    It's a comic book industry event: the first four issues of the new original ongoing superhero series from Mark Waid! Irredeemable dares to ask the question: what if the world's greatest hero decided to become the world's greatest villain? A 'twilight of the superheroes'-style story that examines super-villains from the writer of Kingdom Come.

    Back Blurb

    What if the world's greatest hero decided to become the world's greatest villain?

But while on the run from the world's most powerful and angry being, will these former teammates discover his secrets in time? How did he come to this? What became of the hope and promise once inside him? What happens to the world when its savior betrays it? What makes a hero Irredeemable?

    An apocalyptic superhero tale by the author of multiple Eisner Award winner KINGDOM COME and EMPIRE!
