The finale is here! Whether or not you’ve stuck with this series in the long run, if you started it and dropped it part-way through, you ABSOLUTELY should pick this issue up. This is the perfect conclusion to the Mark Waid-penned series, ending in a way that was both unexpected yet, in retrospect, was foreshadowed in some particularly devious and meta ways.
The final issue of Mark Waid’s Irredeemable arrives in stores today, and we’ve got a sneak peek that you can check out, before heading out to your local comic book shop.
Or – “How The Plutonian Got His Groove Back…”
The whole planet has gone to Aitch-Ee-Double-Hockeysticks in a handcart, and the few remaining heroes still haven’t dealt with the threat of the returned Plutonian. Is there any hope for the world?
Newsarama has an interesting interview with Mark Waid, where the scribe reveals that he is ending his popular Irredeemable and Incorruptible series from BOOM! Studios in May 2012.
As you may notice in my review of Incorruptible #26, I’m a bit concerned over the nature of the crossover, which sparked a debate with my local comic book guy.
This stands as the final issue of the “Crossover that Wasn’t” as the conclusion of Irredeemable #33 is patently ignored and instead we’re treated to yet another issue of (admittedly good) exploration of the linked origin of Max Damage and the Plutonian.
The Plutonian faces off against his most powerful foes yet–his parents–as we finally get a brief taste of crossover in this issue, part three of the four issue Irredeemable/Incorruptible crossover!
