  19. edward says:
    August 4, 2009 at 1:07 am

    @vadamowens: yep, i saw it. it was very funny.

    here’s another funny thing; i made a mistake in a differient thread when responsing to peterporker that he hasn’t caught on to yet

    Can’t beat that price.

    Will be catching up with this series, with this & the $9.99 trade. Great value & great idea, you gotta support that! But, knowing my luck, my LCS wont have the trade … or this issue. lol.

  22. robbydzwonar robbydzwonar says:
    August 4, 2009 at 4:31 am

    I wish all my issues were 99 cents.  I’d really have something going on then.

    This might even be my pick of the week, unless Final Crisis Aftermath RUN! really cracks me up.

  23. Noto Noto says:
    August 4, 2009 at 6:11 am

    All of my books were 99 cents once. In 1988-1990.

    Is this the one where "Superman" has already turned evil? Or is it the otherone where you’re not sure if he’s good/evil.

    Is it worth a look?

  25. s1lentslayer s1lentslayer says:

    If you don’t pull this I will have to assume you also eat babies.

  26. leonard leonard says:
    August 4, 2009 at 9:08 am

    @Zeppo – its worth a look. This book has potential and its been really fun so far.

  27. Peterkrause says:
    August 4, 2009 at 10:20 am

    Zeppo,

    Oh, he’s already turned.

    Glad to see edward in the house!  Woot! 

  28. AmirCat AmirCat says:
    August 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    I would love it if the ending is totally anticlimactic where he destroys the world and he is all alone and  there is no point to the story.

  29. AmirCat AmirCat says:

    jk

  30. yetihands yetihands says:

    like the story, but can’t get down with the art.  no offense krause, just not my style.

  31. kwisdumb kwisdumb says:
    August 4, 2009 at 3:06 pm

    Wow, what a great move by introducing a new arc with a $.99 issue. And a $10.00 trade! I’ve enjoyed this book and it seems to have a lot of popularity, but I think if they keep up with this format, it could really be a monumental hit. Jeebus. Super excited.

  32. Zeppo Zeppo says:
    August 4, 2009 at 3:32 pm

    Thanks guys

  33. Peterkrause says:
    August 4, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    yetihands,

    No offense taken.  Seriously, I’m pretty hard on myself with the drawing, and I continue to try to improve.

    I’d actually be a bit nervous if everybody liked it.  Then I’d KNOW something was wrong! 

  34. vadamowens vadamowens says:
    August 4, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    It’s cool how so many more people are talking about this series now.  i’m glad it’s catching on!!!

  35. robbydzwonar robbydzwonar says:
    August 4, 2009 at 7:59 pm

    I am so pumped for this!!  YES!!

  36. miyamotofreak miyamotofreak says:
    August 4, 2009 at 9:14 pm

    I personally find the art very bland. Maybe additional rendering or a different colouring scheme would help.

  37. TheNextChampion TheNextChampion says:
    August 4, 2009 at 11:25 pm

    I just like the idea of PeterKrause coming in here and reading the comments. It’s like:

    "Oh wow, these guys really love the comic I work on. It’s been a big deal on ifanboy for months now. Let me go straighten my tie and read more of these delightful comments"

    and then he gets to this discussion :)

  38. edward says:
    August 5, 2009 at 12:19 am

    so we have to censor every thread just in case a creator decides to google himself ?

  39. Peterkrause says:
    August 5, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    Thanks for the enthusiasm, all.

    And while it may be bad form to talk about issue #6 when #5 is just out, I will say the art gets a bit "bigger" next issue.  I tried to push the dynamic a bit more, and the script does have more action.  miyamotofreak, you can tell me what you think about it next month! 

    I’m just happy you all care so much….*sob*…makes me a bit weepy. 

  40. Peterkrause says:
    August 5, 2009 at 2:31 pm

    ….that said, my stuff is very informed by the Silver Age of comics.  I’ll always be closer in taste to Curt Swan than say, Mike Turner (for example).

    this is hands down my absolute favorite book right now. I can’t wait for each isseue and every time it’s the first book I read

  42. SteenAR SteenAR says:
    August 5, 2009 at 6:41 pm

    question!!! I was unable to get the trade of the first 4 (my store continually is missing issue 1). Is it safe for me to start here then go back and read the first 4 when I’m able to get all of them?

  43. Peterkrause says:
    August 5, 2009 at 6:50 pm

    SteenAR,

    If your LCS is out of the trade, you can order the book directly from the BOOM! website (boom-studios.net).

    It’s listed under the "Series" category, then click on the Irredeemable cover. 

    Hate to have anyone miss this that wants to read the book. 

  44. SteenAR SteenAR says:
    August 6, 2009 at 12:12 am

    thanks Peter

    I bought this issue and really want to read it but I’m afraid I won’t know what’s going on. is it safe for me to read it? 

  45. Noto Noto says:
    August 6, 2009 at 1:10 am

    It’s highly likely that this will be my POTW. It’s simply the best comic I’ve read and it has always been the first on my stack to read.

  46. DenverDave DenverDave says:
    August 6, 2009 at 1:21 am

    @peterkrauss, thanks dude. I went to two LCS and niether had any copies left!

  47. BrianBaer BrianBaer says:
    August 6, 2009 at 9:55 am

    I’m waiting to finish the first trade before I read this issue. I bought them both yesterday.

    And for the record, the art is amazing!

  48. SirCox SirCox says:
    August 6, 2009 at 10:26 am

    I also am really enjoying this book and I think the art is great!

  49. bansidhewail bansidhewail says:
    August 6, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    Anyone who may be wondering…

    this is a perfect jumping on point to a great series that keeps getting better!

    Killer issue!

  50. JesseG JesseG says:
    August 6, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    This is really turning into something. Each issue reaffirms it for me. There hasn’t been a bad one yet and the Plutonian is becoming one of the most interesting/scary villains around.

  51. crazychris crazychris says:
    August 6, 2009 at 11:26 pm

    Just jumped on w/ the trade and issue #5. very cool book.

  52. kwisdumb kwisdumb says:
    August 7, 2009 at 11:23 am

    I thought this was the weakest of the series thus far. The art wasn’t the greatest it’s been, and although some pretty important stuff seemed to happen, it didn’t connect with me much. I’m excited for where we’re at now, with the Morpheusbots and I’m interested in seeing what Bette’s role in all of this is. That first bit with the Plutonian answer the "viewing mail" was insane, as well. Great concept. I’ll go with 3/5 on this, it wasn’t stellar but was definitely a good, solid issue. Major props for the price too.

  53. emacor72 emacor72 says:

    This issue was really good, art and story. Should of been POTW.

  54. Urthona Urthona says:

    Loving Irredeemable.  Five for five the first five issues.  This just seems really well thought out, and there is just the right balance between complexity/simplicity in the storyline.  I like the art too…storytelling is never a problem.
