I finished reading KINGDOM COME, a comic book by DC, about the catastrophic battle between all superheroes of the DC world (Superman,
Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Original Red
Tornado, Lady Marvel, King Marvel, Aleea Strange, Midnight, The Whiz,
Captain Comet, Bullet Man II, Brainiac's Daughter, Bullet Girl II, Power
Woman, Aqua Man, The Flash, etc...). It's the
greatest Super Hero Epic of tomorrow! As such, it is set in the future,
when Superman is around 50 yrs old or so, having retired from his
superhero duties due to him losing his faith in humanity. After he
caught the Joker, the Joker who was killed by Magog, a younger more
extreme metahuman. Superman couldn't accept the fact that since then,
people chose Magog over him, the man who can kill over the man who
can't. Magog was considered to be the man of tomorrow and not him. And
this was where the plot evolved.
Superman needs to overcome his pride
and guilt in order to help save the human and superhuman race from
extinction. The whole story, I found exciting, palpitating, scary and
ruthless. I'm not a DC fan per se but I caught myself captivated by its
plot and superb action sequence. Man! I wouldn't mind watching this in a
real live action flick! Anyway, this is not a review, but rather, just a
reaction post to the comic book story. All I can say is, I can't wait
to see how Clark & Diana's kid will turn out to be, given that Bruce
will be the baby's godfather. Oh yeah, Superman tied the knot with
Wonder Woman and he and Batman are still the best of friends. Like any
fairy tale, it ended happily. Read it!
Speaking
of Superheroes, I took this online test to see which superhero I am in
terms of my strengths, weaknesses and other attributes. I wanted to be a
Super Girl coz I could relate to her a lot. As it turned out, I AM
HER! Hehehe!
