☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis landmark 1997 DC Elseworlds prestige series, written by Mark Waid with painted artwork by Alex Ross, presents a dystopian future where the next generation of superheroes has lost their moral compass, forcing the aging Justice League to return from retirement. The story explores themes of legacy, responsibility, and the clash between traditional heroism and a more ruthless, modern approach to justice, culminating in a devastating conflict that reshapes the DC Universe. This volume collects the complete four-issue miniseries along with its prologue and behind-the-scenes material.
"Chapter One: Strange Visitor" introduces a world where Superman and the original Justice League have vanished, leaving humanity to fend for itself as a new generation of heroes spirals into chaos. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life with breathtaking detail by Alex Ross—whose work defines the interior art, inks, colors, and letters—this landmark issue sets the stage for a future where legacy and responsibility collide. The cover by Alex Ross captures the haunting arrival of a figure from the past, a silent omen in a world that no longer knows what it means to be saved.
In "Chapter One: Strange Visitor" from Kingdom Come, Superman’s absence has left humanity to fend for itself, and with the old guard of the Justice League gone, a new generation of heroes has risen—unrestrained, unpredictable, and increasingly dangerous. When a mysterious figure arrives with a mission no one expected, the question isn’t whether they can stop the chaos, but what it will cost to bring order back to a world that no longer knows how to ask for help.
In "Chapter Two: Truth and Justice" from *Kingdom Come*, Superman’s absence has left a vacuum, and with the old guard retreating from a world they no longer recognize, a new generation of heroes has risen—unrestrained, unchecked, and dangerously unpredictable. As chaos threatens to consume civilization, the question isn’t who will step forward, but what it will cost to restore order when even the strongest can’t be tamed.
In "Chapter Three: Up in the Sky" from *Kingdom Come*, Superman's absence has left a void as the old guard of the Justice League retreats from humanity, watching from afar as a new generation of heroes spirals beyond control. With the world teetering on the edge of chaos, the question isn't who will step in—but what it will cost to reign in power that no longer answers to restraint.
In "Chapter Four: Never-Ending Battle" from *Kingdom Come*, Superman’s absence has left a vacuum, and with the old guard retreating from humanity, a new generation of heroes threatens to spiral beyond control. As the Justice Leaguers grapple with their legacy, one figure must step forward—not to lead, but to confront the cost of stopping what can’t be tamed.
