In 1996, visionary artist Alex Ross and writer Mark Waid presented a dark glimpse of the future DC Universe, where heroes abounded but acts of heroism were rare. When the next generation of metahuman crime-fighters causes a devastating accident resulting in mass civilian casualties, a disillusioned Superman is coaxed out of retirement by Wonder Woman to reform the Justice League. But while the Man of Tomorrow believes that his actions will help avert further destruction, his return puts events into motion that may, in fact, cause the apocalypse. Is the future set in stone, or can the Justice League perform a final courageous act to save the world from itself?

This 30th anniversary deluxe edition of the bestselling graphic novel features an exclusive new cover by Ross, new retrospective afterwords by Ross and Waid, and more!
