Irredeemable #3
This volume collects issues #9-12 of Mark Waid's acclaimed superhero deconstruction series. As the Plutonian's rampage continues, the surviving heroes face impossible choices and moral compromises in their desperate fight to stop their former ally. The story deepens the exploration of what happens when the world's greatest protector becomes its most terrifying threat.
In "Chapter 9" of Irredeemable, the Plutonian’s grand experiment reaches a new stage as he unveils The Paradigm—a union of costumed heroes—on the White House lawn, setting the stage for a fractured world. Four years later, as Charybdis declares himself The Survivor and vows to dismantle The Paradigm, Qubit races to protect Encanta, forcing her to confront a hidden memory tied to Modeus. Meanwhile, the U.S. military activates Project Ultimatum, summoning an unknown force to counter Earth’s rogue superhumans. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Peter Krause, with colors by Andrew Dalhouse and letters by Ed Dukeshire, the issue’s cover by Barry Kitson captures the moment the world tilts toward chaos.
In the wake of the Plutonian’s public unveiling of The Paradigm, tensions escalate as Charybdis targets Encanta—only for Qubit to pull her to safety and press her for answers about her final contact with Modeus. With the military launching Project Ultimatum and summoning a mysterious force to counter rogue heroes, Charybdis declares himself The Survivor, setting his sights on bringing down The Paradigm and the fallen god they once served.
In "Chapter 10" from *Irredeemable* #3, Jo confronts Bette Noir about her past with The Plutonian, their tense exchange cut short by the arrival of the alien hunter Orian. Meanwhile, Tony shares a painful memory from his childhood with Samsara, revealing the roots of his deep-seated fear of guns.
In "Chapter 11" from Irredeemable #3, Bette Noir shares a private moment with Orian, revealing a past encounter with The Plutonian that defied his overwhelming power. Meanwhile, Modeus—posing as Samsara—is brought by "Tony" to meet his first foster family, the Daniels, while The Paradigm closes in on Orian at a military base.
In this gripping 15-page preview from *Irredeemable* #3, America’s Foremost Detective Catherine Allingham—grappling with a terminal illness and the possibility that her visions are slipping into delusion—hires a sharp-eyed bouncer as her assistant for a desperate journey to Austria. There, she seeks answers about a mysterious machine built to measure the human soul, a quest that may be her final chance to prove she’s still seeing the truth.
