44:25 This entire exchange between Superman and Magog is just impressive. The actors did their jobs; they sold their character's emotions well. I really feel for Magog in this moment. He didn't want to be number one, not like this.
The actor for Magog, Phil Corso, really helped us understand the character with his wonderful, nuanced performance. Magog is so easy to dismiss as a villainous show-off, but there's so much sadness there
Dang, didn't expect this to be this good. The voice actors do a fantastic job, aside from having a hard time visualizing some scenes. But when funny moments happen very little in the DC Universe, the actors make them stand out so much more in this story
Alex Ross gets so much credit for his peerless art (and rightfully so), but let's give a round of applause to the superb writing of Mark Waid...hearing these guys (and women) bring the words to life renews my appreciation for this wondrous of works...
Those two should work together more! We still feel honored to be able to act out their wonderful story :D

+Cape Swoosh Productions You should hold a contest for your listeners. 100 dollar entry fee. Who ever wins gets an audiobook written about their life. So many people would want something like that. 100 contestants would bring in a good $10,000. It's one of those ideas that will either be a huge success or a complete failure. I don't see it landing anywhere in the middle.
If you end up getting rich from it, I want credit. If it fails, It was never my idea.
I agree, Kingdom Come had an amazing story. Too bad his sequel was (imo) pretty bad.
Mark Waid became a villian.
It's no Worm. JC McCrae really made me appreciate the effort to patch every single plot hole and seal every avenue when writing a tragedy. I can't help comparing every superhero genre story it now.
To which I must respond: does it need to be Worm? Look, I respect your admiration for Mr. McCrae (and I’m sorry if I’m offending you), but you’ve really got to stop comparing Worm to other superhero stories- not every one of them is made equal. To expect that every lump in the mine will be diamond instead of coal is frankly unhealthy, for both you and the artists making these works- for you because you’ll be actively ruining your enjoyment of said works because you just cannot settle for less when sometimes it is best, and for the artists because they’ll have to live under unrealistic standards and the desire to fulfill them when they haven’t either the experience or creative acumen to do so- it would be like forcing a child to play chess against a grandmaster.
@@liansmith4038 Are you speaking to me personally? Or the Worm community in general? Because that's just my new benchmark, not in the quality of writing or character development, but in plot devices and continuity. And you're for the community, you're better off posting on Spacebattles or Sufficient Velocity.
And just between you and me? The real reason I post these comments is to continue to build awareness for Worm so I'll have more people to talk to about it. I am hoping someone will go, "Oh, what's Worm?" and go look it up.
@@Terrakinetic 8 months later, I want you to know. No idea what Worm is. And specifically, do want to what the hell it is to be talked about like this.
You bring about change. You matter
It would of been better if we saw the comic book itself during this great audio.
Is this a radio play??
@@shoubhiksen3549 It's an audio adaptation of the hit DC series "Kingdom Come" with art by Alex Ross and written by Mark Waid. It follows some years into the DC Universe where the new age of heroes run rampant about and when this causes the destruction of Kansas, Superman reassembles the Justice League while Batman creates the Outsiders. Try finding the comic and reading it first hand it's grade A stuff.
Just buy the graphic novel
@@shoubhiksen3549 you
@@kimjoromo3519 I got the actual comic for my birthday with concept art and scrapped ideas in the back of the book for just $20.00. I even read it after I listened to the audiobook (which I finished first) and still had a ball. If you're an avid DC fan. Or heck, just an average comic book fan, get Kingdom Come
One of the best stories I have ever read! And the artwork was awesome!
Jennifer Pruitt Alex Ross is the man! Every page of Kingdom Come is a work of art
When I think of what could've been without David Zaslav barking down Warner Bros' snorkel. Still, I have absolutely no idea how Warner Animation could've brought Alex Ross' visuals to life. Perhaps we'll never know.
This was amazing!! I wish you guys would make a comeback and keep the audio comics coming! Amazing
Wow this seems really good for what I've heard so far. This is my top 3 graphic novels and i love this story. Thank you!!!
fantastic job on the narration! everyone involved really made this epic story come to life.
