Irredeemable cover artist Dan Panosian shares the upcoming cover to issue #18, which features the return of a character we met in the first few pages of the first issue, as the Plutonian killed his whole family. "And you thought the Hornet was dead!" Panosian writes. "Well, he is, this cover is a flashback. Seems he was up to some shenanigans before he passed! The Plutonion's mighty ears must still be burning." The Hornet also appeared in a flashback story in the Irredeemable Special.
