A review by crookedtreehouse
Irredeemable, Volume 3 by Mark Waid

4.0

Cheap comics have a technique where they spring a shocking reveal on you and then flashback to something you haven't seen to explain the weird, out-of-nowhere turns.

One of the reasons I enjoy this series is that Waid gives you a piece of new information, and THEN the reveal happens. It's not as shocking, but it makes for better, more believable storytelling. In a superhero comic that includes alien invasions.

I would recommend this to fans of Warren Ellis's Stormwatch/Authority/Planetary series, people who watch Starship Troopers like it was Rocky Horror so they can shout out BUGS! during the alien scenes, and people who like aliens named after tiny cars.
