This is a great novelization of the Kingdom Come trade paperback. It fills in a lot of background information that would have interrupted the pace and flow of the comic. This allows much more detail and background and well as the ability to see other characters in greater detail. A must read for the fan of Kingdom Come and fans of superhero books in general.

extra treat (apart from smashing up Booster), is the inclusion of some
art pieces by Alex Ross throughout the book.

...I'd heard of the skill Maggin's writings before picking this book up, how descriptive he is, how detailed he is, how he manages to accurately and believably characterize even the most inhuman and alien beings well enough to actually make you care for them, to make you see what their p.o.v might be. Well, what I heard of him was dead on. This dude brings superhero drama to life like no one can, minus the pretty pictures. Doing this is even more of a challenge to pull off successfully, because without ... Read More
