Incorruptible Volume 4 written by Mark Waid and art by Marcio Takara
Max comes up with a brilliant plan to take down The Plutonian just when Plutonian is taken down by some aliens who will enslave him off-world. What's a novice superhero to do? Max's allies, psychotic sidekick Headcase and Plutonian's ex Alana, are worried about what Max will do. The Paradigm, the Justice-League-style group of Plutonian former allies, come to Max with a strange offer--join them in fixing the world or die.
The side story with Headcase is the most interesting part of the story. She's struggling with personal loss and what to do with herself besides living the high-risk life of fighting evil people (without any superpowers). She's not right in the head and Max keeps meaning to set her straight, but he really has no capabilities to persuade her. The main story, Max's path of redemption, is getting a bit muddled, like the writers don't know what to do with him either. Another side plot, the cadre of rich people exploiting the anarchy, moves slowly in seemingly random directions, another meandering plot thread. Maybe things will come together in the next issue?
Mildly recommended.
