Now imagine as that world grows increasingly darker, extreme, and violent, replacing the heroes of the old with new, more aggressive, and less principled attempts at heroism. A world whose headlines rang out with stories of good triumphing over evil and a world made better thanks to those hard-fought victories. Imagine a world that was once filled with hope and light, where mighty champions fought and sacrificed to make the world a better place for the common person. This moment in history, perhaps more than any other warrants a ( re)visit to the world of Earth-22. Yet, amid all of the chaos and strife that ensue throughout its two hundred-plus pages, all of the turmoil and tragedy, Kingdom Come proves itself to be a story about hope and the belief that the world can always change for the better, as DC stories so often do.
