Mark Waid
3,258 books1,309 followersMark Waid is an American comic book writer widely known for shaping modern superhero storytelling through influential runs on major characters at both DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Raised in Alabama, he developed an early fascination with comic books, particularly classic stories featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes, whose imaginative scope and sense of legacy would later inform his own writing. He first entered the comics industry during the mid 1980s as an editor and writer for the fan magazine Amazing Heroes, before publishing his first professional comic story in Action Comics. Soon afterward he joined DC Comics as an editor, contributing to numerous titles and helping shape projects across the company. After leaving editorial work to focus on writing, Waid gained widespread recognition with his long run on The Flash, where he expanded the mythology of the character and co-created the youthful speedster Impulse. His reputation grew further with the celebrated graphic novel Kingdom Come, created with artist Alex Ross, which imagined a future DC Universe shaped by generational conflict among superheroes. Over the years he has written many prominent series, including Captain America, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Superman: Birthright, bringing a balance of optimism, character depth, and respect for comic book history to each project. Waid has also collaborated with notable artists and writers on major ensemble titles such as Justice League and Avengers, while contributing ideas that helped clarify complex continuity within shared superhero universes. Beyond mainstream superhero work, he has supported creator owned projects and experimental publishing models, including the acclaimed series Irredeemable and Incorruptible, which explored moral ambiguity within the superhero genre. He later took on editorial leadership roles at Boom Studios, guiding creative direction while continuing to write extensively. In subsequent years he expanded his involvement in publishing and digital storytelling, helping launch online comics initiatives and advocating for new distribution methods for creators. His work has earned numerous industry awards, including Eisner and Harvey honors, reflecting both critical acclaim and enduring popularity among readers. Throughout his career Waid has remained a passionate student of comic book history, drawing on decades of storytelling tradition while continually encouraging innovation within the medium. His influence extends across generations of readers and creators, and his stories continue to shape the evolving language of superhero comics around the world today through enduring characters imaginative narratives and thoughtful reinventions of familiar myths within popular culture and modern graphic storytelling traditions.

Yep, it's a Family Affair.
The part of French the butler will be played by Max Damage.
The part of Mrs. Beasley to be played by Bette Noir.
It’s all about families and kids, as Mark Waid puts his flashback jammies on and takes us back to the first time the Plutonian met Max Damage (from Incorruptible) and how their histories are more intertwined than the reader originally realized. Is this leading to a possible showdown?
Are we there yet?
Probably. Maybe. GAAAAAAAH! We’ll see.
Also revealed: Who the Plutonian’s real Mommy and Daddy are and why he grew up to be a hero and a nutter.
Waid’s picking up the pace again after the last two inert volumes and offers up a few more puzzle pieces to the reader.
Bottom line: With only one volume to go, I’m curious as to how this will resolve itself. What’s going to happen to the remaining Paradigm? Can someone actually take down the Plutonian?
You can’t fool me. Not a “no”, but a “maybe”.

The weakest volume to date. It's a psuedo-crossover with origins for both the Plutonian and Max Damage. The Plutonian's is, of course, insane. Max Damage's is just dumb. I really hope Waid can bring this bird in for a safe landing with the last volume.

