This volume of Irredeemable focuses more on The Paradigm, the group that The Plutonian belonged to at one point. The remaining members are trying to figure out how they can possibly get Plutonian back under control by looking into his past.

I believe in this volume we see the start of the incidents that pushed Plutonian over the edge. HIs guilt about the virus and his reaction to Samsara finding out definitely felt very catalysty to me.

It's interesting to see how Paradigm's group dynamic is shifting without the Plutonian and I definitely felt for Cary and was totally not expecting him to end up being the power bomb that he is. It will be interesting to see if his anger over his brother continues to push him or if the others will try to get involved and put a stop to his power madness. ( )

The second volume of Irredeemable takes us through some of the Plutonian's painful backstory, skilfully walking a line that makes him not a villain in hero's clothing but a person with trauma who cracked under the impossible pressures of Supermanning the globe (very different, let it be noted, than supermanning that ho). We also get enough time with his superhero opponents to start to identify with them as our best hope with their backs against the wall, and the thing where Charybdis gets all these powers and verges on megalomaniacal insanity but then pulls it together and concentrates on the job at hand is well done and shades the moral lesson of the series complexly and appropriately.

I really enjoyed the first trade of Irredeemable, but this one was even better. While the first only hinted about why the Plutonian went rogue, this trade introduces several new layers to his story, as well as the ultimate reason why he snapped. It also answers some questions about the Plutonian's actions in the previous trade, as well as giving more insight into the man's troubled childhood.

I can't wait to read the next trade in this series. ( )
