30 years ago, one of the most important superhero comics in modern history began: DC Comics' Kingdom Come by Alex Ross and Mark Waid. While a non-continuity tale at the time, this story of a superhero apocalypse was painted like scripture, showing a place where heroes could grow old like their readers, while also dealing with the inevitable tides of change and a new generation of heroes.  The 4-issue series madesuperstars out of both Ross and Waid that still lasts to this day, with Waid now writer on DC's main Justice League title and Ross the artist/writer of another story of superhero change in the Marvel Dimensions OGN. 

... but, with the 30th anniversary of Kingdom Come here, will there come a time for the two to return to this world? We recently spoke with Ross about Marvel Dimensions, and you better believe we snuck in a question about it.

"There's something that could happen with that, but I don't want to tease the idea that there's an actual sequel brewing. In a way, I'm giving away too much by even saying I'm sniffing at that world," Ross tells Popverse. "I did do a cover this year for the collected edition; it's coming out for the anniversary, and I also wrote some pieces; both Mark and I wrote some pieces for the book."

Ross also snuck a reference to DC's Kingdom Come in Marvel Dimensions. 

"I even did a parody comic image that appears within Marvel Dimensions which sort of plays on it," Ross told us. "So there are a couple new things for me this year in that."

"But as far as anything else goes, I would, again, try to play coy, which I'm not good at, obviously. This is why I'm not on social media... It's because I talk too much."

Kingdom Come: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is scheduled to be released on November 17.
