Hey, it's Alex Ross Double - Feature Sunday !

You know, this post wasn't even on my bingo card and I thought I would continue working on my tribute post to Dale Eaglesham's stint on THE JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA ( well, after fixing the second part of my spotlight on Peter David and Dale Keown's run on THE INCREDIBLE HULK because a lot of the SCHLEFAZ videos I have included in my posts have been deleted so I hope that at least the german speaking part of my audience had the wisdom to watch it while it was still up ) but while I was writing that I realized that even though I am a big fan of Alex Ross I have only done one post about him so I couldn't let this go on any longer.

Especially since I finally have accumulated enough material to write a spotlight post. Keeping in mind that the reason for this post is that I mentioned THE JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA and KINGDOM COME in another post I naturally wanted to include artwork from both series and I could have made one with just that plus some pages from the JUSTICE mini series. But I also wanted to include some material from one of my favourite series ASTRO CITY since so far I also have done just one full blown standalone spotlight post with just the art by Brent Anderson .

Don't get me wrong, Brent Anderson is a great artist and has gone well beyond what anyone would have expected from him but it would be nice to be able to add another post to the links and not rely so much on some small portion of the bonus section of a post where I mentioned the book.

That said there will be another ASTRO CITY post coming in the not too distant future as soon as I have enough quality material. I could do one right now but it just doesn't feel right because there are a few art pieces that are not up to the usual blog standards and I would like to wait a bit longer to see if I can get just one or two more pieces of higher quality.

Which is a lot of words about what will be just a small part of this post.

The main part will be about Mark Waid and Alex Ross KINGDOM COME which is for some the greatest super hero epos DC Comics published.

Being that the comic was fully painted this will be a different post than my regular ones which are mainly BLACK AND WHITE posts, meaning the original black and white art goes side by side with the coloured pages.

In this case there is only the original coloured art so that will make the main part shorter. Which is a good thing. Anyway, here are the pages from KINGDOM COME - with a few JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA covers thrown in for good measure - that I selected for this Alex Ross tribute.

two times the fun
