Ten years ago, master storyteller Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, World’s Finest) – aided across more than 60 issues by founding artist and Eisner Award nominee Peter Krause (Power of Shazam!) alongside other artistic collaborators including Diego Barreto (Supergirl), Marcio Takara (Guardians of the Galaxy), Paul Azaceta (Outcast), and more – delivered the long-awaited final chapter to the Eisner Award-winning saga that brought the once-sterling world of superheroes to new depths of darkness: IRREDEEMABLE.
Now with a new comic series on the way in 2023, BOOM! Studios is proud to present the three interlocking narratives of the IRREDEEMABLE mythos – the original IRREDEEMABLE saga, plus its hit companion series, INCORRUPTIBLE, and the spiritual successor co-created by Waid and Krause, INSUFFERABLE – in a comprehensive format collecting each series in a complete, deluxe hardcover for the very first time, alongside highly limited, special edition printings of each series’ long sold-out #1 issues.
An immediate critical sensation upon its debut, IRREDEEMABLE earned multiple Eisner and Harvey awards and nominations for its founding creative team of Mark Waid and Peter Krause, and was one of the first series to define and deepen BOOM!’s reputation as one of the most impactful and genre-defying publishers anywhere in the world of independent comics.
In the years since its debut, the IRREDEEMABLE saga’s influence and renown has only continued to resonate further, finding legions of new fans and leading to the eagerly awaited news that Netflix is currently developing IRREDEEMABLE and INCORRUPTIBLE as the foundation of a new feature film franchise from BAFTA Award-winning director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall), Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Kemp Powers (Soul), and producers Jay-Z and James Lassiter.
