Mark Waid, a New York Times best-selling author, has written a wider variety of well-known comics characters than any other American comics author, from Superman to the Justice League to Spider-Man to Archie and hundreds of others. His award-winning graphic novel with artist Alex Ross, Kingdom Come, is one of the best-selling comics collections of all time.
Waid's charged dialogue and Ross' stunning visual realism expose the genius, pride, fears and foibles of DC's heroes and villains. --Wasington Post An older Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman compellingly face a future where heroism has gone darkly, violently wrong. Ross' painted, hyper-realistic visuals may be the most awe-inspiring in modern comics. --Booklist Waid's writing has depth, emotion, and power; Ross's extraordinary painted artwork is masterful, realistic, and beautiful; and the story has resonance both biblical and mythical. No library should be without some edition of this book. --Library Journal, Starred Review One of the best comic stories ever told. --Washington Examiner
