Kingdom Come
by Mark Waid
The artwork and art direction is phenomenal start to finish on this one. It's different from your typical comic art style, and for this dramatic, apocalyptic story, it works.
The story tells a strong "what-if" philosophical narrative debating who should ultimately decide the fate of the world - the humans or the superhumans. I've heard it proclaimed as the greatest graphic novel ever written. Perhaps if I was more familiar with the pantheons of characters introduced - even if only as background art - I would have a stronger attachment to the characters and story. As it is I know a few key players, and only one of them very well: Batman. I plan to revisit this after reading more on the main cast, to see if that deepens my involvement with the characters. Still, I feel for true greatness, this story should be a little more stand-alone.
