There’s been a lot of discourse over the last couple days regarding “mainstream popularity” and “tokusatsu”, with the implication being inferred that in order to achieve mainstream popularity a property needs to drop the elements of tokusatsu.  We’re happy to report that is not the case and the best example of that is the Massive-verse, a series of creator owned comic books inspired by tokusatsu from Image Comics and written by some of your favorite Power Rangers creators (Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott, Melissa Flores, and Mat Groom).

One of those properties – Inferno Girl Red – currently has a live Kickstarter to fund it’s second graphic novel!  Of all the comic books in the Massive-verse, Inferno Girl Red is easily the most tokusatsu-inspired of them all, from the look of the character to how the character activates their powers.

You only have 8 days left to back this project – and it still needs a rally to happen!

Inferno Girl Red Book 2 is brought to you by Mat Groom (writer) and Erica D’Urso (artist), with Igor Monti (colors), Becca Carey (letters), Kyle Higgins (editor), and Michael Busutill (magic comic book genie).  Fans who missed the first book can add the first book as an add-on, as well as a number of fantastic art prints, a pin, and so much more!

Two years ago, writer Mat Groom (Mighty Morphin, Marvel’s Ultraman, Image’s Self/Made) and artist Erica D’Urso (Captain Marvel, Xena: Warrior Princess) launched their co-created graphic novel superhero, Inferno Girl Red, on Kickstarter and took the comics world and tokusatsu community by storm!  The book was fully funded and then some and even managed to see an actual retail release at comic book stores.  To say it was a success is simply not true – it was a massive hit!  And now it’s time to relive the magic with the Inferno Girl Red Book 2 Kickstarter!

With a needed funding goal of $85,000, Inferno Girl Red Book 2 looks to continue the story of Cássia Costa after the dramatic events from the first Inferno Girl Red book.  Mat Groom and Erica D’Urso return as co-creators and as writer and artist, but they’re not alone!  Rejoining the group from the first book is Igor Monti on colors, Becca Carey on letters, Kyle Higgins as editor, and Michael Busuttil as the glue that kind of puts it all together.

The panel for the Massive-verse series of books from Image Comics had quite an eventful time at San Diego Comic Con 2023.  The final announcement from the panel was that Massive-verse and Solis Studios had partnered to create a fighting card game powered by the Pocket Paragon system.  The game features 8 playable characters – Radiant Black, 001, Rogue Sun, Cataclysm, The Dead Lucky, Pyre, Inferno Girl Red, and The Griffin.  Each character deck features art pulled directly from the comics with famed artist Dan Mora (Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles x Power Rangers, Go Go Power Rangers) providing the character card art.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Kickstarter campaign to fund this card game!

It has been a long 19 months for those of us eagerly waiting to see Inferno Girl Red (written by Mat Groom, drawn by Erica D’Urso, colored by Igor Monti, letters by Becca Carey, with Kyle Higgins as editor) but for backers of the Kickstarter – that wait is now over!

The digital copy of Inferno Girl Red was sent to Kickstarter backers yesterday.

Inferno Girl Red is Cássia – a young woman who, with the help of a magical bracelet, is able to transform in to Inferno Girl Red to fight off all things bad and evil!  Appearing in the back of Radiant Black Issue 01 as a teaser, then later in Massive-verse Issue 01, fans of that universe have been patiently waiting to learn her backstory.

Stay tuned for our spoiler-free review later this week!

Fans of Inferno Girl Red who missed the Kickstarter will be able to pick up the graphic novel on June 13th 2023.

Inferno Girl Red – the brand new graphic novel co-created by Mat Groom and Erica D’Urso – is 161% funded at the time of this article with the first stretch goal (ribbon bookmark) already achieved and the second stretch goal (20 extra pages) within striking distance.  The success and popularity of this project has allowed a special reward tier to be created for the biggest Inferno Girl Red fans.

Partnering with Starlight Studios – makers of those impressive Omega Rangers helmets from the Power Rangers comic books – is creating an extremely limited set of 10 Inferno Girl Red helmets.  As we contemplate how to scratch up the extra cash to get in on this (seriously there are only 8 left at the time of writing) you should definitely get in on Inferno Girl Red now before it’s too late.

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.
