This is an intriguing premise for a series, and it dovetails nicely with Waid's other book, Irredeemable, giving us a street-level view of a world shattered by Superman gone mad. There are a few moments that ring oddly, such as Max's insistance that his ongoing relationship must stop because the girl is underage. I'm not sure if it's just me, but that particular bit feels more and more like there's something important that Max isn't telling about his change in alignment, something that is about more than just balancing the scales against Plutonian (who, it should be noted, borders on the Adriatic.) The interplay between Max and Armadlae is well-handled, reminding me of Riggs and Murtaugh, in a way, and the art by Jean Diaz is excellent throughout. If anything, Incorruptible makes me want to know more about this particular backstory. A recent podcast had a long discussion about the superhero as a genre of comics, as a PART rather than the whole of the comic book industry, and this book Read Full Review

Two issues in, "Incorruptible" is setting itself apart from the book it has spun out of by taking a more ground-level approach to the world, focusing on the effects of the Plutonian's rampage on a human level. The plot set in motion at the end of the issue is an engaging cliffhanger/teaser for next issue. Read Full Review

Again, artist Jean Diaz tells the story clearly, but his figures continue to be a bit inconsistent, occasionally taking me out of the story. This time around, though, he manages to portray Jailbait as the younger girl she's meant to be, but again, I find the character's role in the book to be distaste and too extreme. Colorist Andrew Dalhouse employs too bright a palette in this story. Save for a brief view of the devastation wrought by the Plutonian that's immersed in dreary greys, the rest of the book is marked by bright blue and green tones, which seem out of place in such a dark story.
