Radiant Black is officially out in comic book stores and online in less than 30 days.  And while pre-orders are now closed for the book, those who fall in love with it (and it will be many of you) will want to track down this beautiful cover.

Fans of the Power Rangers comic books by BOOM! Studios will no doubt recognize what this cover homages.  Indeed – it is famed Power Rangers comic book cover artist Goñi Montes!  We think this cover is absolutely beautiful and can’t wait to get our hands on it.  It is a 1:50 variant.

Radiant Black Issue 01 releases Wednesday, February 10th at your local comic book store and online.  Radiant Black is brought to you by Kyle Higgins, Marcelo Costa, Becca Carey, with Michael Busuttil.  Published by Image Comics.

The second Lock Seed/Accessory set for the CSM Kamen Rider Gaim series is here – Team Baron!  The details have also been shared as we get our first official look at the redesigned Energy Lock Seeds.  Of note is the inclusion of the “Power Down” sound effect in the Energy Lock Seeds which was included in the original DX toys but was incredibly difficult to get to activate.

The set includes:

  • Banana Lock Seed
  • Mango Lock Seed
  • Walnut Lock Seed
  • Maron Energy Lock Seed
  • Matsubokkuri Energy Lock Seed
  • Baron Face Plate
  • Black Baron / Proto Baron Face Plate
  • Blank Face Plate (Knuckle ver.)

The designer blog of this set mentions that while the blank face plate is virtually the same as included int he Project Ark version, this one specifically is for Kamen Rider Knuckle and will have sound effects for his Rider whereas the one in Project Ark is designed for the Kurokage Trooper and will have different sound effects.  Check out the designer blog here.

This set is scheduled for release July 2021.
