- Definitely master piece
This comic book is one of my favorites for all time, in this story, you can see the antinomy of superheroes, just like the harvey dent saying:You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. superman is like god . but batman is like buddha.

Coming off of Marvels, everyone wondered how or even if Alex Ross could top himslef. Kingdom Come answered that with a resounding yes. The art is superb here, and the whole thing screams epic. Waid and Ross clearly take the subject mater seriously, and some of the characters, Captain Marvel in particular are treated with more respect than they have been in decades. This is a must read for any fan of DC Comics or the genre

- Shame about the writing.
Every time I read Kingdom Come, the divide between the art and the script becomes more and more painfully apparent. There's just nothing good about the plot of Kingdom Come. It took the idea of 'superpowers go out of control' and set it back fifteen years. Every hero in it (and there's quite the list) is portrayed in a singularly unremarkable way.

If it weren't for the Biblical-looking Todd Klein lettering, I'd suggest ignoring the words entirely. No barriers are even gently pushed - much less broken.

Alex Ross, however, saves the story from someone's dumpster by painting every panel with the sort of reverence and luxurious detail that is normally reserved for chapel ceilings. Although Ross (deservedly) gets most of the credit for Kingdom Come, somehow Mark Waid has managed to parlay this into a career of doing REALLY EPIC THINGS.
