Irredeemable #14 – Review

By: Mark Waid (writer), Diege Barrreto (art), Andrew Dalhouse (colors), Ed Dukeshire (letters)

The Story: The good guys get cracking with a plan to take down the Plutonian once and for all.

What’s Good: Yes!  We have a “normal” issue of Irredeemable back!  What do I mean by that?  Well after two months of releasing issues (Irredeemable Special #1 and Irredeemable #13) that were more tailored to allowing new readers to have a jumping-on point, we finally get back to moving this story along.  Honestly, I was a little worried that Irredeemable had lost its fastball, but Waid is really bringing it in this issue.

Almost all of the major plot points move along here:  The Paradigm bust out of jail.  Gilgamos (who is really old, btw) and Bette both get over their angst and start to act.  Orian the Hunter is in on the action.  And, nasty/angry Plutonian is BACK (along with his mysterious sidekick).  I will be very excited to see how all of this shakes out next issue because Waid has really set this up nicely.
