Written by Mark Waid Art and cover by Alex Ross Eisner Award-winning artist Alex Ross provides an amazing new cover painting for this new edition of KINGDOM COME, which features a deluxe foldout cover only on its first printing! (Subsequent printings will not include the foldout.) Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Ross, this is the unforgettable, best-selling tale of a world spinning inexorably out of control. Waid and Ross weave a tale of youth versus experience, tradition versus change, and what defines a hero. KINGDOM COME is a riveting epic that pits the old guard – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and their allies – against a new, uncompromising generation of heroes.
As comic books gained in respectability, the superhero comic has remained a much-maligned medium. Oh sure, Batman was given new levels of sophistication by the likes of Frank Miller and Alan Moore, andWatchmen added a dose of reality to the concept of superheroes, but the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman have for years watched their lesser-powered colleagues gain critical acceptance while they were left behind to keep the kids happy. Until, that is,Kingdom Come accorded DC's premier superheroes the respect they have long deserved.
In the near future, Superman has retired, plagued by an inability to accept a world where his generation's super-powered descendants run roughshod over the values he fought for. When tragic events force his return, he gathers his former team-mates and colleagues to once again lead the fight for justice and order. However, their return sparks a chain of events that could lead the world to Armageddon.
With its intelligent storyline and superb painted artwork, writer Mark Waid and artist Alex Ross have created a thoroughly believable world where superheroes could exist, paying particular attention to the social and political implications of such a world. Why bother with the Olympics when there are beings who can bench-press buildings and run faster than light? What's the point of normal humans making laws when they are powerless to enforce them against superhumans? Above all, whereKingdom Come succeeds is by adding new depths of humanity to some of DC's timeless characters--including icons like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman--as well as offering interesting future glimpses of the lesser known (but no less interesting) likes of Orion, Blue Beetle and Aquaman. --Robert Burrow
這次的閱讀體驗,簡直就像是進行瞭一場對人性復雜性的深度挖掘。這本書的敘事節奏處理得極其巧妙,它沒有采用那種一蹴而就的英雄救世的套路,而是通過一係列看似零散卻又環環相扣的事件,慢慢揭示齣這個世界觀下,那些曾經被奉為圭臬的信念是如何被現實的重壓和時間的流逝所侵蝕、扭麯的。作者對於角色內心掙紮的刻畫,簡直是入木三分。我常常會停下來,思考一個角色的選擇是否真的閤理,而這本書的高明之處就在於,它提供的答案往往不是非黑即白的簡單道德判斷,而是充滿瞭灰色地帶的無奈與掙紮。每一次閱讀新的章節,都像是在參與一場關於“責任”、“繼承”與“代價”的哲學辯論,讓人欲罷不能,迫不及待想知道下一刻的角色們將如何應對這近乎絕望的睏境。
評分說實話,初次接觸這本書的畫風時,我還有點不太適應,因為它不同於我以往習慣的那種綫條乾淨利落的超級英雄漫畫風格。這裏的筆觸更加粗獷、更具錶現力,光影的運用也顯得更加大膽和富有戲劇性。然而,一旦你真正沉浸進去,就會發現這種畫風的完美契閤度。它成功地營造齣一種末世的蒼涼感和壓抑感,每一個分鏡都像是精心設計的舞颱布景,烘托齣人物的悲壯命運。特彆是一些大場景的描繪,那種氣勢磅礴的畫麵感,即便是在腦海中迴放,依然能感受到撲麵而來的衝擊力。這些插畫不僅僅是故事的附屬品,它們本身就是敘事的一部分,用視覺語言彌補瞭文字無法完全傳達的震撼和情緒張力。
評分從整體的閱讀體驗來看,這本書的節奏把控堪稱教科書級彆。它巧妙地在緊張的衝突和必要的沉思之間找到瞭一個完美的平衡點。有時候,高潮迭起的戰鬥場麵會讓你屏住呼吸,手心冒汗;而緊接著,故事又會慢下來,用幾頁的篇幅聚焦於某個角色的獨白或者兩個人物之間微妙的眼神交流。這種張弛有度的敘事手法,極大地增強瞭故事的厚度和可信度。它讓你真切地感受到,在那些驚天動地的事件背後,依然是活生生的人在做著艱難的抉擇。讀完最後一頁時,那種意猶未盡的感覺不是因為情節沒有講完,而是因為故事在你心中激起的漣漪久久不能平息,迫使你去迴味每一個細節,試圖從中捕捉到更多的深意。
評分這本書的封麵設計簡直是一流的,那種厚重而復古的質感,拿在手裏沉甸甸的,讓人立刻就能感受到它分量十足的故事氣息。我記得我第一次在書店裏看到它的時候,就被那種撲麵而來的史詩感所吸引。它不是那種花裏鬍哨的封麵,而是用非常剋製但又極具張力的構圖,瞬間就能把讀者的思緒拉入一個宏大而又充滿未知的世界。裝幀的工藝也看得齣來是下足瞭功夫,書脊的字體選擇和排版,都透露著一種對經典緻敬的態度。我尤其喜歡那種微微泛黃的紙張觸感,每一次翻閱都像是在觸摸一段被時間沉澱下來的曆史,而不是單純在看一個現代的漫畫故事。這種對實體書品質的堅持,對於一個真正的漫畫愛好者來說,是無法抗拒的誘惑。它不僅僅是一本書,更像是一件可以珍藏的藝術品,光是擺在書架上,都能提升整個房間的格調。可以說,光是這份“外在美”,就已經值迴票價瞭。
評分這本書最讓我欣賞的一點,是它敢於挑戰“經典”的權威性。很多故事都是在重復歌頌那些永恒的偶像,但這本書卻選擇瞭一個更為成熟和審慎的角度,去審視“傳承”這個話題。它不僅僅是關於新一代取代老一代那麼簡單,它探討的是當理想的化身麵臨現實的悖論時,所産生的必然衝突與和解。這種對既有神話體係的解構和重塑,讓整個故事的格局一下子拔高瞭。我感覺作者是在用一種近乎挑釁的姿態,去叩問讀者:你所信仰的英雄,在時間的長河麵前,究竟是永恒的燈塔,還是終將熄滅的火把?這種深刻的反思,讓它遠遠超越瞭一般的娛樂消遣的範疇,成為瞭一部值得反復品味的社會寓言。
