Kingdom Come
by Elliot S Maggin
THE DREAMER. THE THUNDER. THE BAT. THE EAGLE. THE ANGEL. WHOSE WILL BE DONE?
It’s the early years of the Twenty-First Century. Without the guidance and values long championed by the old guard—Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—a younger generation of super heroes is ravaging the world. But when the Man of Steel returns from self-imposed exile, his very presence could be the catalyst that pushes us all into Armageddon.
Seen through the eyes of Norman McCay, an aging minister who embarks on a disturbing odyssey of revelation with an angel known as the Spectre to guide him, Kingdom Come is the story of what defines a hero in a world spinning inexorably out of control … of the heroes who adapted to that changing world, and those who couldn’t … of personal battles fought with inner demons, and the final war that would determine the fate of our planet.
