Above KC? A ton:
American Splendor
Promothea
Love and Rockets
Transmetropolitan
Moore's run Swamp Thing
The Invisibles
Morrison JLA
Dark Knight Returns
Ennis/Ellis/Diggle/Carey runs on Hellblazer
Sandman
Shade, the Changing Man
League of Extraordinary Gentleman
Zenith
Authority
Planetary
Flex Mentallo
Top Ten
Doom Patrol
Dark Knight Returns
To Hell and Back: A Sin City Love Story
... and a lot more.
I would consider all of those to be better comics, in nearly all regards, than Kingdom Come.
And while I recognize the aesthetics behind Ross' art and I do like Waid's writing a hell of a lot (except for X😮 Man of War), KC just didn't really do it for me.
There's something about the highly stylized, "I'm so epic" feel of Ross' artwork that's just kind of off-putting. To be honest, I preferred what he did in Justice.
I'm not saying Kingdom Come wasn't good, and I'm not deriding people who liked it. It's just not really for me.

All the titles you listed are good // but personally, I would put KC above a few of them. srug
Again,
it just comes down to what each individual person enjoys reading more.
Originally posted by Galan007All Star Superman is incredible as well. Needless to say i could collect both titles till the end of time and be happy with it. Which is probably how long it will take both titles to get out their next issue.
Meh,
It's been okay..As far as the "All-Star" Universe is concerned -- A/S Superman has been the 'go to', imo.
They tried to differential 'All Star' DC from "Ultimate" Marvel, but it's easy to see the resemblence -- the shipping schedule.