After reading Book 9, I think this series should be retitled "Interminable" because it just goes on and on without end! This series should be over by now, there's so little to be said! Gah... yeah I'm gonna groan a lot in this review, this series is broken and I want to move on.
So this book explores Plutonian's creation, who he is, how he came to be, who his parents are. It sounds promising until you're actually told and it becomes so weird and abstract that even Grant Morrison might stop and wonder what the hell's going on.
I've read the creation sequence 3 times now and I'm still not entirely sure what's going on. It reads like something Tom Cruise would believe in. The two aliens who've been trapped by man-made radiation, came from a far off race who studied everything. They came to Earth, creating an orb of energy that would mimic humanity's attributes and, presumably, go back to the aliens with that information. And this orb was drawn to an insane woman who'd recently murdered her child and then took the form of a child and thus the woman's insanity was imprinted upon the child and his alien DNA gave him the powers... I give up. This is such a convoluted creation mythos, and at this point I just don't care.
Following the pattern of the last few books, Mark Waid introduces YET ANOTHER new character to the story. This is the penultimate book in the series and he's still avoiding the main players in the series to draw focus on someone else. It's so frustrating because he's always moving away from the main story to examine another side story that leads nowhere.
So we're introduced to the campily named "Max Power" - oh wait, that was Homer Simpson's fake name in one episode. No, this dude is called Max Damage. Yeah that's... cooler. Ugh. Anyway, he's the main character in Waid's other series "Incorruptible" and I suppose by shoe-horning him into "Irredeemable" which is ending, Waid expects to funnel the readers of this title into the other on-going series? Well it didn't work on this reader. Max Damage is a tool, pure and simple, whose story intertwines with Plutonian's in such a forced way. His appearance in this book was utterly pointless.
And then it ends with
Ok, one more book to go and I'm done, but I'm very disappointed with this book and how this series has dovetailed from Book 5 onwards. It started well but it's now going down fast. Book 9 is for people like me who've booked passage on Titanic and can't leave because the iceberg is just ahead of us and we’re resigned to our fates. Everyone else, save yourselves!

Bullet Review:
Not going to lie, this feels almost like a completely different story. I felt that Plutonian's backstory had been rewritten to shoehorn in Max Damage, a rather dull, stereotypical "Bad Boy with a Grudge". Gone are Qibit, Kaidan, Bette Noir and Gilgamos; we just abandoned the Survivor storyline we left off on the previous volume either because Waid didn't know how to end this series or he grew bored with what he had.
People warned me that this series started strong and ended weak; they were right. I'll finish this off, because I've come this far and I am intrigued how it ends, but this was definitely not what I expected given the first few volumes.

That writer and creator Mark Waid chose to crossover his two titles published by Boom! was expected. What was unexpected was really how flat the trade read. This trade combines issues from both series Irredeemable and Incorruptible)and this time I think it would have read better as separate trades.
We do get The Plutonian and Max Damage's origins and why they can't hate each other. But, for me it fell flat. What does work is giving the reader a base for 1) why The Plutonian snapped (not an excuse but a base understanding) and 2) why Max hates him.

A better volume. Interesting even. Im still ready for the series to be done but this was a plus volume for the series.
June 12, 2016
Believe or not this one wasn't as bad as the last few.
So we get a lot of background in this one. We get to learn in detail all about Pluto, really get deep into when he was born, and how he became who he was. You get to see this damaged person, creature, god, whatever, and actually understand him. Not agree, of course, he killed millions, but understand him. That's important.
The other half of this is to do with Max someshit, spin-off series of this, that I give two shits about. A lot of wasted time on that and made me just want to skip right past his upbringing cause it really didn't seem interesting (or important)
Venturing into the final one I hope for good things, but expect the worst. Prove me wrong Waid, PROVE ME WRONG.

A slight improvement over the past few collections, but still, this comic petered out a long time ago...

Probably the weakest volume so far
August 30, 2013
This is a crossover issue, and really encompasses both Tony/Plutonian and Max Damage (Incorruptible).
This is the most crucial Volume of the entire collection (both collections actually). This explores both Max and Tony's intertwined origins, and gives us answers as to how both men ended up how they did, and how it wasn't all that farfetched for both men to switch roles (Tony hero to villain and Max villain to hero).
This made so much sense, and really explained enough to me. I also enjoyed it the most of any I think.
I think they could have ended both series' here if they had liked, and I would have accepted what happened as being good endings for both, but they kept it going.
So much of what made Max and Tony into themselves is here for us to finally read, and yes, nurture has plenty more to do with it than nature.
Just a fantastic book, I feel the height of the entire run for Waid.

One of the better arcs.
World: The art just good. I do tend to enjoy the art in Incorruptible more but that's just a personal preference. The world building this time around is much better. It's more focused and feeds into the main tale.
Story: Strong and we'll paced. The mirroring of the two characters were done well and it gave the story an interesting framing style. The story is focused and sets up wonderfully what happens next. The scope is large and intimate at the same time.
Characters: Both Tony and Max had some wonderful character development this arc. Substantial and character affirming. The direction the book went with Tony is expected but also very well presented and tragic. The rest of the cast is missing because this book was so laser focused on the two and it made for a good read.
Interesting take and we'll written, this arc brings momentum back to the series as it heads to the end.
Onward to the next book!

