Hey hey! Happy Friday! It’s been a minute, I know, whirlwind few weeks over here. Full disclosure, at the moment, we’re all just trying to keep our heads above water— too many awesome projects and 2022 coolness to build (and God damn is 2022 going to be cool) so this is going to be a bit short this edition. I’m working on some schedule tweaks so that I can get newsletters out a bit more consistently, particularly as I get ready to head into prep on my first feature in a few months... and some of our ideas for new ways to use the Newsletter (spoiler alert: you really want to subscribe if you want to know about the limited edition Radiant Black merch. Like the ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓).
Speaking of merch, hit us up with what you’d love to see!
Anyway, it’s very busy at the moment, you get it, so let’s jump right in!
First up, December solicits!

Phew. Okay. Deep breaths. We made it out. Maybe, just maybe, it’s finally time for Marshall to relax.
Or maybe there’s a new super-powered asshole in town. And if Marshall can’t handle them alone, maybe he could use some help from RADIANT PINK?
And will they all make it out alive?
Radiant Black #9 FOC
Monday marks your last day to pre-order (and tell your store to pre-order) issue 9 of Radiant Black. It’s a big, bold emotional issue and one that I’m immensely proud of. Eduardo and Marcelo deliver an absolute tour de force on a story about grief, loss and generational friendship.
Here’s an early look!
Yeah, you may want your tissue box nearby for this one…
Radiant Radio! Tomorrow!
But on a happier note, Michael Busuttil, Meghan Camarena and I are doing a new episode of Radiant Radio tomorrow night at 5PM PST/ 8PM EST. At the risk of overhyping this (I swear I’m trying not to to), we’ll have a little announcement on the show. About ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓, which is ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ by me ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Come hang out and learn ALL THE SECRETS!

NYCC
If you’re heading to NYCC next week, come find me in artist alley! I’ll be with Comic Sketch Art (we usually have tablecloths and banners and everything). I’ll be bringing a very limited quantity of blacklights as well as some convention exclusive Radiant Black prints.
If you’re in the NY area, hope to see you there!
That’s it for now! Until next week—
Stay Radiant!

I’m glad I’m not alone in wanting figures. They will look cool as hell!
Radiant Black figures are a must (all colors) I’d love to put them next to my Ranger figures. Maybe shirts and plush toys. I know it’s not your property but an Inferno Dragon Girl Red figure would be sweet as well.
