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.

There was much rejoicing followed by some tears as Tamashii Nations revealed two of their upcoming exclusives for the Tamashii Nations 2022 Event.  This year’s event will see S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Jack Revice from Kamen Rider Revice, as well as Zenkaiser Black from Avataro Sentai DonBrothers.

The Massive-verse, made up of Image Comics properties Radiant Black (Kyle Higgins), Rogue Sun (Ryan Parrott), Inferno Girl Red (Mat Groom), and The Dead Lucky (Melissa Flores), held their first panel at this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2022.  The panel also featured Cherish Chen (Radiant Red mini-series).  Check out all the details below thanks to Comic Book Keepers (@CBKcast) on Twitter for the details and images!

  • The Empire (the deep space aliens we saw previously during a Radiant Pink teleport mishap) are about to strike back
  • Radiant Black #18 features the premiere of Radiant Yellow (Wendell) and will feature four stories in one – reading the comic in different ways – which go in line with his power of being able to see multiple outcomes to situations (in order to choose the best one)
  • The Catalyst War – a Massive-verse event – is coming soon…
  • Rogue Sun current story arc ends in Issue #6
  • Rogue Sun Issue #7 is a “Choose Your Own Adventure” issue
  • A new villain based on time debuts “Ornate”
  • Rogue Sun Issue #8 takes us back to High School (think “Go Go Power Rangers” comic) and features a new villain named “Hellbent”
  • Preview for Rogue Sun Issue #9 gives us the hint that Dylan is going to have a real rough time
  • Radiant Red concludes with Issue #6 and gets wild
  • Inferno Girl Red preview – 120 page graphic novel!
  • Introduction to The Dead Lucky, created by Melissa Flores
  • The Dead Lucky is Bibiana, a half-Latina half-Asian woman, of which The Dead Lucky represents both cultures in terms of how those cultures honor the dead
  • Radiant Pink series announced
  • Written by Meghan Camarena featuring artwork by Emma Kubert
  • Introduces Radiant Pink’s love interest Kelly, and their relationship is the heart of the series
  • Super Massive 2 was announced

The Massive-verse looks to become even MORE massive!

The creators of all the heroes in the Massive-verse have something in common – they’ve all worked on Power Rangers at some point in their careers!  These new heroes have some tokusatsu inspiration in them, one main trait being that these heroes all “transform” (whereas your traditional comic book superheroes just have their suits on under their regular clothes).  Now is a great time to catch up with the Massive-verse and all of their titles!
