But even Ross' photo-realistic art can't save it from the literary quagmire it drives itself into and fails to leave for the entirety of this book. The saving grace of this book is Alex Ross' artwork which may be the reason so many people think it's a "classic" of the superhero genre.
Mark Waid's writing on this book is truly abysmal. It lacks a coherent narrative, competent writing, strong characterisation, and, maybe most basic of all, an interesting story. "Kingdom Come" is one of the most boring, overrated, and simply bad "event" books from DC I've read. This is going to have lots of spoilers in the article, so even though it's a 17 year-old comic at this point, just so you're aware going in.
