In the definitive collection of the seminal masterpiece "Kingdom Come," comics writer Mark Waid and artist Alex Ross present a near-future world where superheroes are ubiquitous, but genuine heroism is rare. After decades of serving as Earth's champions, the members of the Justice League have all retreated from the public eye, replaced by a new generation of crime-fighters whose brand of justice leaves humanity terrified, rather than inspired.
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. The story unfolds as these iconic heroes confront the grim realities of a world where their legacy has been tarnished and their values have been twisted beyond recognition.
The collection features more than 100 pages of sketches, annotations, and other behind-the-scenes features, providing readers with a unique insight into the creative process behind this groundbreaking work. Readers are invited to delve into the intricate world of Kingdom Come, where the lines between hero and villain are blurred, and the very fabric of society hangs in the balance.
Through Waid's masterful storytelling and Ross's stunning artwork, the collection explores themes of power, responsibility, and the consequences of our actions, challenging readers to confront the complex moral dilemmas that arise when the pursuit of justice becomes tainted by personal agendas and political interests.
In a world where the ideals of heroism have been compromised, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman must rediscover the true meaning of their roles as champions of justice, and in doing so, inspire a new generation to take up the mantle of heroism and defend the world from the forces that threaten to tear it apart.
The definitive collection of Kingdom Come offers a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of the superhero genre, blending classic comic book tropes with contemporary social and political commentary. Fans of the genre and casual readers alike will be drawn into the rich tapestry of this seminal work, which continues to resonate with audiences long after the final page is turned.
