    When it comes to re-readability, can't beat Kingdom Come.

    It’s a great Justice League story, it’s a great Superman story, and all the extra pages or art from the book are terrific. I missed Marvels but I saw the posters and hype coming out for KC.

    Voted for Kingdom Come, as I have the TPB but never read it. I've also never read The Twelve - I have the Omnibus, but reading the entire Omnibus would take a whiiiiile?!

    I wouldn't worry about it. It's a cinematic work. It probably takes less time to read than Kingdom Come does, honestly.

    Well, now that you've said that.... I've just realized I completely confused "The Twelve" with "Apocalypse - The Twelve". I have the Omnibus for the latter but I've just realized we are talking about the former!

    Barring another vote before the end of today I may switch my vote from Batmanga in order to avoid yet another tie.

    I am good with either book in the lead. Can whoever started the club “call it”?

    Since I was the lone voter for Batmanga I'll switch mine to the Twelve to break the tie. I remember starting to read this when it came out but I think the delays killed it for me if I'm remembering correctly.

    Thanks for being magnanimous! I had read the 12 before as well but I just read issue one last night and it will be my first re-read. I am looking forward to the discussion.
