And as I read it, I would come across a verse here, a verse there that reflected the stuff that we were going to put in the story.
It’s the most broadly interpretive book in literature.
Writer Mark Waid recalls: “I was desperately looking for a hook… and I just stumbled across the Bible.” But it turns out that Revelation, though it provides a subtext in the sense of a sounding board to lend gravity and depth to the adventure, is more of a superstructure than a substructure. The action is frequently captioned by quotes from the Book of Revelation (sometimes slightly altered from the King James Version), and it appears that the story of battling superheroes culminating in a nuclear Armageddon must be an adaptation of the biblical Apocalypse. It was soon published in a single volume format as a graphic novel.
Kingdom Come by Alex Ross, plotter and artist, and writer Mark Waid, appeared first as a comic book mini-series of four issues in 1996.
