When comic book artist Alex Ross was working on Marvels, published in 1994, he decided to create a similar "grand opus" about characters from DC Comics. The previous regime of heroes-the Justice League-returns under dire circumstances, which sets up a battle of the old guard against these uncompromising protectors in a conflict that will define what heroism truly is and determine the future of the planet. The new generation of heroes have lost their moral compass, becoming as reckless and violent as the villains they fight.
The story is set in an alternate future of the DC Universe. It was written by Mark Waid and Alex Ross and painted in gouache by Ross, who also developed the concept from an original idea. Kingdom Come is a four-issue comic book miniseries published in 1996 by DC Comics under their Elseworlds imprint. Cover to the original trade paperback edition (1997).
