Kingdom Come written by Mark Waid and painted by Alex Ross.

Kingdom come is a great story that has everything you've ever loved about DC comics. the only part i didnt like was supes and ww hooking up at the end.

why?

I wouldnt say that about ross. His thing is allowing readers to see what was, in a modern light. sort of like how the all star line should've been.

yeah, i get Ross' mindset, in a way i share a lot of his opinions and misgivings about Post-Crisis. its just the way people are.

It's boring, uninteresting, and cliche as hell....

 

[CaptainClown]

Most Superman stories seem like he goes through the same conflict..

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Which conflict is that?

 

[CaptainClown]

Superman can't save the whole world, he doesn't want to kill any bad guys blah blah then he becomes almost big brother type or he goes into hiding but the world needs him.. I dunno all seem the same to me but I still enjoy them

 

[Gilpesh]

Isn't the whole Superman story, he can save the whole world but if he did, people wouldn't learn to help themselves. So he can't actually help too much.

Cause in Red Son, he completely saved Russia but Lex Luthor (of course) points out the fatal flaw in Superman doing that.

Spoiler

"Why don't you put the whole world in a bottle, Superman?"

 

[CaptainClown]

Ya I liked Red Son alot

Reads like a fan-service.
I really didn't see anything to get all excited about except if I was a pedantic "I know everything about DCU history" type person, in which case I'd enjoy the "spot the hero/villain" sequences of pages which pretty much
make up the entire book.

It doesn't help that I think Ross does awful sequentials...
