This was an excellently written story line. Kingdom Come explores the possible future where there are no more villains, just the off spring of heroes, or "Meta-Humans", who are busy battling each other to no end resulting in the deaths of countless humans. Superman has taken a leave of absence when he realizes that his philosophy has been deemed antiquated after Magog kills the Joker in cold blood and gets away with it. The code of "valuing human life" and "not killing" is no longer honored. There is no honor. So Superman disappears for 10 years, only to be pulled back into "the war" for the sake of humanity. Follow the Spectre through all of the events that unfold as he has one man... a Pastor be the judge of all humanity when the time for judgment comes. A book that is masterfully written with incredible graphics. A must read for all ages.
