Cold Storage - A Comics Podcast

Join Cally and Spencer as they review “Kingdom Come” by Mark Waid and Alex Ross.

Kingdom Come is a four-issue comic book miniseries published in 1996 by DC Comics under their Elseworlds imprint. It was written by Mark Waid and Alex Ross and painted in gouache by Ross, who also developed the concept from an original idea. This Elseworlds story is a deconstructionist tale set in a future that deals with a growing conflict between the visibly out-of-touch "traditional" superheroes, and a growing population of largely amoral and dangerously irresponsible new vigilantes, in many cases the offspring of the traditional heroes.

Join Cally and Spencer as they review “Omac” by Jack “King” Kirby.

Omac was one of the last characters Jack did during his stint at DC. He used a scrapped design for a futuristic Captain America he had come up with years earlier.
