Kingdom Come {new Edition} Reviews

"An older Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman compellingly face a future where heroism has gone darkly, violently wrong. Ross' painted, hyper-realistic visuals may be the most awe-inspiring in modern comics." --Booklist

"Waid's charged dialogue and Ross' stunning visual realism expose the genius, pride, fears and foibles of DC's heroes and villains."--Wasington Post

"Waid's writing has depth, emotion, and power; Ross's extraordinary painted artwork is masterful, realistic, and beautiful; and the story has resonance both biblical and mythical. No library should be without some edition of this book."--Library Journal Starred Review

"One of the best comic stories ever told."--Washington Examiner
