Posted on by

Press Release

BOOM! Studios proudly announced today that IRREDEEMABLE #6 has completely sold out — after only one day.

Fans should keep in mind, while Diamond Comic Distributors is completely sold out of IRREDEEMABLE #6, the first printing may still be available from retailers across the country.

Diamond Comic Distributors is making the second printing of IRREDEEMABLE #6 available for retailers to order immediately with the item code of JUL098277.

Continuing an upward trajectory, IRREDEEMABLE #6 garnered more orders than even the first issue. Even so, demand for the latest issue has outpaced expectations. BOOM! Studios most recently released the IRREDEEMABLE Vol. 1 trade paperback for the special price of $9.99 on the same day as IRREDEEMABLE #5 hit store shelves for the introductory price of 99 cents.

Mark Waid’s Irredeemable Trailer Provides Sneak Peek

Posted on by

BOOM! Studios has released a teaser trailer to Mark Waid’s brand new superhero series, Irredeemable.  The first issue arrives in April.

“In superhero comics, pretty much everyone who’s called upon to put on a cape is, at heart, emotionally equipped for the job. I reject that premise,” said series writer and BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. “IRREDEEMABLE is, in a way, my third and most complex chapter on the cost of superheroics – a pulp adventure tale of horror exploring how the lessons we learn about right and wrong as children can become warped and twisted when challenged by the realities of the adult world.”

Take the jump for a sneak peek of the issue.
