Kingdom Come

Remember the movie 50 First Dates with Drew Barrymore. (Dear Lord, she just gets hotter with age, doesn’t she?) At any rate... In the movie, every night as she sleeps her mind reboots and she forgets everything she experienced the day before.. So every morning she wakes up thinking it June 8, 2004, or something like that.

If you read Kingdom Come, you’ll wish you had that condition so you would read it again for the first time.

What’s it about?
There is no longer room for heroes with outdated ideas. Stuff like responsibility, duty, compassion, and honor are too “old school”. The public wants heroes that will take an Eye for an Eye! Unwilling to compromise their morals (y’know, the thing that makes them special), our heroes retire and a new generation takes the mantle to fight the good fight.

Have you seen that next generation? They are a buncha illiterates, I tell ya! With their Mtv and cellphones. Needless, to say our heroes return from retirement to show us what being a hero is all about.

Why is this special?
The art is painted by Alex Ross and he gives some of the best visuals you will ever see.
This books features almost every DC character of the modern and golden age.
Oh, and it has a heavy dose of the Specter.

And?
Superman vs. Shazam. nuff said.
