Oh, we've got a few surprises with this issue. I think the Plutonian goes to a whole new level of evil...

Posted by peterporker on 06/29/09 at 09:27 PM
Peterporker...you trying to get Edward going?
Posted by Peterkrause on 06/29/09 at 09:28 PM
ya god damn right. but being truthful as well

Irredeemable hasn't disappointed yet.
Going from what Mr. Peter Krause said, I can't wait to see what the Plutonian will do in this issue.

I hope he rips those wings off. I'm just saying...
Posted by vadamowens on 06/30/09 at 03:54 AM
no, seriously, is that what turned Plutoian bad? the old 'serenity now' trick?
Posted by edward on 06/30/09 at 07:53 AM
Dang! Edward figured it all out!
I guess the cat is out of the bag.....

This is the end of an 'arc,' right? I'm almost as interested in how the narrative is structured as I am the actual story itself. It's been a real treat so far.

"Choose ten" moment of the week

HOLY SHIT!

PotW for me.

Every month I wonder if Waid and Krause can make The Plutonian any more evil, and each month the answer is yes. "This is what it feels like," indeed.
Posted by Rustyautoparts on 07/01/09 at 11:34 PM
excellent and devious as hell
Posted by vadamowens on 07/02/09 at 01:24 AM
Choose. Ten.
POTW!
Posted by Noto on 07/02/09 at 01:34 AM
Yeah, that was freakin' crazy. I love the UN scene as well. Mark Waid doesn't seem to have a good opinion of human nature when it comes to panicked situations. Or he just embraces it.

Mark Waid was at a local shop here in Arizona the week after issue #2 came out. Believe it or not, there wasn't even a line. He signed an absurd amount of books for me. I asked him if he found writing extremely evil characters cathartic, and he just gave me an evil -- but happy -- grin. Then I asked him when he was coming back to Spider-Man after 24/7 ended and his entire demeanor went back to his usual happy self that you see in interviews.

Bonus amusing comment from Waid - When he was signing my Obama Spidey #583 he started talking about all the other comics that started slapping Obama on them and he said that Obama himself did read Spidey #583 and as far as he was aware, he was the only writer that can claim that Obama read his Obama story and he's very proud of that fact.

A lot of fun.

peter where are you? :)
Posted by peterporker on 07/02/09 at 08:15 PM
I was watching the grilling episode....
Thanks for all the kind words!
Posted by Peterkrause on 07/02/09 at 08:57 PM
I just finished the book, excellent work. I'm really enjoying it.

Way to go Mark Waid and Peter Krause. You guys have out done yourselves with this first arc. I'm hooked and can't wait for the story to be completed. I love how we are slowly being shown the downward spiral of the Plutonian. How there was really no 1 thing that sent him over the edge but it seems that it is going to be more of a culmination of events. While I can't give it my pick of the week it will probably come in second.

getting better, pete, getting better
Posted by edward on 07/06/09 at 03:30 AM
I got lucky at Heroscon in Charlotte and met Mark Waid. He couldn't have been nicer. I got his autograph on the first three issues of Irredeemable and Cap. #600. I read all three that day and, wow! Awsome! #4 didn't disappoint. Can't wait till next month.

Wow, awesome cover by my favorite artist John Cassaday. Hope the book's as good.
