Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross has long been one of my favorite – if not absolute favorite – graphic novels. Alex Ross’ rendition is one of the first – if not the first – comic book posters I remember buying. Last month I purchased the Audible edition of Kingdom Come. I am pleased to say that the audio version does the book justice.
The book is relatively short – only a few hours start to finish. But it had me feeling like a kid reading a comic again within the first chapter. The audiobook version stays true to the original. The voice acting is top notch. The exposition is not offensive, and the book switches to narration by Norman McCay when needed. Yes, sometimes it feels a touch forced, but it is after all, an audiobook.
In several seems, I could see Alex Ross’ beautifully drawn art in my head, whether it was Superman working in “Kansas,” Billy Batson in a tuxedo, or the Flash patrolling Keystone City, I could see it again, and it brought a smile – sometimes almost a tear – to my face.
If you are a fan of Kingdom Come and want a new way to revisit it, I highly recommend the audiobook version. 👍
