I'm going to start reading comics
Amazing book. One of the first full comic arcs I've read and it was absolute cinema. I read Batman death in the family and a bit of hush but this was just amazing. The art is great, the story line is amazing. Wow. I wish there was a hardcover with this cover art too, the cover art is beautiful.

One of the greatest comic book stories ever told
I consider this book to be ahead of its time as the values of traditional heroes (no kill rule) are constantly questioned today and we are in a renaissance of anti-heroes. Shows the 'come-out-of-retirement' esque side of Batman and Superman is given a lot of time to shine in this story as well. Lex Luthor and Shazam end up having significant roles as well as this was just a well-conceived plot from start to finish. As for the illustrations, I consider Alex Ross to be the best illustrator I have ever come across and Kingdom Come is just one of the many books he signifies his skill in such a manner. I think if you're looking for something action-packed this might not be your cup of coffee because the action doesn't really start to hit until towards the last chapter or two (not going into spoilers but the one on one battle that occurs is one of the greatest showdowns I've seen in a comic book), but the story and the underlying themes is truly where this story shines brightest. One of the all time greats in comic history for a reason and one of the most beloved ones at that, all fully deserving.

Beautiful illustrations
The images are really great to look at and the characters look amazing. Kingdom come shows what a real superman story is about.

Wonderful
Very high quality book and story. If you’re a fan of DC you’ll probably like this one a lot. I found it a bit overwhelming at first but by the end I really enjoyed it.

really good edition of kingdom come; includes all the concept art, as well as interviews etc
was shipped out fast. apart from some folding at the back, which is honestly not so noticeable/not a big deal, it's in really good condition

I have waited to purchase this book for quite a while
For a DC comics fan especially Justice League this is a very good book and asks important questions of whether superheroes are gods or people, and can people accept them amongst themselves or treat them as gods
