Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
"Set in the not-so-distant future, the DC Universe is spinning inexorably out of control. The new generation of heroes has lost their moral compass, becoming just as reckless and violent as the villains they fight. The previous regime of heroes--the Justice League--returns under the most dire of circumstances, setting up a battle of the old guard against these uncompromising protectors in a battle that will define what heroism truly is"-- Provided by publisher.
