1) This new guy who the government has brought forth to capture Tony: he is an alien demon hunter. But there is nothing very new anymore and I really need this series to get moving.įurthermore, a few things downright bothered me. Don’t get me wrong, it is great set up, and all the small cliff-hangers at the end of each issue were awesome. It is still pretty much set up for something. The feeling that I had after reading this volume was: is that all? Nothing REALLY happens. But not as creepy as finally figuring out exactly where Modeus – his arch-enemy – has been hiding. And then, there is Cary, the guy who beat the Plutonian to a pulp and who seems to be getting way creepy. We get to learn more about the other supes, as well as being introduced to a new character, brought forth by the Government in an attempt to stop the Plutonian, since the Paradigm doesn’t seem to be doing that much. In this volume, we learn more about Tony/The Plutonian’s childhood and about how The Paradigm, the group of superheroes led by him only recently came to be together. Weeks I have waited with bated breath for this and when it finally landed on my doorstep two days ago, I whooped. Needless to say, I had been waiting anxiously for this third volume to finally arrive in the UK. Especially because the premise is based on the idea that a super being is necessarily equipped with the right psyche to be a super hero. The premise of this series is one that appeals to me as a reader and reading about the fear felt, the terror spread when the world’s greatest superhero turns its greatest villain has been a great journey. I fell head over heels in love with Irredeemable after reading Volume 1, a feeling that only grew considerably with the incredible second volume.

Why did I read this book: I LOVE this series since discovering it early this year. Have the Paradigm unleashed something they cannot control? Collects issues #9-12 of Mark Waid’s superhero epic.
