the title explains it all. Kingdom Come is a story about what would happen to Earth if Superman had abandoned it. the results were not pretty. Following through the story by the witness who recieved his visions from the dying Sandman he is taking The Spector to the time of Judgement. In the mean time we see the return of the JLA, Batmans unlikely alliance, and War amongst the Metahumans.this is a powerful tale. Very dark and brooding, with an allstar cast of DC characters. Each playing a key role in this tale.This is a tale worth owning. I first read this and vowed to buy it. It is truely worth owning one way or another.
