Struggling to remain exciting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

The wheel spinning continues as Plutonian makes it back to Earth but doesn't do anything new, just continues his wave of destruction. So much for an intelligent character portrait, eh Mark Waid? The book introduces yet more new characters because Waid doesn't seem to have anything left to say about the original cast. Survivor wasn't a twin - he was a triplet! So his last surviving brother is sought out to replace the increasingly unhinged Survivor, while the US government, along with the Japanese and Chinese governments, join forces to unleash another devastating weapon in a desperate bid to destroy Plutonian once and for all.

It's safe to say my love affair with this series is over with. Now, Waid spends his time throwing more and more characters into the mix to try and bring the story to life and fails in all instances. I will say that the final few pages throws one, two, three sucker punches that rekindled my interest in this flailing storyline but for the most part, Book 8, like the last one, is a dud. Whereas at the start of the series I couldn't wait to read each book to find out where Waid was going, now it's clear he doesn't really have anything inspired in mind and the story is going to go out in a fizzle instead of a bang. Disappointing and repetitive, at this point I'm just looking forward to the finish line to end this stale series.

This series is picking up again...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 10, 2012

I love the concept of Irredemable, but as with a lot of high-concept stuff it seemed to run out of steam fairly quickly. I stuck with it and I have to say it is starting to really pick up again. The strange releationship between The Plutonian and Mobeus makes for an interesting read. Not amazing, but a fun read.

A lot of truly great moments in this volume. Can't wait to see how the next volume turns out. Can't believe I missed this when it originally came out.

Gasping Towards the Finish Line

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

I was somewhat critical of the previous book, basically saying the series was stuck running in place. My anticipation for this book was somewhat tempered but I was still hoping that Waid could resurrect the series and get it running smoothly again. That did not happen. The Plutonian has returned to Earth and immediately makes up for lost time by murdering millions more and putting the planet back into a state of panic. Survivor and the new Paradigm (now composed mostly of villains) go from being heroes to goats as they had previously assured the world that The Plutonian was taken care of once and for all. There is a big reveal about Survivor that seemed rather anticlimactic after all the buildup. The book ends with a hint about the origin of The Plutonian that really left me somewhat less than riveted.

There are parts of the story that just make no sense. Why would the people of Earth violently turn on Paradigm with the return of The Plutonian and why would the Paradigm attack The Survivor even as The Plutonian stands watching. I could fully understand people's incredible disappointment but would you really attack the one guy who has demonstrated he can go toe to toe with The Plutonian even as the Plutonian lays a swath of death and devastation. Also, we once again get characters suggesting that Survivor may be even more of a threat than The Plutonian. Really?!? When did The Survivor murder entire countries? The Survivor wrestles with his incredible powers but The Plutonian is a genocidal psychopath. There is just nothing in this book (including Survivors big reveal) to indicate that he is a threat on a scale that even approaches The Plutonian. The Plutonian asks Survivor why they would go to all the work of imprisoning him only to have Qubit and Modeus perform a rescue and quite frankly that's a pretty decent sized plot hole that Waid has shined a spotlight on. Qubit has protected and rescued The Plutonian for what???

The series is really struggling at this point. The whole, `look how insane The Plutonian' act is growing increasingly repetitive. Waid has gone to the well so many times that even when The Plutonian carves his insignia into the United States utterly destroying several cities it generates very little shock. Earlier in the series Waid toyed with the idea that The Plutonian might actually wish to redeem himself which would have been an interesting direction to travel down but those days are long since over. Qubit, who despite some dubious decisions had been my favorite character, makes no appearance in this book. So what to do now? Do I give up on the series 8 volumes in? Despite my complaints it hasn't reached the level of bad, mostly it's just gotten stale. Supposedly Waid is bringing the series to an end this spring which is probably a very good thing. At this point I might as well stick with it to the end and hope the last few books make for a satisfying conclusion to a mostly top notch series.

Traveling professor

a promising series disappoints

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

The series started out well but now seems headed nowhere. It seems that the idea of comics that challenge the idea of superheroes is no longer fresh enough to guarantee a sustained story. It may also be that the author is taking on too many other projects. This series is headed to an announced ending soon and I hope that the author can recover the story line but it is not looking promising at this stage.
