Irredeemable #9

In "Irredeemable [Part 9]," the Plutonian’s reign reaches a new peak as he stages a press conference on the White House lawn to unveil The Paradigm—a union of costumed crimefighters forged in the wake of his descent. Four years later, as Charybdis declares himself The Survivor and vows to bring down the Plutonian, Qubit races to protect Encanta, forcing her to confront her final moments with Modeus. Meanwhile, the military prepares Project Ultimatum, calling forth 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 cover by Javier Pulido captures the tension of a world on the brink.
