Chronicling the creation of one of the most beloved DC Comics, this documentary explores how Alex Ross and Mark Waid developed the story and illustrations for Kingdom Come, including Ross’ use of traditional, hand painted and hyperrealist illustration, rather than the more-popular digital illustration styles of other comics. The screening is followed by a discussion with editors Joey Cavalieri and Charles Kochman.
