(1) Why is Green Lantern's custom design looks so much like Parallax's!? Did the artists run out of custom design or something!? LOL(2) Well! It's mentioned that the daughter of Red Arrow and the mercenary Cheshire, has become Red Hood.(3) I can't stress this enough but Alex Ross' artwork and the characters' design is so, so exquisite! Glorious! Amazing! You are welcome to take a look at the example of said artwork here.(4) Plus the middle-age to old-age Justice League members are so damnThis story is about the children and grandchildren of the Old Guard superheroes (think Justice League and the like), who are lacking in finesse, compassion and an overriding need to protect the regular people. Instead, they bicker, brag about wiping out Old Guard villains and then proceed to become the villains by having gang fights out in public, putting the humans at risk amidst flying cars, crumbling buildings and all types of energy blasts. Superman has since withdrawn from things after a
Beautiful art, deep and interesting story full of twists and truths hidden behind truths.And really how do you control a world full of meta humans and how do you keep faith.If you're a fan of super hero comics this one is almost essential.
easily the best artwork I've seen so far in a comic book. Alex Ross may use models and photographs and Photoshop intensively in order to obtain this photorealistic effect, but I don't really care as long as the final product is something like this. He's abusing a little the trick of illuminating a face from bellow to increase dramatism, but I love the color palette and the dynamism of his scenes.The decision to depict the superheroes as mature / older versions of their established images is
A previous review summed up my feelings on this - Alex Ross does kick-ass covers, but once you get over the fact that his panels look "really life like!" you realize that life-like isn't what you want out of a comic. Do you want Norman Rockwell drawing Bat-Man? Not really. The story is okay, a decent bit of alternative-future, everyonne-dies-but-it-doesn't-matter-as-its-not-cannon fluff.
One of the DCs crown jewels! This TPB edition collects Kingdom Come #1-4, plus an epilogue (exclusive of the collected TPB edition), an introduction by Elliot S. Maggin (who did the prose novelization), and a Sketch gallery (including a guide of the characters portraited on each individual cover of the original comic book issues).Creative Team:Writers: Mark Waid & Alex RossIllustrator: Alex RossLetterer: Todd Klein ROAD TO KINGDOM COME This epic tale showing the last days of the DC
