So Jailbait has run off and Damage is trying to make it seem as though she is still around in an effort to protect her from his enemies. Enter Annie, a girl he rescues that is now passing as Jailbait while Damage tries to find Jailbait. Jailbait eventually gets rescued but Damage is really trying to get her to leave him be and go into the straight life. Unfortunately Annie's family has been destroyed by a gang of skin head Nazi's who have convinced themselves they are the Plutonian's chosen ones. In the end Annie becomes the new Jailbait and her and Max are looking for the skinheads home base so they can figure out who has spilled Max's vulnerability secrets.

I was definitely sad to see the original Jailbait go. I was hoping we could watch her and Damage try and figure out who they are in relation to each other a little while longer, however it looks like that is not going to happen. I do like Annie and it feels like this is safer for Damage b/c she is a lesbian but Damage's closing statements were absolutely right, she is definitely hiding out in Jailbait's life until she can deal with losing her family and all the other things that have just happened to her.

So this graphic novel is the flip side of the Irredeemable series by the same author. Max Damage used to be a villain, however after witnessing the carnage that the Plutonian has wrought on the world he feels a need to turn himself around. In this book we witness Damage's return to society and get to find out a little bit about his origin.

Right now I have to say the most interesting part of this series is Damage's relationship with Jailbait. When you hear Jailbait recount what their relationship used to be like you get the impression that at some point this relationship was just about sex, but as you watch how he treats her now you can see that clearly he has strong feelings for her and that he always has. You can kind of figure out the psychology of his behavior based on his arguments with Origin. Because he couldn't physically feel much, he wanted to pretend that he couldn't mentally feel things either.

I don't know how I feel about Max's total 180. If the world is in as sorry a state as it seems to be I don't know that anyone would feel so willing to give up the money and cars that could help them pull things together. While I understand how seeing what the Plutonian did could make him change his behavior, I am just not sure I am comfortable with some of the extremes he is going to.… (mais)
