Incorruptible #23 preview

Max Damage vs. The Plutonian.

Need I say more? Well, maybe...






Ok, I'll have to admit. This is the "BIG FIGHT" we've been waiting for since both books began, and yet the art isn't good. It's confusing, especially in the later panels/pages of the preview.

Meh.

Let's hope the writing and story are better.

Yeah, pretty much. Even if Max is as strong and tough as Plutonian when he's totally insomniac--and I don't think we've seen much to support that--one guy's a flying speedster who nukes cities by looking at them, and the other guy isn't.

It makes sense that a prepared, bad-guy Max could be a regular thorn in the side of a restrained, good-guy Plutonian, but a straight slugfest between them should be pretty one-sided.

Tony is a high-grade telekinetic, though. IIRC, it's been implied that he's really only as strong as he believes himself to be...which is terrifying in its own right if he thinks he's a God because his powers will MAKE him one.

OTOH, if he gets frazzled (like he was at the insane asylum), his powers decrease. Hence why the cutter was able to injure him at the asylum but not on Earth.

It's been implied that Max was a match for the Plutonian in the old days. That is, when Tony played by the rules and Max didn't.

Remember, when the series began, Max was about to unleash a deadly pathogen to kill a huge number of people. Tony has gone toe-to-toe with him before...but in a totally different capacity. With Max playing for the angels and Tony unrestricted, it's presumably not the same ballgame. Of course, the longer Max stays awake, the more potentially unhinged he gets.
