Irredeemable #2 (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

After the vagueness and general evil of volume one, volume two takes a step back from the action and focuses instead on the "why." I'm torn, because this is both exactly what I asked for while reading the first one and still somehow not what I wanted. I don't find myself really all that concerned with the characters and their plight, and I think that's where this one is losing me. Now that the plot has cemented itself and is as compelling as it is (I don't want this to turn into a negative review, because now the plot is smart and interesting) I don't care very much about the people involved in that plot. The storyline coupled with the still interesting Plutonian push this up from a three star into a four, but only just barely. Still hanging on, more because I want to see where it's going than because I'm attached to the book. Continuing the story from the first volume, we get a little more back story as to why the Plutonian has gone all Dark Phoenix on us and it's refreshing (though not surprising, given how good of a writer Mark Waid is) to learn that it's not the result of some comic book-y contrivance like an alien possession or something, but rather something much more human and grounded. I remain underwhelmed by the artwork, but the story is picking up a little bit. The emotional heft that was a little lacking in the first volume has picked up some as well. I can recognize that this is a well put together story, but I'm still not completely sold on it. That said, I'll keep reading for a little while longer knowing that this does seem to be going somewhere and that there is a finite ending in place.

What do You think about Irredeemable #2 (2000)?

A strong continuation. It adds depth to the original with backstory and mysteries explained.

Interesting ideas, but rather incoherent presentation.
