I can't die without knowing how it will end", and thus, looked both ways before crossing the street, never ran with scissors, and made sure I waited at least 30 min. after eating before getting into the pool. The point is, it was SUCH an excellent novel that I could do little more than dream of the next issue until it came out. And, unlike many other storylines, Kingdom Come didn't end unsatisfactorily. Thank you Mr. Waid and Mr. Ross! I remember reading the first issue of Kingdom Come, and thinking, “I must do all that I can to at least survive the resultant of this series.

It brings the emotion of every scene to life and captures the darkness and characterization of Bendis’ story in a way that I have not seen since Alex Ross’ work on Kingdom Come.

The book came out in four seperate 48 pagers with these absolutely spectacular covers with like 1000 characters on each cover. I spent hours looking at all the artwork trying to find sift through as many easter eggs as I possibly could. What I remember (it's been a good long while since I read this exceptional piece of work) as the fact that the dialogue crackled off the page and the artwork made you believe you were actually there. Definitely a book that has to be on every graphic novel readers shelf. I remember reading this when it first came out.
