DC’s ‘Kingdom Come’ coming to audiobook this fall
This week, DC and Penguin Random House Audio announced an exciting and upcoming joint project, an audiobook production of Kingdom Come (on sale November 18, 2025; Random House Audio). The critically acclaimed 1996 limited graphic novel series from Mark Waid and Alex Ross has been adapted for audiobook listeners by Dirk Maggs, whose lauded career spans from BBC radio dramas that changed the landscape of the industry to his own comic book audio adaptations. Maggs’s rendition of Kingdom Come will be brought to life with a cast of over thirty actors, supported by original music and sound effects.
“I’ve been adapting and directing multicast, award-winning audiobooks of iconic DC Comics Superman and Batman stories for more than three decades,” says Maggs, “but among them all, Kingdom Come was always the one that got away. At last, thanks to Penguin Random House Audio, I can tell Mark Waid’s epic story, with Alex Ross’s beautiful artwork brought alive through cinematic sound design combined with James Hannigan’s stirring orchestral score.”
This audiobook production in the ongoing collaboration between DC and Penguin Random House Audio succeeds the seminal Superman story with an equally iconic Justice League tale, expanding the audiobook world to introduce voices for Batman and Wonder Woman, among others. Accomplished voice actor Marc Thompson—known for his extensive work with Star Wars audiobooks, in addition to memorable roles with Pokémon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more—will reprise the role of Superman after leading the cast of the June 2025 All-Star Superman audiobook, alongside additional renowned names such as Edoardo Ballerini, Lorelei King, Ray Porter, and more.
Synopsis: In Kingdom Come, we see an alternate future where our heroes have retired, long since withdrawn from the public eye. Yet in their wake, crime is kept at bay by a group who is anything but heroic—whose take on justice renders them as immoral and dangerous as the criminals themselves. Unable to stand aside any longer, Superman and the Justice League return to the fight, reminding the world what justice truly means.
