Product Description The stunning 20th anniversary hardcover edition of writer Mark Waid ( Archie) and artist Alex Ross’ multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning, seminal masterpiece KINGDOM COME is here with more than one hundred pages of sketches, annotations and other extras! 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 harsh justice leaves humanity terrified, rather than inspired. But with the planet’s future in jeopardy, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman must come out of retirement to make one last stand for truth and justice. Collects KINGDOM COME #1-4. Review "One of the best comic stories ever told."--WASHINGTON EXAMINER "With art that looks like a hybrid of Norman Rockwell and Jack Kirby, artist Ross has become the preeminent painter of superheroes of his generation."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY About the Author Born in Hueytown, Alabama, Mark Waid has earned his living as a lounge singer, a magician, a disc jockey, an accountant, and in many other ways, but none of them as eclectic--or fun--as scripting comic books. Waid has written for every major comic publisher, including Marvel Comics, Archie (where he served briefly as their cover-gag editor), Dark Horse, Image, DC Comics and Top Cow. His credits include X-Men, Flash, JLA, Ruse, Fantastic Four, the best-seller Kingdom Come, his creator-owned series Empire, and the Top Cow breakout hit Hunter-Killer.
