![]() ![]() ![]() Cheesiest of all of these is the weighty inclusion of an ethereal preacher, who is present throughout all the action to pass judgement on the heroes, build tension through apocalyptic dreams and act as a rather handy narrator. To string a short story long, a number of predictable devices are used to progress the plot. Instead, the new breed is too busy infighting in busy urban areas to care about how many buildings are flattened or people squashed. Why? Because the stiff old super-codgers don't like the way the new heroes have abandoned the moral high ground, where no civilian should be hurt and even super-villains deserve a chance at rehabilitation. This story comes from DC Comics' forward thinking department, calling a retired (and grey haired) Superman and friends back into service to battle with the new generation of superheroes. ![]() Graphic novel review - Kingdom Come - Mark Waid, Alex Ross ![]()
