ASHLEY LAND, Comic Book Resources ; Kingdom Come Highlighted The Importance of Superhero Ethics
"Kingdom Come's depiction of the brash and unchecked younger heroes' recklessness and how without responsibility, power can become destructive is also a reminder of the famous Spider-Man code. The rapid devolution and anarchy that took place in the absence of Superman and Batman's well known "no killing" code showed readers why there are lines that superheroes should never cross. With many casual fans questioning why Batman doesn't simply kill Joker or why Superman doesn't kill Lex Luthor, this series serves as an excellent answer to those questions. Once superheroes turn themselves into judges, juries and executioners, they immediately risk becoming destructive tyrants."
