Thirty years ago, Mark Waid and Alex Ross published a story that changed what superhero comics could be. This month, the Alter Ego Book Club is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Kingdom Come.The Justice League has retired. A reckless new generation of heroes fights without rules, and the world is worse for it. When a disaster in Kansas kills a million people, Superman comes out of exile to restore order, and sets the stage for a collision between the heroes who inspired us and the ones who replaced them.
We will talk about Ross's painted art, the battle between hope and fear, that devastating final act, and why this story still feels like it was written about right now.
Never read it? This is the perfect first read. Read it years ago? Come argue about whether Superman was right. Either way, finish it up before you come, and bring your favorite panel in mind.
