Hi, I have been looking to pick up Kingdom Come in a Deluxe Hardcover Format.

My only problem is deciding between the Absolute Slipcased Hardcover Edition,

and the Limited Edition Deluxe Slipcased Hardcover Edition by Graphitti Designs

They both seem to have alot of Extra Material, and other good stuff, and If anyone would be so kind as to help me out in my dilemma that would be much appreciated.

The biggest difference between the two that I can tell seems to be that The Graphitti Designs Edition has 2 Volume, One Containg the 4-Issue Mini, and the other titled "Revelations" containing the Bonus Material

Also the Graphitti Designs Edition seems to be a little more expensive, but if it is worth it, I will gladly pay a little extra for it.

Please Help me out if you can, Kingdom Come is one of my favorite stories of all time, and I wanna make sure that i'm getting the best possible Version of it that I can.

Thank you

I've never seen the Graphitti Designs one, but the Absolute version looks terrible. It looks like it was blown up from regular book, so the art just looks bad.

I recommend the Graphitti Designs version. I'm not even tempted to get the Absolute. Comparisons:

1.The Graphitti edition has the main story in one hardcover book, and the extras come in a second 'Revelations' book. Revelations looks and feels like a leather bible, which is badass.

2. The contents in Revelations make up most of the extras in the Absolute edition. Which means they have 90% the same extras.

3. The GD version is the size of a standard hardcover, and is light enough to carry around and read. The Absolute is much bulkier.

4. The Graphitti edition is durable and classy. The Absolute edition has a nice cover and paper quality, but the art reproductions look blown up, grainy. Lots of reviews have mentioned this.


If the larger pages is a big deal to you, the Absolute is pretty good. The Graphitti version is smaller but better. On the other hand, there are only 5000 of them, so they can be expensive. Good luck!
