Description
Graphic novels to read anywhere - DC Compact Comics collect DC's bestselling, most iconic stories in a new size!
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.
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... setting the stage for a conflict that will define what heroism truly is.
Winner of five Eisner and Harvey awards, Kingdom Come is the best-selling graphic novel from acclaimed writer Mark Waid and superstar painter Alex Ross!
