After years of waiting, I finally get a Hardcover of Kingdom come and let me tell you it was worth it. Depending on your tastes, and whether or not you can acknowledge Ross as the master artist that he is, you have at least heard of this Elseworlds story; and unless you're new to the game, you've heard about the superhuman war that lies within(Maybe war is an exaggeration but it does have a nice ring to it). Anyway, the greatest decision you have to make here is not "Should I purchase it?" but rather "Which format should I purchase it in?" And as someone who went a little crazy and owns more than ten copies let me be the first to say: Hardcover is the way to go. But which hardcover? Absolute, Limited or regular edition? Well, If you regularly spend 100+ every other weekend, then the choice is obvious, use that abundance of wealth and buy everything. But if you're one of us regular shmoes who often get buyers remorse, then you really only have to make a decision, buy cheap or save for the regular hardcover. Now don't get me wrong here, the paperbacks are fine on their own, but your goal really should be the Hardcover. Why? Because the paperbacks, nice as they may be, have quality issues. They tend to damage easily, wear themselves out and have not aged well even when they are described as NEW. When you are dealing with high quality art the likes of Alex Ross, paper quality matters, and if it fades then it is not as impressive. The hardcovers solve this problem because they are protective of the art and use a more absorbent type of paper that makes the art look more vibrant and new even 15+ years after their original release. It's the preferred choice. Get your copy for under $20 if you can, trust me it'll be worth it.
