1. STRANGE VISITOR
This is arguably the greatest Elseworlds tale ever told. Kingdom Come, replete with grand storytelling and biblical prophecy, takes place in the near future when Superman has retired and a new, ruthlessly violent generation of "heroes" has corrupted the Earth, their questionable deeds culminating in the destruction of Kansas.
2. TRUTH AND JUSTICE
Superman, now out of retirement, inspires fellow super-heroes Green Lantern, Hawkman, and others to appear before the public and announce their return from self-imposed exile. Batman, Green Arrow, and others refuse to join Superman and form an allegiance with Lex Luthor.
3. UP IN THE SKY
A war is brewing! The Gulag, which is a prison that houses super-powered villains, is on the verge of bursting open at the seams, and the heroes must act.
4. NEVER-ENDING BATTLE
A possessed (by Lex Luthor) Captain Marvel battles Superman, and the world is at war. Wonder Woman and the other classic heroes must reclaim the world from the new, ruthlessly violent generation of anti-heroes. Thus concludes Kingdom Come, arguably the greatest Elseworlds tale ever told.
