![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Superman has isolated himself and no longer dons his heroic garb, essentially retired. Disturbed by this brave new world, Superman has “retired” and his Justice League peers have gone into various states of hibernation or eccentricity. This “Elseworlds” tale - a story that takes place outside the DC Universe canon - occurs in a future where a vigilante segment of the super hero population, emboldened by public sentiment, have broken the established “code” set by the traditional heroes, and have started killing villains rather than incarcerating them. I last read it in High School, and have held it to such a high standard since that inaugural reading, I feared the scrutiny of my “adult eye.” Kingdom Come was the closest collected edition at hand, but to be frank, I was a little wary about returning to it after more than a decade. It has been many, many years since I last read Mark Waid and Alex Ross’ Kingdom Come, but after watching the enjoyable (but heavily flawed) Justice League, I was in the mood to indulge my love of all things DC Comics. ![]()
