Man oh man...I never got to finish this in High School. I read up to Volume 3.

So I'm re-reading it from start to finish because...well because the movie reminded me I never finished it. So here we go.

What if you took Superman and made him into a killing machine. Cool. Now what if have a mystery of WHY crazy Superman is murdering all of his friends. SWEET.

The first volume of Irredeemable starts off vicious and doesn't let up...too much. You see the death of countless character, who you don't have any attachment to but still feel awful when you see them get murdered. That's a big plus for me. You also get some intriguing mystery notes that make you wonder why such a good man would turn to such a ugly side.

My main issues stem from the art being a little bit eh. Especially with faces sometimes. Also the plot feels like it jumps a lot and doesn't always follow a good pace. It catches something interesting and lets it go for something no one cares about.

Still, this is a very solid first volume to get you into a world of fear and honestly, some nasty shit this "hero" does that you can't look away from. A 3.5 out of 5.
