Kingdom Come

Set in the not so distant future, Batman is retired, Superman is in a self-imposed exile and the rest of the Justice League nowhere to be found, it seems that all hope is lost. The DC Universe is spinning inexorably out of control. The new generation of heroes has lost their moral compass, becoming just as reckless and violent as the villains they fight. But not for long. Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s generational masterwork is now released as a part of DC’s prestigious new imprint of standalone graphic novels, DC Black Label.

In the near-future world of Kingdom Come, superheroes are ubiquitous, but heroism is rare. After decades as Earth’s champions, the members of the Justice League have all retreated out of the public eye, replaced with a new generation of crime-fighters whose brand of justice leaves humanity terrified, rather than inspired. But with the planet’s future in jeopardy, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman must come out of retirement to make one last stand for truth and justice…

From comics writer Mark Waid and artist Alex Ross comes this definitive collection of the seminal masterpiece Kingdom Come, with more than 100 pages of sketches, annotations and other behind-the-scenes features.
