Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross
I just finished reading it about a week ago and I have to say that I thought it was great! First of all, I am a fan of Alex Ross’s work. I was pleased to find that all the artwork was done by his hand. Many times I’ve come across comic’s that use his work for just the covers.
The graphic novel started out a little slow, but still kept it interesting. I was able to see a totally different side of our JLA. One that’s not been shown. It really showed the struggle for balancing their human/nonhuman emotions. I thought it was pretty deep the way the characters were portrayed by Mark Waid. It was a great surprise to see the fight between Shazam and Supes’. The two biggest powerhouses going at it! It was awesome! I don’t want to give too much away…
If you have a comic for me to read that you think is just awesome, please let me know. As of now, I’ve read Identity Crisis, Infinate Crsis2, Annihilation Books1-3, and bits of Watchmen and Planet Hulk.

Hi There!
Wroteabout this great piece of work several months ago, so the real question becomes what your thoughts are about the ” Kingdom Come ” Superman finds himself in the Justice Society of Americe and re-adjusting to life on a different Earth than what he is used to?

If you like DC stuff, check out the New Frontier. It’s a lot of fun. It’s a retelling of the DC Universe set in the 1950’s. It’s retro, but they bring some more modern sensibilities to it.
