Irredeemable #18

In "Irredeemable [Chapter 18]," the Plutonian faces off against Modeus in a moment that tests the limits of power and consequence. Through a haunting recording, the late Hornet reveals the truth behind his decision to send the alien Vespa away—and why that choice might be the key to what comes next. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Peter Krause, with colors by Andrew Dalhouse and letters by Ed Dukeshire, the issue's tension builds with quiet dread, all framed by Dan Panosian’s striking cover.
