If you got this, what did you think of it? I bought it yesterday and -- wow. I thouht it was one of the finest absolute volumes yet!

 

Care to elaborate on the goodies? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

There's a sweet, sweet character sketchbook which is, so far, what I've enjoyed the most. The sketchbook along with Ross details on the character development appears to be very hefty.

 

Not only that, the oversize format enhances the art -- all sorts of commentary and extras.

 

I actually bought one at full price, which I never do, because this looks worth it and I want the local stores here to keep ordering the premium items like this. Plus, this is something which I think any DC fan would want to own.

 

The Absolute format is incredible and once again, much like with their Archives, DC leads the way showing how to reprint older material.

 

Now -- I love the Masterworks, but when you compare the quality -- Archives or Masterworks, marvel HCs v. Absolute editions, the premium DC item is always just that little notch higher.

 

Absolute Kingdom Come ranks up there with Absolute Authority vol. 1, Absolute Watchmen and Absolute Planetary (an honorable mention ot Absolute Crisis) as the best volumes thus far.

I already bought one deluxe edition of KC, the two-book slipcased edition from about 9 years ago with the page signed by Busiek and Ross. Plus I have the trading card set, which is really hard to find unopened boxes of these days. I was thinking I'd like to build the auto'd set, but man, it's crazy. I think there were only 3000 boxes made. Anyway, I'd love to have this, but enough's enough. |New Frontier| can't get here fast enough, though.

It was an additional sequence created for the trade - I don't think it was in Kingdom Come #4.

No, it wasn't in the regular issues. It was added for the trade. I have the the originals and the softback trade, don't think I'll be getting this one. I loved the story though.
