The official Radiant Black Twitter account has revealed the three main covers for Radiant Black Issue 08. It appears the whole squad is here and fighting the character introduced at the end of Radiant Black Issue 05.

Check out all three covers (full sized) below!
The first time we met Cássia Costa was in the back pages of the first issue of Radiant Black. Since then, we have seen various images and teases about an upcoming Kickstarter project. Today, that project is now live!
Inferno Girl Red is a tokusatsu and superhero inspired comic book written by Mat Groom (SELF/MADE, ULTRAMAN), drawn by Erica D’Urso (JAMES BOND, XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL), colored by Igor Monti (MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS, MEGA MAN: FULLY CHARGED), lettered by Becca Carey (WONDER WOMAN, BATGIRL, HARLEY QUINN, RADIANT BLACK), and edited by toku-famed writer Kyle Higgins (MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS, RADIANT BLACK, NIGHTWING, THE WINTER SOLDIER, ULTRAMAN).
The story follows Cássia Costa is as follows:
An ancient cult and their army of demons have stolen Cássia’s home, Apex City. When a magical dragon bracelet rockets into her life and affixes itself to her arm, Cássia’s the only person equipped to stop the cult from offering the entire city to their dark lord.
There’s just one catch…
The magical bracelet is powered by belief, and Cássia — an intensely pragmatic, rational girl – doesn’t have much to spare. She’ll have to find something to kindle her faith, though, and fast —because she has a secret legacy to live up to. Because her mother’s life is on the line. And because Apex City needs Inferno Girl Red.
There are a number of reward tiers giving you everything from a digital copy of the graphic novel, to appearing in the graphic novel itself, to receiving an actual piece of original artwork from artist Nicola Scott.

From the website Radiant.Black:
Nathan Burnett has just turned thirty, and things aren’t great: He’s working (and failing) at two jobs, his credit card debt is piling up, and his only move… is moving back home with his parents.
But when Nathan discovers and unlocks the ethereal, cosmic RADIANT, he’s given the power to radically change his fortunes!
There’s just one problem: The powers don’t belong to him. And the COSMIC BEINGS who created them want them back…by any means necessary.
Three covers will be available for Issue 02.