Thanks so much! It was a ton of work for only our 2nd production; we're gluttons for punishment. ;)
Cape Swoosh Productions you're most welcome!
I’m working on making an audio drama myself and you are a huge inspiration!
You're gonna do something amazing!
You know what sucks? we never got to actually see what Magog's generation of heroes was like. We never got to find out anything about Tokyo Rose or 666 or Trix or Tusk or the new Black Canary or the new Mr Terrific, or Stars and Stripes or Von Bach or even that much about Magog himself. Dc should get on that and tell us more in a series or something.
I had the same feeling, I wanted to know about both Mary Marvel and her new Shazam Family. Also I wanted to see Martian Manhunter make a powerful comeback.
Actually the very presentation of those characters was in itself a statement, such a loud statement that spoke volumes, which is the general language of almost all comic book characters. Moreover to further elaborate any further on any of those mentioned would defeat the purpose of the entire story, those characters level of dialogue and info of them served thier purpose exactly
Read virtually any second wave Image title and you'll see exactly what those type of heroes were like as that was the vibe Waid was going for. I'm fine with not seeing more of that.
It was a good audio-story, but they needed someone with a deeper voice for both Superman and Batman. When those two spoke, it sounded like fanboys playing with their action figures. Everybody in the audio story kept pronouncing Magog's name as "May-gog" but it's "Mah-gog". I own this two cassette audiobook, and I love the original graphic novels. My favorite DC story along with The Dark Knight Returns.
William Batson we are fan boys playing with our action figures ;)
At first I wasn't really into it, but after a few minutes, it started to grow on me. I don't know anything about this story or the comics surrounding it, but I really liked it. I liked the voices too. The way they recorded the voices, makes everyone seem more natural, with thought pauses and human quirks in language. I dig it.
Fantastic job, Thank you!
thank you for these
The ending to the comic is simply beautiful
Amazing job! But as for anyone that has yet to sit down and read the actual book please do, you are missing the full experience, and the phenominal artwork of Alex Ross. But again thanks to whoever made this video, you can tell the superb effort and hard work that was put into it.....great job!
+Bill Montgomery We worship Alex Ross' artwork too haha. Our recommended listening experience it to grab a copy of the book, a cup of coffee, turn on our audio, and really jump in
One of my favorite stories done in comics, and Ross's artwork is just amazing. This production does a VERY good job at bringing it to life. Loved the idea of Pastor McCray talking at a normal volume to reach Clark at the UN, though the comics showed it as him having to yell. "They won't forgive you for this Clark. Forgive yourself."
I just found this. WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD THIS SOONER?!
Cuz we're young and terrible at marketing! :)
Cape Swoosh Productions and this was on public radio too?! I live in Louisiana and now wish their was a radio station that did this! I need to make a radio station.
It's awesome , I'd love to see this synced panel by panel ...
I found this today 😂
Bravo!!! I very much enjoyed this.
Wow absolutely amazing
this is so fuckin cool man I listen to this while I'm on the computer at work ...it makes my day so much better and go so quickly. ..keep up the good work..i hope there's more to come .
+kolasvegas “ko” knockout Thank you, that really means a lot! Stay tuned for some more upcoming awesome stories!
Thank you so much 💟💟💟
Dude when he said "woe", I literally thought at first it was "woah". 😅😂
Lmao that would be so funny, a Keanu Reeves Sandman 😂
Very good voice acting.
This is the first audiobook I ever listened to. I had the single issues and at least 2 trade paper backs. I think I left this tape in my car after my crazy accident.
I had this comic book for real. Great book.
well i've read this many times.And i don,t know exactly why but the best phrase in the whole book just makes me weep.The weight of the entire plot is on those words.I find them beautiful...decide the world.
montrealfilmguy it was so deathly quiet in the studio when we recorded that scene with Superman and Billy. Truly beautiful
I feel like I’m at church listening to this
Awesome job and great to listen to
If this is an amateur production, they did one hell of a damn good job
You can see
Kingdom Come audiobook.
It is with parts and they show images. You can see it if you want.....