A cleverly criss-crossing set of origin stories that does a great job of explaining who these two people are, and what's brought them to the position of becoming Irredeemable and Incorruptible. Overall, a terrific and surprising character piece.

Still don’t know what I think about this book. And this random crossover didn’t help. Wondering how this all ties up at the end. Well on to volume 10

It's time to wrap this one up, Waid.

SPOILER ALERT
I love the idea of a normal being wanting superpowers to expose the superhero as a monster. I mean, yeah Evan had a whole bunch of issues growing up, but one could say it stemmed from him being attacked by a pre-Plutonian child. Evan made the decision to continue down the self-absorbed survival road, but then realized he had a responsibility to expose the Plutonian for being the wolf-boy that plagued his neighborhood decades before. As Max Damage, maybe the truth would finally be presented, before the hero finally snapped. On the same note, Plutonian could have finally snapped because he was constantly reminded of what he was when his fear and rage ruled.
Great writing!
Lastly, love how Plutonian tried to play the Eleos, but they were still like "you must be punished" and sent him back to the end of time. But what the heck Qubit??? I am at the point where Plutonian gets no more chances. He either goes to jail for 3 million consecutive life sentences or he stays at the end of time. It does not matter if he finally feels bad for what he had done; I think the judicial penal system is full of remorseful criminals. I am all about forgiveness, I am. But forgiveness does not replace justice or discipline or punishment. Plutonian can't just come back from mass murder and be a hero again. I can't wait to find out what Qubit is doing.

Man, this was really disappointing. The cliffhanger at the end of volume 8 really had me psyched to see what the two uberbeings would reveal. And that part of the narrative is not too bad.
But after reading the first trade or two of Incorruptible, I stopped, because it just wasn't anywhere near as good as Irredeemable. So, having Max's story mashed in with Tony's, to the point of retconning their origins so they had more history together (maybe Mark Waid planned it from the beginning, but it FEELS like a retcon), and setting up Max Damage as some kind of serious adversary to the Plutonian- a position already eminently filled by Modeus- really watered down the narrative for me.
I really, really hope the Incorruptible crossover ends here and doesn't have any real effect on the finale of the Plutonian's story, but based on Max and Qubit showing up to rescue Tony from the heat death of the universe, my hopes are not very high.
Also, now that Qubit obviously has time travel technology, it's all moot, because casual time travel ruins stories. All they have to do is go back and stop Daniel from killing Evan. Boooring.

Plutonian meets Max Damage - the origin stories! I actually liked the change of pace/direction/departure from the story thus far that this took. I thought vol. 8 was rushed and that various plot elements were used and then discarded (problem posed, problem solved!) way too quickly. Origin stories, at least, give the characters some more depth - and readers get a chance to psychoanalyze them based on that added information. This was a quick read for me - kept me up past my bedtime - and got me all excited about vol. 10. :)

This book doesn't really carry the Irredeemable saga forward much, but it does fill in a lot of the blanks from the early days. I'm not thrilled at the linking of Plutonian and Max Damage on some deeper mythic level, but their respective stories and setups are interesting, just the right amount of tweaking from classic tropes to set the characters on recognizably askew paths. All the same, you can sense the endgame appearing, and by the end I was impatient to get back to the here and now to see what is coming next.
September 30, 2016
We finally get an origin story of sorts and it's... mostly lacking. I wanted to love what they were doing, and it has some quick flashes of the origin story from The Boys, but the stakes feel weird and, perhaps more importantly, I didn't buy into the motivations of anyone involved here.
It all just kind of goes weird. I hate where this entire thing has gone.

