Heard about your passing this morning. You will be very missed by very many. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. I read comics as a kid and you’ve helped me keep that passion alive into my adulthood. Someone from work recommended I read this comic today having never read it before, and so I just had to watch THE Comicstorian’s dramatic retelling instead. Your legacy will prevail. Your work is forever set in stone. Rest easy, Benny.

Yeah they’re like OP. Gog or Magog? A time traveling version of Magog in this steals their kid so they’re never actually trained by Bruce Wayne but they’re the Superman of Hypertime dubbed Hyper man who can travel the timeline. Even old universes thought to b dead.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

A story, a cautionary tale, warning about Image Heroes, specifically anti-heroes, that treat Superman and his generation's ideals as old and busted. It rings all too true today, considering I have a feeling quite a few people would actually like or side with Magog. The character literally dressed like the false, golden cow idol in the Old Testament.

[@kingol4801]

Their ideals and their application are different things. As Black Adam said, Superman is a glorified fire-fighter. The only time Superman brought any meaningful CHANGE to humanity was during injustice. Otherwise, it is same old status quo. Status Quo does not work when the world is in flames and nobody does anything substantial to help it. Kinda like global summits nowadays IRL - beautiful environmental objectives with nothing to enforce them, and the countries keep subsidizing the greatest culprits of global emissions….

[@clamhammer4277]

If only Warner Bros.could figure this out, they might be able to make a good Superman movie.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

@@kingol4801 Easy there, Manchester Black/Magog.

[@chuckingreaper8654]

@@kingol4801 Superman’s job is to restrain and imprison those who put innocent lives at risk. He is the bridge to allow justice to unfold for villains who think themselves above your average man. When said villains are at the same level as the people they’ve hurt, it’s the peoples jobs to insure rightful punishment is done. If the society in DC actually used the death penalty, there wouldn’t be any issues prolonging with some or most villains. The issue with Injustice Superman is that in his attempt to force law and order, he took a political position as a dictator that held the world hostage. He stopped some catastrophes by making others take their place. He becomes worse during his five years before Injustice 1 takes place.

[@ranoutofgoodusernames8394]

Seeing KC Bruce and remembering that they got Kevin Conroy to play a version like that in the Arrowverse is very bittersweet. Thanks for the awesome vids as usual

[@AMediumSizedKodiak]

Parasite ripping open Captain Atom is to date maybe the most shocking moment I’ve ever read on a comic panel. That shit was INSANE.

[@eliandervalderen5849]

This is one of the great stories about Superman talks about his moral fiber and how he just tries to be good he doesn't want to rule he doesn't want to control he just wants things to be better. And when the world makes Superman feel like he has no place in it he won't Force his presence upon the world he'll simply take them at their word and leave. Hal Jordan did something similar in the Dark Knight Strikes Back

[@kingol4801]

Which is exactly why Injustice Superman is magnitudes above this Superman. Same with all star - same old. Superman does have great moments where his humanity is what wins and redefines the world: Example - Saving Reverse Flash in the Dark Multiverse. Inspiring Dr. Manhattan during the “Button” event. This Kingdom Come Superman is a JOKE compared to the other three.

[@breadletsky473]

@@kingol4801 injustice superman was a control freak that removed freedom , wdym?

[@eliandervalderen5849]

@@kingol4801 that's debatable. Keep in mind this is the same Superman that basically tossed a angered Hercules aside like he was nothing. The only thing and Justice Superman really has is that he lost his connection to humanity so he basically just throws his power around. Physically there's no telling whether or not he's as strong as the other Superman. Remember Superman gets stronger the longer he lives under a yellow sign in the comic it was stated was that kingdom come or was that Red Son where it was stated that they didn't even know if they Kryptonite bomb would be able to get past his durability anymore?

kingdom come is truly an unrivaled masterpiece

[@kirkhensley5870]

The book reads more like Bram Stoker than Poe or Shakespeare. One really has to chew on the dialogue in order to absorb it, but once you dig in, it's like living through Watchmen and surviving the squid. The fight between Billy Baston and Superman is over the mark with that Dark Knight fight from Frank Miller. Truly a Masterpiece.

[@Supervillain725]

I have this book in hard AND softcover I love it so much. There's a follow up graphic novel called "Thy Kingdom Come, " where Superman is sent to Earth-2 to stop the events of Kingdom Come from happening.

[@manis1551]

Kingdom Come is possibly the best DC comic that I have ever read, its fantastic. The art wok from Alex Ross is beautiful as the realistic art makes the characters feel more real and relatable

[@kingol4801]

I would argue the other way around. Artwork is horrendous. Story is contrived and of little essence, despite it’s attempt nuance. Moral is so primitive that it is beyond sub-par. “The Button”, “Dark Multiverse”, “Injustice”… hell, even the god-awful “All-star Superman” have much more merit than whatever this was. The biggest problem is that people cannot relate to omnipotent beings, whereas, objectively, those beings are the only ones that truly matter, and their morals are inherently different from ego-centered self-serving species that we are. We don’t want thing to changes or be better, as that would need us to rethink our way of life. It is all just a status quo disappointment. Same reason why “Eternals” failed even though it’s message was wonderful - most of humanity simply cannot appreciate it. Same with “Age of Ultron”, where, in objective terms, Ultron was ethically and morally right. And yet he got reduced to a video game bad guy with lots of minions.

I forgot how amazing this art was. Everytime I see it I notice something new. And sure enough I just noticed the old man in the very last panel at the counter was Uncle Sam. He got his own Alex Ross painted story which must be a tie into this. Lol Great stuff.

I've never read this story and I've heard so many people say that this is one of the better comics I general. Now to see what all the hoopla is about. Lol

[@kingol4801]

Injustice is 20 times better and more meaningful. Kingdom Come is a glorified mess that pretends to be smart whilst completely ignoring the IRL implications of it’s moral.

[@ianbruno237]

@@kingol4801Brother you know that’s not true when injustice is a video game tie in albeit a good one but one of the volumes is just a glorified shortened paper version of said game. Kingdom come is atleast at its smallest original idea is based on an Alan Moore idea. Mixed that with amazing art, that might go a little further than injustice

[@lewisholiman9237]

I hope this is what James Gunn does for the finale of the rebooted DC Universe because it’s way more unique and interesting than using Darkseid as the final boss in the vein of Thanos like they always do.

[@MusicWorldVNT]

Agreed

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

James Gunn is going to go full woke. Mark my words on this. So far we have ANOTHER reboot of Superman origin story of Clark starting out at the Daily Planet. The original casting are all gone except Ezra.

[@lewisholiman9237]

@@SSingh-nr8qz I actually think that having Clark start out at the Daily Planet is the right way to go as long as they don’t retell the full origin. Skip over Krypton’s destruction and Clark’s childhood in Smallville, but still make it his debut as Superman. To me, it’s the best way to achieve what Matt Reeves did with The Batman by making it feel like a beginning for the character without showing us what we’ve seen a million times. The reason why I think it’s important as opposed to a Year 2 story like The Batman is that Superman’s relationship with humanity is such a crucial aspect of the character that humanity’s first introduction to him is the natural starting place for his trilogy.

[@StopCallingMeShirley1180]

@@SSingh-nr8qz What makes you think Gunn is going woke? Do you have any basis for that whatsoever?

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

@@StopCallingMeShirley1180 Ezra being rehired while the rest of the cast is canned is a good start. A black Superman storyline being considered. Things like that recently specifically about the new reboot. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with a black superman story but right now is not the time when the basics of the DC universe is in the trash. You have to get the basics right.
