Mark Waid's amazing comics about a villian-turned-good and a superhero-going-psycho are ending. Newsarama has the article.

I thought there would be much more story to tell, but I guess going out on a good note is the smart choice.



From the article:

Waid: Okay, really, truly — I’m just stretched thin right now both personally and professionally, and I live in mortal fear that I’m going to overstay my welcome on these books. Moreover, I feel that Max Damage’s character arc is reaching its end in Incorruptible. And in Irredeemable, I’ve long known what the end of that series is, and lately, it’s as if all the characters are moving into position for it whether I want them to or not. So let’s go out big and grand, I say.

I will miss playing around in this universe.

For legality...

You know how often Singapore gets destroyed? At least in the Authority, the new century baby is Asian/Singaporean and wears our flag and (supposedly at least before the entire world got destroyed) was suppose to be based on our ideals. And Singapore wasn't totally obliterated (until the entire Wildstorm universe itself was obliterated anyway).

"was suppose to be based on our ideals"

A hero based equally upon a political iron fist and apathy?

I kid, I kid......

I bet Singapore's a convenient enough target for writers given it's recognizable enough to western audiences to know by name-drop but small enough for them not to care. The fact that it's an island nation and supposedly 'easier' to obliterate can't hurt either.
