The story is set years after the current period, the fact DC Comics' s officially put into continuity Declarations as the future of a Alternative land.
Like all good plots that are respected, " Kingdom Come" begins with a prologue: the Joker , about 10 years before the story proper, it invades and kills the Daily Planet, among others, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and Perry White. Brought to the process is killed by Magog, a new super-hero who is acquitted by the jury and Superman, can not bear to be justified in this way a murder, and seeing the people appreciate the behavior of the new super-hero, also discouraged by the death of his beloved Lois Lane , decides to leave the scene super-stopping eroistiche thus be an example to others.

With this preamble begins one of the best series ever written or drawn.

"Let there be His will ..."
Given the importance of this series, as well as the beauty of it, came out several issues that more or less, are able to do it justice. I quote, "Absolute Kingdom Come " published by Planeta De Agostini or, for those without space, the 4 numbers presented in its time, from Play Press I own and I go listing:
Thy Kingdom 1
Contains:
Kingdom Come # 1
Thy Kingdom 2
Contains:
Kingdom Come # 2
Thy Kingdom 3
Contains:
Kingdom Come # 3
Thy Kingdom 4
Contains:
Kingdom Come # 4
Unfortunately, this fourth edition published by stapled Play Press may no longer be available as it is officially out of print and no longer ristampat as the rights DC Comics are now owned by Planeta De Agostini, which, as I mentioned earlier, has created a beautiful hardcover edition volume contains, in addition of course to the story, too many extra pages as the authors note, various sketches and preparatory sketches . E 'strongly recommended the purchase to anyone, not just fans.