Nice job. Really nice job on this.... just beautiful.
Omg how could they have left out the Mar'i and Avia part?? That was the best part of the book!
Kingdom Come was my fav comic series way back when. I still have #'s 1-3 in plastic. Lol.
Amazing!
Oh, wow. Nick Wolf sounds so much like Kevin Conroy!
You just made his day
Bloody hell that was great!!!! 😎🖒
Thank you!
There was a radio adaptation of this series. I wish I could get all the episodes. I could only find a couple and they had to modify the storyline a bit cause without the visuals it's a little difficult to follow with all the characters.
There was a cassette release from Time Warner Audiobooks at the time and it was a good production.
This fan production is great too! It’s interesting to hear how the actors performance choices differ from each production
They needed older voice actors and actresses but overall verrrrrrrry good.
We were all in college at the time, wish we could have sounded more grizzled. Should have had the actors indulge in scotch and cigarettes before recording 🤣
Fan made?
Well done 👍
6:33
Sounds exactly like an Autobot blaster from The Transformers.
👀
@@CapeSwooshProductions
Not complaining.
This is so epic, please continue with more.
Completed Trade paperback Marvel and DC stories :)
+Brandon Rodriguez Will do!
Excellent work but you forgot the part where Jim Corrigan/Spectre is frustrated due to his name being used as a dish named "The Spectre Splatter", while Norman tries to reassure him?
spinach and cottage cheese xD
@@CapeSwooshProductions An almighty and powerful entity only to be known as a simple meal lmao
This is a really nice audio drama!!! Though I have a suggestion, can you add more music?
+Snowy Golem we're definitely looking to add more music to our productions as we refine our technique. Guardians of the Galaxy has a pretty sizable soundtrack and our upcoming shows all feature a lot more mood music and scoring. Stay tuned!
+Cape Swoosh Productions Thanks for replying! I will stay tuned! :)
Ok, This is confusing in the comics its HAWKMAN and you keep referring to him as HAWKGIRL
why?
Cuz he has no lines and we like Hawkgirl ;p
Fair enough, I prefer hawkgirl too it was just confusing for a minute there :-D
@@CapeSwooshProductions Dude thats funny but your wrong for that lmfao
HawkGod
Kingdom Come Khalil
Alan scott was the green lantern appointed to the security council not hal jordan. But other than that I enjoyed it.
😏
HERE IS A QUESTION FOR COMIC BOOK FA.S- WHATS EVERYONE'S TOP 5 FAV GRAPHIC NOVELS?
+Bill Montgomery
Watchmen, Kingdom Come, Batman Year One, Dark Knight Returns, Akira.
+Johnlindsey289 nice
marcus cummings
Those your faves too?
No, I just started reading comics. I'm kind of new. I just finished Kingdom come , and it was great :). And my lady gave me Watchmen . So I'm excited to read!! :)
Hope you enjoy Watchmen, and your lady suggested it to you? thats awesome!
I just want someone to read the comic to me while showing the panels. Is that too much to ask?
Why is the absolute version different? For example, in the book I have it has hawkman yet in the audio you said hawkgirl? There's plenty of other things..
ShinFuYux Glad you noticed that! We were doing the narration when we suddenly realized Hawkman doesn't actually have any lines, and since we loved the Justice League animated series, we thought it'd be a cool tweak to have Hawkgirl be referenced instead
+Cape Swoosh Productions Doesn't effect the story and hey your putting the effort to make something like this.
Why is the S always backwards on the image with the audiobook
Red robin is pretty cool character
Yumm
Please do Batman: Dark Victory!
oooo good idea!
I think it sort of centers on the origin of robin if I recall but if you decide to do dark victory that would be much appreciated bc I really enjoyed long Halloween
I wasn't aware Red Robin existed back during Kingdom Come. Huh.
+TheComicCrafter It's actually where he debuted!
Cape Swoosh Productions I kind of figured. It's great to see that Alex Ross has made contributions to the main DC Universe and not just his usual non-canon miniseries.
but this RR's Dick grayson though
+Jessen's Channel It's still the first appearance of Red Robin, though.
