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.

The Plutonian holds a press conference on the White House lawn to introduce the costumed crimefighters and their union as The Paradigm. Four years later, Charybdis moves to eliminate Encanta, but Qubit intercedes and brings her to a safe house where he compels her to reveal her last interaction with Modeus. The US military brass institutes Project Ultimatum, summoning an as-yet-unnamed creature as a fail-safe against Earth's rogue superhumans. Charybdis informs a small news crew that he will now be known as The Survivor and that The Paradigm will take The Plutonian down.
