At 99 cents this comic is probably the greatest investment you can make in entertainment. The art is not amazing, but its the same kind of art we all grew up reading in comics, assuming you're not a 12 year old. The faces are easily distinguishable, and with the storyline the facial expressions and suttleties of movement in the characters become even more important. This is where the art shines.
Irredeemable follows a completely new Universe's version of Superman, the Plutonian, as he continues his march of insanity. Killing people and hunting down his former allies as the non-superpowered world jockeys to satiate him make this book unlike anything I've ever read. Since the story going on right now is all centered on the violence that the Plutonian creates, and how his former teammates are trying to stop him, the backstory is what is slowly revealed. The reader can only sit back in horror as the Plutonian destroys places like Singapore and wonder what could push a man who did so much good over the edge. I am not a fan of suspense in any of its forms, but somehow this book keeps me coming back and loving every minute! Because this comic has no universe's characters ANYTHING can happen, and it has become apparent that some heroes have acted less than heroic and it has led in part to the fall of Plutonian. You're forced to wonder if the remaining heroes, the Paradigm, will be able succeed despite themselves before the Plutonian destroys the world.
Mark Waid has outdone himself on this one, and my only hope is that the book does not become so popular he is forced to add in more threads into the storyline to keep it going past his original ideas.
Through a brilliant marketing strategy the first trade, which contains issues 1-4, came out this week as well, and at just over $10, this issue and that trade are a MUST HAVE!
Art: 5 - Excellent