29:23. Just time stamping.
1:19:07 ah...sh...¡¡¡SHAZAM!!

1:33:03
The 1.6 fans who liked this video are the same fans who enjoys watching paint dry on Walls🧱!! Such Concentration 😳
We usually have it on as background noise
Is this before Flashpoint?
This is an Elseworlds story. It was written long before Flashpoint.
Witch then few years later is now cannon kinda but is earth 22 I think also their is a squeal to this
56:42
Liked twitted
Infinity war vs Kingdom come
Makes us sad but Thanos probably wins 😭
It's not Hawkgirl, It's Hawkman Damnit!!!
The Hawkman character doesn't have any lines, and we grew up with Hawkgirl in the cartoons, so we thought it'd be fun
Cape Swoosh Productions So what? You can just do stuff like that.
Here are some puppies

@@CapeSwooshProductions that was well played I clicked on it to see if it would work and it did. I died laughing. 😂 😂 😂
WRONG.
This is NOT the audio production of KC. The voices used for Norman Mckay, Tokyo Rose, etc etc, were professionals and full on production w/professional sound. I don't know WHAT this is. Some cheap amateur upload
We don't claim this is the official audiobook; if you have a look at our channel you'll see we're some fans who enjoy voice over and comic books and love trying our hand at bringing them to life, if only in some small way. This is an early example of what we do, but boy, it sure was fun.
1:20:15
Not fond of the voice for Diana. Otherwise, it was pretty good.
There was a novelization of this... why aren't you reading it?... A Comic book is not an audiobook.
They did a novel version? Man, how did we miss that! Thanks for the pointer
Cape Swoosh Productions ... It was adapted by Elliot S. Maggin... It also had color plates painted by Ross as well as some black and white etchings that were only published in this book
@@johnomara8921 ...to Amazon we go!
.........do the writers forget that superman is with Lois lane.........
+datboiderrty Lois was killed by the Joker shortly before Superman left Earth in this series. Sad plot arc
U REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY Expect All 2 Some Viewers 2 this Cover of This Story WITHOUT No Other pictures or Dialogue related to the Story?? U must work 4 Deliriously Clueless & We Bazaaro: DC & WB
I never followed the DC universe so this is incitefull as to what comes & go's in the DC universe, god knows were all these other super heroes come from, that's probably why I never did follow them
No it isn't. It's literally an Elseworld's Tale, IE, an alternate universe of What Ifs. I mean, there's being a normie, and then there's being a Normie with a capital N.
:45
May-gog? Its pronounced "Ma-gog"
We went with how the dictionary says to pronounce the biblical Magog, although it's 100% up to how it strikes the ear of the fans:)
Apologies, but the official audio adaptation is streets ahead of this.
Yep, about 4 blocks up and 2 blocks over ;p
@@CapeSwooshProductions
Don't worry about what he said
What all of you made is something special
I can tell all of you had fun making this
Then do one yourself and let's see how ot comes out
Wonder Woman was terrible....
yeah, is it just me or did she sound like she should have been lois lane?
The minutemen are trump supporters, lol!
I've been wanting to hear this story for 20 years... couldn't afford the comic books when they were original. Very much disappointed at the entire story. Wonder Woman wound up being Wonder Wench. The extent of Luthor's team was never fully realized. Very weak story telling with a waste of Great Art. (
The voice actors weren't very good. They sounded like your average stuffy nose nerds off the street
We'll be sure to bring the tissues and allergy meds next time :P
@@CapeSwooshProductions not trying to hate. I wouldn't like if someone commented that on my work. You guys are obviously talented and got a lot of love. Its probably just me, I can be too cynical
i take it back...the longer i hear it, the worse it gets. nice effort, but, just really bad voice acting.
This is a horribly produced reading. No descriptive lines included, miscast actors, and an oblivious understanding of the difference between a comic book and a novel. A comic book can let pictures speak for it, but a book has to explain what you cant see. SO a comic audiobook with no pictures AND no explanations is essentially "guess that sound effect". Just awful.
Stop whining and bitching.
