Radiant Black Volume 1: (Not So) Secret Origin (Massive-Verse)

I really enjoyed the 1st volume of Radiant Black. Interesting characters, beautiful artwork, and a well written story with a huuuge plot twist a few issues in. The comic definitely did its job, I am hooked and want to keep going.

I loved this story fun and engaging characters with a harsh reality mixed in with crazy cosmic powers a sure fire hit and soon to be Cult classic.

This was amazing I've never had so much more fun reading a comic book up until now

Instant love. I guess those two chosen words say it all. These words are associated with a feeling I felt often in my 40+ years of collecting. The first time was when I discovered Spider-Man, closely followed by Batman. I was 8 then. I remember feeling this for the new X-Men, Claremont's run. I remember this too when picking up Valiant's titles like Shadowman, Archer and Armstrong, XO-Manowar and their take on Magnus: Robot Fighter and Turok, then a dinosaur hunter. Throw in some Legion of Super-Heroes (5YL, Bendis) and you can start having a mental picture of what I like. Radiant Black checks all my boxes. Great characters, cool powers, a rather unorthodox debut and a few good twists. This is world building and it seems they are doing just that. I don't think the art is the best there is, but it is dynamic and the coloring takes it up quite some levels. It just makes everything blend together quite well. Congrats to the art team. I just want to add the fact that at one moment it made me compare Radiant Black to Knights on Broadway (Jim Shooter). The premise is very similar.

15 year old grandson loves it!!

This is really well written, the heroes are so human and are walking through life like all of us when the mysterious power enters their lives and how they approach their powers based upon their own individual nature and nurture, this really captures the common man put in crucible of the uncommon situation, and at its essence isn't that why we read comics in the first place

Great story! I got this on sale thinking it would be like a superhero / power ranger book and it did not disappoint. The author does a great job building the character from the moment you start reading. I had to read it in one sitting and now I’m ordering Vol. 2 after I hit submit!

I took notice of this book after it received an Eisner nomination for Best New Series. Like most Image books it has a great introductory price point. The writer (Kyle Higgins) also wrote Power Rangers for BOOM! Studios and it appears he was inspired to put his own twist of that story and marry it with some concepts that made Invincible work so well. The art was adequate and likely patterned after Ryan Ottley’s style from Invincible…but (coming from a big Invincible fan) this finished product just doesn’t resonate with me. The characters, scenes, and story were just "OK" and didn't seem fresh or strong enough to really justify its inclusion into the category. Comment

Lo recomendaron en La Liga de Los Súper Cuates y no me arrepiento de haberlo adquirido. Una historia de súper héroes diferente y muy creativa. Aún no compro los siguientes números pero seguramente lo haré.

I got this volume for a pretty low price as far as comic industry standards go. And for that price I recieved a book with a more than generous page count and fantastic art. Print quality and cover quality is fantastic for a paperback. Story of course is really solid. Highly recommend.

L'ho comprato perché era in super offerta.

This is a must read for superheroes, the art is epic, the story is intriguing and and universe is expansive, highly recommend this to anyone who has read invincible or wants to find a new read

Muito bacana quando vemos algo novo e que é divertido neste já longo e muita vezes repetitivo universo de super-heróis.
