Irredeemable #1
In "Irredeemable [Chapter 1]," Mark Waid and Peter Krause launch a gripping tale of cosmic tragedy and fractured heroism, beginning with the sudden, devastating destruction of The Hornet and his family by the enigmatic Plutonian. One week later, the remnants of The Paradigm—now fractured and desperate—recount the origins of their partnership with Tony and Samsara, trying to uncover the truth behind their fallen teammate’s descent. With the Plutonian’s arrival looming, the heroes split up, each chasing shadows in a world unraveling before their eyes. The cover by John Cassaday captures the moment’s eerie stillness, a stark contrast to the chaos within.
