Mark Waid gets double-barreled with BOOM!

BOOM! Studios has unleashed a double-barreled salvo of Mark Waid-related media, sending us not only a podcast with the EiC himself, but also giving us a sneak trailer for Waid’s new series Irredeemable.

In the first “15 Minutes with Waid,” Mark will discuss his relaunched series Potter’s Field. The series will return in March, according to the writer. He also discusses the young studio’s trials and tribulations as a new comics publisher.

Meanwhile, Irredeemable promises to be a new, complex twist on typical superhero adventures. “In superhero comics, pretty much everyone who’s called upon to put on a cape is, at heart, emotionally equipped for the job. I reject that premise,” said Waid in a press release. “IRREDEEMABLE is, in a way, my third and most complex chapter on the cost of superheroics – a pulp adventure tale of horror exploring how the lessons we learn about right and wrong as children can become warped and twisted when challenged by the realities of the adult world.”
