Lechium. redownload the torrent
Disable Proximitron and Norton Internet Security when you download a torrent. Internet Explorer also has proxy settings that you might need to change.
If that fails, be sure you aren't using any kind of proxies. Try the "port 81" link on some torrents to download via a different port that is less likely to be proxied without your knowledge. If the IP shown at this page and this page don't match, you are being transparently proxied.
As a last resort, look in your client for an "override IP address sent to tracker" and enter your real IP address in there. However this will only work if for some reason your browser is being proxied but the announce requests are not. I'm not sure how this could occur unless your browser is explicitly set to use some proxy you don't know about, as a transpareny proxy should forward the announce requests from the same IP as your browser downloads from.

What's with comic downloads being in some unreadable format that can't be opened with adobe or any image editor?

Gross.
Comic Display is the only way to view comics.

1) So does windows, it's called "Maximize"
2) It's not kickass, it's stupid.
And I've read my copy of KC so many times that the cover is frayed around the edges and falling apart. If any comic can be used to campaign to have comic books recognized as literary works, it is Kingdom Come.
Maximize never seems to work properly when Im using winXP and trying to view comics mara, cbz does :-/

That truly is the best comics ever made. I'm not a DC fan at all. Never in my life have I read a DC comic for more than a month or two at a time.

I agree. Even though I'm not a DC fan at all, being hardcore Marvel my whole comic reading life, I read this through it's entirety today at Barnes and Noble, and was blown away.
Amazing art and amazing story. Kudos to Art Ross.
But it was too short! TOO SHORT!

You want a painted comic? This was one of the first. This was before Marvel's attempt to copy it (that Marvel X thing), and all the huge prestige format poster book stories. This was the first. The four-issue run was an experiment.
The other thing is that you weren't supposed to know everything that went on. Keep in mind that not once in the comic do you see a thought bubble. You're seeing the story from the point of view of a mortal man, plagued by apocalyptic premonitions. Most comics are written in a sort of third person pseudo-omniscient point of view, where you can read the internal dialogue of people with a thought balloon. In this story you're first person. You know what Norman is thinking, but that's because it's his point of view. It very much invokes the rules of the Realist literary movement, applied to the fantastic. Norman isn't privy to everything, therefore you aren't either.
And I agree completely with Snoota. I could make a whole research paper out of comic books as literature based solely on Kingdom Come and without invoking my massive knowledge of comic books. It was that powerful.
One of my favorite lines comes at the end of the third book of Kingdom Come, when Superman is rushing to keep the riot in the Gulag from getting out of control. The description of how fast he's going, the desperation he feels...It ends with Captain Marvel standing over him, but to see Superman that...desperate, that...afraid...that sent shivers down my spine, largely in part because they had portrayed him as this bigger-than-man character through the whole thing.
On a completely side note, if Dark Knight Returns and Dark Knight Strikes Back are the magnum opus works of Batman, I could make an argument that Kingdom Come is the magnum opus work for Superman.

I thought Marvels came first, then Ruins(both for Marvel) then Kingdom Come, and then Earth X, which is the KC knock off you described.
I know Ruins came before KC, as I have a copy of the first issue here(Well, I think. I just realized I'm basing my "knowing" off my copy of the collected KC single book! Snoota fucked around with this message on 10-21-2004 at 02:22 PM.
), but I'm not sure about Marvels because I never read it and it's impossible to search for on google because it just brings up Marvel instead of Marvels.

What's the deal with the Flash through the whole thing?
It is belived that it is Wally West but through the speed force he absorbed the peronas of the first two flashes *Jay Garrick and Barry Allen* to become the ultimate force of speed, basicly he is always in a state of motiona nd is vibrating so fast that he is actually moving through dimmensions which is why he has that blury after image effect. I hope I got that right, if not I know Deth will be on my case

While he posses incredible speed, its all he really has and try as he might, he can't be everywhere at once* for instance he could only save so many people at the statue of libirty incident in the book and needed other heroes like GL to take care of the rest* Vise the Stompy fucked around with this message on 10-21-2004 at 04:13 PM.

Yeah lots of people can take out superman if they prepare right. Now here is a shocker. Batman is not Infallible.
