KINGDOM
COME is a comic book by DC, about the catastrophic battle between all
superheroes of the DC world (Superman,
Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Original Red
Tornado, Lady Marvel, King Marvel, Aleea Strange, Midnight, The Whiz, Captain
Comet, Bullet
man II, Brainiac's Daughter, Bullet Girl II, Power Woman, Aqua
Man, The Flash, etc…).
It's the greatest
super Hero Epic of tomorrow! As such, it is set in the
future, when Superman is around 50 yrs old or so, having retired from his
superhero duties due to him losing his faith in humanity. After he
caught the
Joker, the Joker who was killed by Magog, a younger more extreme metahuman.
Superman couldn't accept the fact that since then, people chose Magog over him,
the man who can kill over the man who can't. Magog was considered to be the man
of
tomorrow and not him. And this was where the plot evolved. Superman needs to
overcome his pride and guilt in order to help save the human and superhuman
race from extinction. The whole story, I found exciting, palpitating,
scary and ruthless. I'm not a DC fan per se but I caught myself captivated by
its plot and superb
action sequence. Man! I wouldn't mind watching this in a
real live action flick! Anyway, this is not a review, but rather, just a
reaction post to the comic book story. All I can say is, I can't wait to see
how Clark & Diana's kid will turn out to be, given that Bruce will be the
baby's godfather. Oh yeah, Superman tied the knot with Wonder Woman and he and
Batman are still the best of friends. Like any fairy tale, it ended happily.
Read it!
