Anyone read both? Any thoughts?

While Kingdom Come is still good I personally did like Justice more.

I prefer the classic Hero vs Villain rather than the Hero vs Hero story. Some of the characters in Kingdom were not portrayed all that well and I didn’t care for all the new heroes introduced. I thought the team up of villains in Justice and the planned takedown of the heroes was great as well as their “making the world better.” I’m not really a GL fan but I liked the part when Hal was on the edge of the Universe. Overall it was more fun and just more enjoyable read for me.

I preferred KC, it had a better plot though Justice is underrated and should be talked more. I also liked the simple hero vs villain story as some many events these days try so hard to be subversive and what not, sometimes I like to just see heroes being heroes.

Kingdom Come. I just find the story and overall subject matter more intriguing than JUSTICE.

@mazahs117: @supreme_marvel: @army2442: @skywalker95: @ready_4_madness: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on these two great stories.

Side note: Alex Ross is always great but there is really something about the way he draws Billy Batson/Captain Marvel in particular that I love. That smile really captures him perfect.
