In the near-future world of Kingdom Come, superheroes are ubiquitous, but heroism is rare. After decades as Earth's champions, the members of the Justice League have all retreated out of the public eye, replaced with a new generation of crime-fighters whose brand of justice leaves humanity terrified, rather than inspired.

Reviews for Kingdom Come (GN) (DC Black Label Edition)

Waid's charged dialogue and Ross' stunning visual realism expose the genius, pride, fears and foibles of DC's heroes and villains. --Wasington Post An older Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman compellingly face a future where heroism has gone darkly, violently wrong. Ross' painted, hyper-realistic visuals may be the most awe-inspiring in modern comics. --Booklist Waid's writing has depth, emotion, and power; Ross's extraordinary painted artwork is masterful, realistic, and beautiful; and the story has resonance both biblical and mythical. No library should be without some edition of this book. --Library Journal, Starred Review One of the best comic stories ever told. --Washington Examiner
