About this Collection

This landmark 1997 DC Elseworlds miniseries, written by Mark Waid with painted artwork by Alex Ross, presents a dystopian future where the classic superheroes of the Justice League have been replaced by a younger, more violent generation. The story follows an aging Superman returning from self-imposed exile to confront the chaos, leading to a climactic battle that questions the very nature of heroism. This collected edition gathers all four issues of the original series, plus a sketchbook section and the epilogue story from Kingdom Come: The Kingdom #1.

In "Chapter One: Strange Visitor," a world long abandoned by its greatest heroes faces a new reckoning as the legacy of the Justice League fractures. With Superman gone and the old guard withdrawn, a new generation of power-hungry metahumans threatens to unravel civilization—leaving one enigmatic figure to confront the impossible question of how to stop those who cannot be stopped. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life in breathtaking detail by Alex Ross, whose distinctive art defines the entire series, this issue sets the stage for a story where ideals clash and the cost of heroism is measured in sacrifice. The cover by Alex Ross captures the haunting presence of the stranger at the heart of it all.

In "Chapter One: Strange Visitor" from *Kingdom Come* (1997), a world abandoned by its heroes watches as a new generation of superpowered figures rises—unrestrained, unpredictable, and dangerously out of control. With the old guard vanished, the question isn't who will step in, but what it will cost to bring them back.

In "Chapter Two: Truth and Justice" from Kingdom Come, Superman’s absence has left humanity vulnerable as a new generation of heroes spirals beyond restraint.

In "Chapter Three: Up in the Sky," Superman's absence has left the world without its guiding light, and the Justice League has retreated into isolation—until the new generation of heroes spirals beyond control. With no one left to rein them in, the question isn’t who will stop them, but what it will cost to bring them back down to earth.

In "Chapter Four: Never-Ending Battle" from *Kingdom Come*, Superman’s absence has left a void, and with the Justice League scattered, the weight of stopping the new generation’s unchecked power falls on the few who remain. As the line between protector and threat blurs, one hero must face the impossible: how do you reign in forces that defy control, when even the idea of peace has become a relic?
