Irredeemable #4
In "Hornet," Mark Waid and Paul Azaceta deliver a tense, character-driven chapter of Irredeemable, where a newly minted hero's fragile alliance with the world's first superhero, The Plutonian, begins to fracture. As The Hornet launches Vesper One, pursued by the very man he once called a friend, the weight of legacy and isolation presses in—especially when a past moment of hope, a shared rescue, now feels like a turning point too far gone. The cover by ChrisCross captures the moment with sharp, haunting detail.
