    It was refreshing to see Magog expressing regret instead of just being a cliché villain.
    This story is really great.

      That scene was remarkably mature. I often pointed to it when I discuss what makes a comic "Mature" and especially when people are talking about the Snyder films.

      @@travisbewley7084 it'd be mature to not always find some way to slag Synder when the conversation or topic has nothing to do with him. As annoying as Synderfans can be, the people who absolutely make it a point to slag off him or his movies any chance they can get are just as obnoxious.

      @@NineToFiveGamerUC0079 Snyder just happens to be the torch holder for edgyness that thinks it's way more mature then it really is. Befor Snyder it was Miller and Millar. For all the edgyness that Liefeld brought he never passed it off as more then it was.
      So talks of maturity in comics will naturally involve the biggest train wreck currently and few train wrecks can match the Snyderverse.

    Also, I was expecting a brutal and violent outcome in the storyline such as that in Jupiter's Legacy, and I'm glad that didn't happen. I'm glad its all positive vibes and rationality in this comic, especially admirable are Batman and Shazam.
    And yeah, the art is really fantastic!

The main reason that I have not been able to read the stories because I’m blind so therefore I have no idea about these comics that are out here and the awesome stories that have been written. I used to read comic books when I was a kid when I had eyesight and then, as I got older, I lost my sight! I have not physically read a comic book since 1987! So I hope you continue to do what you do because I will definitely turn other blind people on to this channel so they can hear the great storytelling that you offer! Thank you again. 1:13:33

    Great job! But there was 1 mistake. The fight scene with Shazam and Superman. When he kept saying shazam, he wasn't turning back and forth between man and God. If you look closely, you see shazam uses his super speed to move away and dodge the lightning blast. He was just calling this lightning to hit superman since magic hurts him and this lightning is magic. But then the last time he says shazam, superman uses his super speed first to grab shazam and hold him still so that the lightning hits them both and then he finally changes back to Billy. And superman has now taken control of the situation.

    I've been silently bingeing your videos for the last 2 days. Regarding _Kingdom Come,_ I've heard SO much about this story. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised by what I got: a sort of alternate retelling of the _Injustice_ story. The ending was a little... disappointing. 😕 It all just sort of...fizzled out in the end. I thought that Magog would play a much bigger tole than what he ultimately did, considering he was the one who kicked everything off. And the inclusion of The Specter and the random human Norman to the story was honestly baffling. Neither of them played any meaningful role, and if we were to remove them from the story entirely there would be no change.
    Batman himself was barely involved considering the Joker is one of _his_ villains jumping over to Metropolis. Clark never seemed to blame Batman or even show much of any emotion save for the end battle. I'm also really surprised that Clark never directly mentions Lois Lane here. Were the two of them just not a "thing" in this continuity? And when did the relationship between he and Wonder Woman start, exactly? The story is incredibly vague on this fact.
    As for the art...
    Everyone always has such great things to say Alex Ross, but I have never been impressed. His characters (to me) just aren't very attractive. They look like old fashioned illustrations from the 50's that belong on post cards but for a comic they didn't really "pop" for me. There are some GORGEOUS illustration inspired comic art out there, but Alex Ross wasn't it for me. Everything looks so plain and bland. The colors are very pale and washed out. In all it was a very disappointing, dry story that left me wondering what all the hype is about. Even the ending is disappointing. Clark and Diana are a "thing" but apparently don't even live together. Clark lives in his Fortress of Solitude and Diana is back on Themyscira. What will happen when the child is born? I'd imagine if it's a girl she will stay with Diana and the Amazons. If it's a boy it will live with Clark. I dunno, this just seems very depressing.
    The entire universe here was just very bleak and plain.
