Kingdom Come #1

A caped, shadowy central figure dominates Alex Ross's painted cover for this 2021 DC Black Label edition of Mark Waid and Alex Ross's celebrated series, surrounded by a crowded gallery of masked and armored faces — including a harlequin-costumed figure and an array of imposing, battle-worn characters pressing in from every side. The painterly realism Ross brings to the composition gives the whole image a haunting, almost operatic weight. Whether you're revisiting this story or discovering it through this Dark Dragon Books edition, issue #1 makes a striking entry point.
