The Process of Painting KINGDOM COME

This feature documentary is an origin story about the beloved 90s-era graphic novel KINGDOM COME, going behind the scenes and inside the mind of its creator: comic book legend Alex Ross.

This film traces the influence of comics history through the present day, exploring the roots of pop culture's most vibrant medium in the 21st century. Featuring a wide range of comic luminaries reflecting on the book and industry, THE LEGEND OF KINGDOM COME seeks to answer the question: Why are comic heroes so beloved?

Through exclusive interviews and original footage, we explore the rich history of comics and their evolution into a cornerstone of modern pop culture. Join us on this journey to discover why these heroes have captured our hearts and imaginations for decades.

Wish we could get some longer form videos about Alex's process. This is amazing for us young artists to try and learn something from the master.

Kingdom come is my favorite comic of all time, not only that the art & story was great but it was both a love message to the golden age of heroes and a message of criticism to the state of the comic book industry back in the 90s

I think he is Kingdom Come Superman.

It is self insert. Really cool drawings as always.

Edit: just found out he actually self inserted himself in every male member of the Justice League, those chin and noses are very suspiciously similar. This happens when you actually use yourself as a basis, either intentional or unintentional. Faces will either look the same or will look like you.

(Just an observation)

There no sound to this video what in the video recording is going on?

I think he uses the gouache with more water than the paint needs. His paintings look like watercolor use less water. If he uses gouache there must be with too much water than normally. Also his colours does not seem opaque as gouache. Anyway he’s awesome!

Can't you make a shorter video next time?
