About the series
In 1997, DC Comics published Kingdom Come, a landmark four-issue prestige format miniseries from writer Mark Waid and painter Alex Ross. Set in a possible future, it presents a world where a new generation of violent, amoral superheroes has replaced the classic icons, forcing the Justice League to return from retirement. Ross’s lush, photorealistic painted art and Waid’s epic, morally complex story created a defining meditation on legacy, responsibility, and the very nature of heroism. The series remains a touchstone for its stunning visuals and its thoughtful, adult treatment of the superhero mythos.
