Pre-Order 'Kingdom Come: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition' Hardcover

DC Comics has announced the release of 'Kingdom Come: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition' hardcover by Mark Waid (Author) and Alex Ross (Illustrator).

Experience the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning, seminal masterpiece by Waid (The Flash, Superman: Birthright) and Ross (Justice) in this stunning DC Deluxe Edition with sketches, annotations, and more extras!

In 1996, both visionary artists presented a dark glimpse of the future DC Universe, where heroes abounded but acts of heroism were rare.

Set in an alternate future of the DC Universe, "Kingdom Come" explores the growing divide between a generation of traditional heroes and a new breed of increasingly reckless metahumans who have little regard for the ideals that once defined superheroes. At the center of the story is Superman, who has withdrawn from the world following a profound crisis of faith, leaving humanity to face an increasingly dangerous future without one of its greatest protectors.

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?

Originally published as a four-issue limited series, "Kingdom Come" has endured as one of DC's most acclaimed stories, pairing Waid's examination of heroism, responsibility and legacy with Ross' distinctive painted artwork. The story features an expansive cast of DC characters, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and members of the Justice League, while examining what the ideals of an earlier generation of heroes mean in a world that has increasingly moved beyond them.

The 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition celebrates three decades since the landmark story first arrived in 1996, presenting the acclaimed series in a premium hardcover format. In addition to the complete story, the anniversary release features supplementary material including sketches and annotations that offer readers an expanded look at the creation and visual development of Waid and Ross' influential vision of the DC Universe.

'Kingdom Come: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition' hardcover retails for US$39.19 and is currently available of pre-order from Amazon with a scheduled release date of November 17, 2026.
