In this arc, Mark Waid returns to his landmark work Kingdom Come (1994), which itself was a nostalgic return to an earlier era of more humane super heroes during the ultra-violence of the Image boom in the early '90s. Seeing Dan Mora draw the Kingdom Come character designs alone is worth the price of admission. Seeing the origins of Magog is interesting, though a little forced.

Oof. While the ending is in the spirit of the light and warmth of this series, the story is pretty heavy. Though considering it's calling back to Mark Waid's Kingdom Come, I don't know why I'm surprised. Dan Mora's art continues to slay me. I love the hope this particular Superman embodies and the unshakeable faith this Batman has in him.
