    It is. I don't know what you personally may or may not have read, but me, I've lost track of who's dead right now. (I'm about two months behind on FF; I'll pick up the next two because I ordered them from my LCS, but that's all.)

    Um...the first one, mainly. Don't know what it is, too lazy to look it up.
    Kingdom Come is a Kurt Busiek / Alex Ross mini series by DC in, what, the mid-late 90's? It's largely about parodying the anti-heroes of the day, and it generally considered a classic comic book work.
    Unlike a lot of classic comic book works, I thoroughly enjoy it.
    It's a sort of dystopian future Elseworlds, in which Cable Magog has led Superman into retirement, which makes most of the classics retire.
    It's really good.

    Indeed it is really good, but didn't Mark Waid write it? Busiek and Ross did Marvels for, well, Marvel.

    Knew I'd get that wrong!
    (Checks his GN.) Yep, you're right, it's Waid, and Marvels is Busiek.
    I kind of always think of Kingdom Come as a follow-up to Marvels; Alex Ross going 'I did that for Marvel, let's see what I can do for you, DC' and forget they had writers.
