Pre-Order the Eisner Award-Winning Superhero Saga by Mark Waid & Peter Krause – Spanning IRREDEEMABLE, INCORRUPTIBLE and INSUFFERABLE – for the First Time in Deluxe Hardcover with Limited-Edition Upgrades & Extras!
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, BOOM! Studios is proud to bring the three interlocking narratives of the IRREDEEMABLE mythos – the original IRREDEEMABLE run, plus its hit companion series, INCORRUPTIBLE, and the spiritual successor co-created by Waid and Krause, INSUFFERABLE – together for the first time in THE COMPLETE IRREDEEMABLE DELUXE EDITION LIBRARY.
Opening for pre-orders today on Kickstarter, THE COMPLETE IRREDEEMABLE DELUXE EDITION LIBRARY collects each series in the IRREDEEMABLE saga in a comprehensive, deluxe hardcover format, alongside highly limited, special-edition printings of each series’ long sold-out #1 issues – IRREDEEMABLE #1, INCORRUPTIBLE #1, and INSUFFERABLE #1 – each featuring all-new artwork by superstar cover artist InHyuk Lee (Amazing Spider-Man) in three distinct, collectible treatments.
Over the course of the pre-order campaign, BOOM! Studios will be unveiling even more surprises with Stretch Goals that include brand-new covers for all three hardcover volumes by original series cover artist and Eisner Award winner John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men) and the promise of “a major announcement for the future of the IRREDEEMABLE franchise” with more to be revealed over the next 30 days.
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. In the years since, 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 both 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.
Now, with even more big IRREDEEMABLE news looming just over the horizon, BOOM! is excited to offer longtime fans and new readers alike a limited-time opportunity to pre-order the ultimate edition of the series that forever erased the shades of gray that once separated hero from villain – with a variety of limited-edition upgrades and extras, featuring brand-new contributions from some of the comic medium’s most beloved creators, including Cassaday, Howard Chaykin (American Flagg), Barry Kitson (JLA: Year One), and Waid and Krause themselves.