January 26, 2016
The crossover book the series has been building to. The fallen hero and the redeemed Villain duke it out. Great story. Very recommended
September 16, 2023
Really enjoyed this volume!! But there is one thing that bugged me about this volume and that was the lack of almost all of the main characters other than Plutonian and Max Damage. Everyone else was nowhere to be seen except for Quebit near the end. Considering that there’s only one volume left, I hope we’re able to tie up everyone’s stories nicely, because I’ll be a little disappointed if a lot of these characters we’ve been following for so long just don’t show up in the finale.
But all that being said I still loved this volume. I really liked that we got further backstory (or I guess the true backstory) of Plutonian, explanation for why he is clearly not mentally well. Also a full backstory of Max Damage. He may be a typical villain type but I really like him.
I’m incredibly confused as to why Quebit and Max Damage are rescuing him though?? Like humanity just won! Plutonian was finished! But they’re giving him another chance? I just don’t get it.
We are clearly passed the point of redemption for Plutonian if you ask me (hence the comics name lol) so I don’t know why they are giving him a second chance. I imagine it will end badly and there will be a big final fight where he is killed for good. With one volume left, I hope the ending is satisfying!

In largely abandoning the series' main, and by now, smelling distinctly off, storyline Mark Waid spends the penultimate volume of Irredeemable on a four part crossover story on the origins of both the Plutonian and his near-lifelong nemesis (albeit one who's almost entirely absent from the series), the preposterously named Max Damage. And it's a vast improvement on the last few entries.
The Plutonian's past (Redemption: Chapters one and two), from the history of the his 'real' parents and their arrival, then imprisonment on Earth to his teenage years, is imaginative and feels organic. Unlike many of the revelations from the past that this series is soaked in, the Plutonian's history comes across something that was intended all along, and it deepens our understanding of him as a character, his motivations and his deep-seated flaws. Excellent.
Max Damage's tale (chapters three and four) neatly includes all the background needed to insert him into the main storyline. Exploring his childhood, his past history with the Plutonian and the source, and limits of, his powers and abilities, it's great, well-thought out storytelling.

I binge-read this entire series in 5 days, which was a really bad idea, especially after just finishing The Boys, a similar series of superheroes gone bad.
I am only giving this series 3 stars, but it might be worth more if I had just taken the time to enjoy it instead of speedreading it.
In Irreedemable the Plutonian, the ultimate superhero, a god-like being, goes bad. Contrary to The Boys it are his former teammates who are trying to stop him. Also contrary to the Homelander in The Boys, the Plutonian really wanted to help people, to do good, but the stress and increasing demands on him made him go postal.
Which is better, The Boys or Irreedemable? I don't have the answer to that question. In The Boys the sometimes absurd amount of violence and bloodshed is offset by some (dark) humour, which isn't the case in Irreedemable. In Irreedemable the Plutonian has more depth than the Homelander in The Boys. I have a slight preference for The Boys.
PS: I am using this review for the 10 volumes of Irreedemable.

This instalent of the story reveals the Plutonian's origin, as well as the origin of Max Damage, a criminal who, it turns out, was created by Tony through a series of interactions over the course of both characters' lives.
Military: Starts with the acting POTUS thinking about how he agreed to kill 1/3 of the world population in the hopes of saving the other 2/3
3.5 - Just as things were getting really interesting, the book ends. I realize this is a trope of serial storytelling, but it doesn't have to be if the characters are compelling.

Starts out very strong, but does lose steam and starts to meander towards the mid-point of the series. The second half of the series is not terrible, just okay. I recommend reading the series issue-by-issue with a few days between each and not just in one long sitting, like I did. The final arc feels very disconnected from everything else up to that point, and you will have a 50/50 chance to like the ending or roll your eyes at it.
August 30, 2020
The Plutonian talks to his parents and the origin story of both Tony and Max Damage are shown.
This volume did not need to be made. It feels like a lot of chatter and at this point I want to steam into the series finale, not hear about a brand new villain/hero. Apparently Max Damage is the star of another series by Mark Waid, but he felt completely shoehorned in here.
I'm really hoping this series finishes strong, but I have a sinking feeling that it won't stick the landing.

Note to all writers: Stop introducing significant new characters in the third act. Enough.
The momentum train was chugging along fine until we got another origin story for a character from another series.
The main storyline, meanwhile, moved forward 3 seconds in time.
One volume left. I fear the ending will displease me.

And lo, there shall come an ending - but first, a cross0ver with companion series Incorruptible that explains the linked origins of the leads of both titles that adds emotional depth to the titles as the end approaches.
