroism thus redeeming himself instead of what they went with Also, wonder woman and supes? Yh uh no

@@ridgefrost well Superman knew Billy since he was a ten-year-old kid and he watched him grow up. It makes sense that he'd be almost traumatized by his death. Especially with everything that he learned happened to him in the time skip. And Superman himself has always been human inside, he himself has said that he is always tempted by his powers.

Kingdom Come is a master class in story telling. It’s really just a great and tragic comic. I honestly love how religion is at the core of the story while not feeling preachy or out of place.

Religion is the only well thought out part of kindom come being honest with u, i could go on a whole explanation of why i think the rest of the story was poorly written or average at best but anyway, superman should be dead sacrificing himself as his last act of heroism after realising what he truly did and shazam shouldn't have died for no real reason also, supes and wonderwoman? Yh uh no

"it's only in the face of tragic loss that we are actually forced to confront what caused that loss in the first place" is hands down the greatest statement that transcends the pages of a comic book and can be used to help anyone going through the roughest points of their life. Thank you Rob for one of the purest words of wisdom. Remember these words anytime you are confused or just need guidance on your next step in this crazy thing we call "life."

“But the minute you made the Super more important than the Man…The day you decided to turn your back on mankind…You completely lost your instinct (referring to Superman’s greatest power being his instinctive knowledge of right and wrong that was a gift of his humanity)”. This. I get why people would prefer the Superman who is angrily tearing down the United Nations with his eyes glowing red. But what McCay said is why Superman may be naive, he may stick to his morals too much, and he may be old and busted, but he will always be the bastion of hope and the gold standard for heroism for me.

Can't say I'm surprised that you are a loyal and faithful believer in the aspirational Superman. I am surprised, and find it remarkable how consistently well-written you are. You've always got something to say and it's meaningful just about everytime.
@MasterCode86 Жыл бұрын
as a superman fan, i get the anger we want him to show at times, because superman has been basically screaming at humanity for a long time, trying to teach humanity by example, and humanity due to the nature of comic never truly listens to him and that is a reflection of the same dilema we face here, that we are just one man screaming into the void, no matter how morally upright and righteous we maybe, so seen this beautiful symbol of hope that is superman and have it being ignored really fills us fans with anger because we would love if superman was real. To have that assurance that there is someone watching over us and teaching us the right away rather than stumbling around in the dark putting our faith on corrupt politicians and fake prophets, but to have a geninune god-like angel teaching us to be better is something we all wish we had now, so those of us fans who fall into that despair kind of want superman to break his morals and just beat mankind into the right path by force, i get you, i feel you...but that is NOT superman, that is Lex Luthor, always has been.

Literally how? It’s just a bunch of nonsensical parable garbage. Why was Superman retired ? Why did everyone else retire? Why did he return? Did everyone else return because he did ? What part about “oh Superman didn’t kill us after we genocide superhumans” screams “utopia”? This series looks great from an artistic perspective but that’s it. The actual story itself makes no sense.

Loved Kingdom Come when it came out that I bought different versions of the comic for the art of Alex Ross and the overall story by Mark Waid. But Rob, why are you are messing up the part where it was Dick Grayson on the hospital bed recovering and his daughter by his side whose mother is obviously Starfire and not Superman and Wonder Woman. The utility belt with the Red Robin symbol was right beside Dick Grayson. Quality control, man. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Wow. Self professed Marvel Stan here. This is an amazing story by DC. I have disliked Superman for as long as I can remember. But this put him in a different light. This feels like the first story that's ever given me the feeling that Superman is what he's always supposedly been...which is fallible. I've just never seen it done so eloquently. Usually DC force feeds you the notion that Clark is a deeply flawed, human character. But it never seems to matter because his super persona is quite literally capable of overcoming all of his mistakes. It doesn't matter if his judgment is off, because there are rarely consequences for Superman. But this is a great reminder that good writing is far and away the most important aspect of comics. Can't believe this story made me a fan, at least in some capacity, of Superman. Bravo.
