Kingdom Come by Mark Waid, Bob Kahan (Editor), Alex Ross (Illustrator)

A work of Art
Jonathan, a comic nerd, 03/07/2007

In the comics realm, you cannot get much better than Kingdom Come. From the story (dramatic, suspenseful, even heartbreaking) to the art (the most realistic drawings I have ever seen in comics), it wraps you in and doesn't let go. A definite masterpiece, extending far beyond just the art of comics.

A fan all over again
dmiranda, A reviewer, 10/02/2006

The way the characters shown to have changed over the years, one heroes beliefs stays the same and thats no other than Superman. He may have question himself at times but never his beliefs and the way this story is put together in words and in art you'll see that the heroes of the past and present respect him and his beliefs. As a child I was a fan and after reading this book I'm a fan once more only diffrence is now I injoy DC comics with my daughter.

A testiment to the literary maturity of comic books as opposed to the average stereo-types.
A reviewer (Physcadeliakid@aol.com), A reviewer, 03/05/2004

Kingdom come is one of those few comic book stories that realy deserves more attention than just from the fanboy realm. one of the only good books that sprang from a direct result of Kurt Buseik's MARVELS, where the story of the super-hero is told through the average man. A testiment to the literary maturity of comic books as opposed to the average stereo-types.

Best Graphic Novel By Far
A reviewer (dlbaines@yahoo.com), a Superman fan, 02/18/2004

This is the best graphic novel I have read since I took up reading comics. The graphics are WONDERFUL and the storyline is a page turner; I couldn't put it down, and you won't either.

BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL EVER! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I think that this is the greatest book ever, never mind the greatest graphic novel.It appeals to me because i'm a comic fan, but I would love it even if I wasn't a comic fan. (And by the way, ALEX ROSS IS THE GREATEST COMIC BOOK ARTIST EVER.)

Also recommended: I like Mythology and Batman:Hush.Those are really cool titles.I really like the Ultimate X-Men graphic novels, too.
