Longtime friend of the site and contributor Eric Berry (@trekkieb47) was fortunate enough to attend the Radiant Black pre-event at this year’s C2E2 in Chicago, Illinois.  The following is his review of the experience of meeting the team behind the Massive-verse – Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott, Mat Groom, Melissa Flores, and more!

NOTE:  Attendees at this year’s Power Morphicon will have an opportunity to meet Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott, and Melissa Flores!  Be sure to attend the Massive-verse at Morphicon panel on Saturday, August 27th at 2pm!  Full schedule here.

C2E2 is the essential convention experience in the midwest and, every year since 2010, C2E2 has delivered some of the best entertainment guests and comic creators from around the world.

To match that hype, Kyle Higgins of Black Market Narrative announced the “Radiant Black X Lockport” event through the Black Market News Substack (https://kyledhiggins.substack.com/) back in June. If you’re not subscribed, definitely check it out as soon as possible so you don’t miss any news!

But why Lockport, Illinois? Lockport is a smaller city 30 miles southwest of Chicago, near Joliet. It’s where writer Kyle Higgins is from and is the setting for his Massive-Verse series, Radiant Black. In Issue 1, we meet Nathan Burnett, a down on his luck writer that’s in debt and has to move back in with his parents in, you guessed it… Lockport, Illinois.

This year was the second annual Hasbro PulseCon and it was one heck of a show!  Hasbro revealed brand new products for all of their major lines – including Power Rangers – and opened the floodgates on pre-orders for all the delicious plastic goodness that we’ve come to know and love.

After PulseCon, we were fortunate enough to be given an interview with John Warden (Design Director) and Jon Firestone (Marketing) from Hasbro’s Power Rangers team.  In our interview we ask about future accessories for figures still missing items in the Lightning Collection, we get intimate details on the Lord Zedd helmet, the decision behind releasing a second In Space Blue Ranger (with Galaxy Glider) so quickly after the first (VS two pack with Psycho Silver), and of course – the inaccuracies in the Lunar Wolf Silver Ranger figure.

They may have implied what can, and will, be fixed on the character before release?  Check out the full interview below!  Thanks again to Hasbro for this opportunity.  Check out tons of great products on HasbroPulse.com.
