Brian Pulido, creator of Lady Death and a 30-year comics publisher, traces how Kingdom Come represented a paradigm shift in superhero storytelling. He explains how the book introduced point-of-view characters that let readers step back and see superheroes with epic grandeur for the first time. Pulido makes the case that Kingdom Come directly influenced Marvel's Civil War and Phase One films, particularly their treatment of cause and effect. He also breaks down the sheer density of work packed into every Alex Ross panel.
This clip is from the Kingdom Come documentary, a documentary by RA Imaging and Comic Book Pros.
