Me encanta cómo a pesar de ser una historia de 1996 puede resonar tanto en la actualidad. Sí, son superhéroes, pero la historia se siente realmente humana. No hay necesidad de tener poderes para identificarse con Superman o Wonder Woman. Kingdom Come nos plantea el fin del mundo no con una explosión o un evento catastrófico sino con la pérdida de nuestra humanidad.

This one's a classic, or so I've been told, but as much as I loved the fabulous artwork and the narration style, I didn't find the overall story to be that enjoyable. Maybe it's just the fact that I've been growing out of superhero fiction, something I've been feeling a lot lately, or maybe it's just because it's ancient and I'm only reading it now, after having read countless other works on similar themes. The ending was really beautiful, though. I'd give it a 3.5.
Nice wholesome ending
Lots of interesting ways it could go from here, but there's nothing that feels like a major loose end (I know that, because I'm not annoyed after the ending XD).
I'm curious about the effect the whole Gulag situation had on the...inmates - like a deeper dive. Don't know if there's a comic about that - would be pretty cool.
Definitely enjoyed the art style, it's something I've never seen before.
Some of the prose/narration was BEAUTIFUL.
I connected emotionally with several characters, several times.
All in all, a fun read, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

The magnificence of Kingdom Come is a rare and unique thing. It is a graphic novel about a future that holds nothing but havoc, bloodshed and lost morals, it is about what it really takes to be a true hero, and most importantly, it is about a battle for truth, justice and a new American way. And redemption.
The wide range of characters, the epic battles, the amazing plot and the gorgeous artwork will leave you in awe. If you are into comics and have not read this by now, there is something seriously wrong with you.
