Kingdom Come was a four-issue limited series published from May until August of 1996 under DC's Elseworlds imprint. Like all Elseworlds, this series was set in an alternate reality outside that of the mainstream DC Universe. The series was written by Mark Waid with fully painted illustrations and covers by Alex Ross. All four issues were collected in both softcover and hardcover editions as well as a slipcase Absolute Edition. The setting for Kingdom Come took place some twenty years into the future of the year that it began publication. The older, more established super-heroes had gone into retirement, giving rise to a new generation of anti-heroes, who did not uphold the same noble values as their predecessors. Waid and Ross wrote Kingdom Come as an indictment against the growing trend of violent anti-hero archetypes that had sprung out of the early 1990s, many of whom were created by DC's independent rival company Image Comics. The reality of Kingdom Come was re-introduced in 2006 as one of fifty-two parallel worlds in the recreated Multiverse. The Kingdom Come reality was designated Earth-22 (albeit with a few minor differences).
