Darthphere · 07-01-2006, 08:01 PM

TheCorpulent1 · 07-01-2006, 08:52 PM

Gosh, I haven't read that book in the longest, I feel like grabbing it right now.

It's been 10 years??? Gawd I am old.

Kingdom Come was superbly written and beautifully illustrated. I heard that the novel was excellent too and I am planning on picking that up.

The offshoot "The Kingdom" had some good in-depth character looks at the next gen of heroes. Although I wasn't thrilled about the mini-series, the individual character stories were great, particularly Kid Flash and Ibn's

Spike_x1 · 07-02-2006, 08:34 AM

OMG

. Where ever could I have been all of these years that I have missed out on this story?

Geez, that was like a sarcasm overload.

Tis true Corp but honestly I still cant figure out the point to this thread.

Ya think

Johnny Blaze · 07-02-2006, 01:32 PM

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...wait...wait...wait...wait...

This book...what's it called again...oh yeah... This book, Kingdom Come, which is supposedly written by Mark Waid with Alex Ross doing the art, is actually real?

It's got to be some fanboy playing with us...this book can not truly exist.

Actually I hate All Star Batman & Robin and most of Frank Miller's work. I put that up to make fun of it.

And, what's the deal with me not liking Kingdom Come? I didn't care for it. I hate it when people take comic book stuff too far. I think it was a good story that was a long time coming, really. It's an interesting concept what Mark laid forth how the sons and grandsons of The Golden Age heroes would act. I just couldn't get into the story. I think it's because I didn't like to see Bruce all old and crappy.

TheCorpulent1 · 07-02-2006, 02:00 PM

Bruce wasn't very crappy for an old guy. He still outmaneuvered Lex in the manipulation game, for one.
