The entire storyline was later collected into a trade paperback. The storyline extended into one-shot books entitled New Year's Evil: Gog, The Kingdom: Kid Flash, The Kingdom: Nightstar, The Kingdom: Offspring, The Kingdom: Planet Krypton and The Kingdom: Son of the Bat. Both books form an Elseworlds saga, as they are abstracted from official DC Comics continuity. It is both a sequel and, in some ways, a prequel (possibly sequel ) to Kingdom Come, which Waid co-wrote with Alex Ross. The story arc was written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Ariel Olivetti and Mike Zeck. The Kingdom is a story arc consisting of a two-issue, self-titled comic book limited series and multiple one-shot comics published by DC Comics in 1999.
