- Amazing art and story
This is a definitive comic in the industry. It is classic Alex Ross with superb art and a deep involving story with some political undertones. The story is amazing and sucks you in as you see it through the eyes of a ministers who is being shown the entire thing by The Spectre in the classic style of the ghosts in A Christmas Carol. I will not get into the story other than to say it is inspired. The art is top notch, the pacing is great and the ending is well thought out and powerful.

- Good story, great art!
If you like alternative history, this is a great graphic novel for you. The artwork is wonderful and the story idea that superheroes' values have changed over time with those of society is very thought-provoking.

I'd highly recommend this one, especially for someone who maybe isn't normally into comix.

- Good, but not great
The story was prety cool, and the artwork was not bad. It was a little difficult to follow the action though when there's like 50 people in one scene at a time. I think people make Kingdom Come out to be better than it actually is. Personally, I liked it, but I wouldn't call it one of the best ever.

- A fine piece of comic art
For one, it must be said upfront that Alex Ross is an incredible artist. Every single page in this book begs to be looked at in detail. The way this man plays with shadows and lighting coupled with the way that he transforms characters into mature versions of themselves and makes them into people that look like people you see pass you by in the street every day is just astounding.

The story is excellent, depicting a world that is near self destruction because of the balance between humans, superheroes and meta-humans. I don't want to talk too much about the story for fear of ruining it but it's definitely worth a read, as Mark Waid has managed to create a storyline that is entertaining not only to the comic book junkies and purists but to your everyday casual reader. Paired with Alex Ross's artwork, the story becomes a frightening tale of morality that bears an uncanny resemblance to our less fantastical times in more ways than one.

Strongly recommended!
