Mark Waid writes superhero comics known for close attention to character history, moral choices and the practical consequences of extraordinary powers. Kingdom Come, created with Alex Ross, imagines an older generation of heroes confronting a violent new era of superheroes who have lost the ethical limits associated with figures such as Superman. Waid's long run on The Flash helped define Wally West through stories about speed, legacy and the meaning of inheriting another hero's identity. He has also written Daredevil, Fantastic Four and Irredeemable, which turns the Superman archetype into a much darker story about a world's greatest hero becoming its greatest threat. His work fits superhero comics, legacy storytelling and revisionist superhero fiction. Kingdom Come offers a self-contained overview of his interest in heroism and responsibility, while The Flash shows that approach across a long ongoing series. Read more Less
