Since 2009, Mark Waid has been spinning a complex saga of redemption and destruction in his two creator-owned superhero comics at Boom! Studios Irredeemable and its spin-off, Incorruptible . In an interview with Newsarama , Waid broke the news that the story is set to conclude in May with Irreedeemable's #37 and Incorruptible's #30.

Despite the books only just recently crossing over for the first time, Waid said that it was simply time for the story to end. "I'd love to say it's because I've gotten all the darkness out of my system, but that would be a lie — as you well know having read the last page of Irredeemable #35. Honestly, both series continue to be successful, so it's a hard decision to make, but it feels like the right time."He goes on to say, "I'm really, truly grateful for the chance to go and create a world where I was able to, on a monthly basis, challenge some fans' perception of me as some sort of Silver Age fetishist unable to break through into the 21st century. There is nothing in my 1000-comics-plus body of work that I'm prouder of than my work building this universe."While May holds the final chapters of the Plutonian and Max Damage for now, to the question of future stories set in this universe Waid said, "Time will tell. Honestly, there are other stories that could be told with some of them — not all, as you'll soon see. First, let's see how fans react to the big finale."
