Kingdom Come/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Bar Scene: The Question talking to Rorschach in the background.
  • Shazam. Shazam! SHAZAM!!!
  • Clark Kent with glasses and overalls dragging a giant plow in Kansas.
  • McCay calling out the Spectre when he is all set to let the world fall apart.
  • Superman's initial return. There's something that just screams 'Hell yeah! Awesome!' when a blur of blue and red comes to stop some psychotic anti-heroes from killing everyone.
    • For added awesome, play John William's orchestrated Superman score while reading that scene, and turn the page to where Superman appears holding all the unconscious baddies just as the first fanfare hits it's crescendo.
    • The best part of that scene is that between the blur and the actual sighting of Superman, we see a crowd of ordinary people whose expression of shock gradually changes to an exultant, jubilant joy, as they turn their faces towards the sky and McCay states the simple reason: "We knew... We remembered."
  • Magog's Character Development. At the end, he's smacking Swastika upside his head when he fails to show respect for Diana and the ceremony at Paradise Island. According to the Novelization, he becomes a Dean of Students there.
