WARNING: “SUPERMASSIVE” SPOILERS BELOW


For eagle eyed readers (i.e. anyone who finished the entirety of SUPERMASSIVE) you may have been wondering what that post-credits tease was all about. Well, now that we’re a week removed… we thought it would be a good time to talk a little bit about the next book that will hit the Massive-Verse later this year, THE DEAD LUCKY.

Cover by French Carlomagno

Set against the stylized, colorful, future-coded backdrop of San Francisco, The Dead Lucky is a series that explores the frustration and heart of a haunted veteran soldier, courtesy of former Power Rangers producer Melissa Flores and our killer art team from Radiant Black #12, French Carlomagno and Mattia Iacono with a sweet costume design from Federico Sabbatini, letters from Becca Carey and edits/design by the incomparable Michael Busuttil.

Like I said, the book is coming out later this year so we’re not quite ready for solicits. As such, we’re going to hold onto more of the big cool details until we’re a little closer to a full announcement/launch… but imagine if BLADERUNNER and ROBOCOP had a crossover with ARCANE? Yeah, that’s this book.

…and there may or may not be robots ;)

Rogue Sun Soars

RS 1 E cover by Brett Booth, Marc Deering and Igor Monti

This week saw the release of ROGUE SUN #1 from Ryan Parrott, Abel, Chris O’Halloran, Becca Carey and Michael Busuttil.

It’s a good book. A REAL good book. And I know that, for Ryan in particular, this is a really cool moment.

Could not be happier and more proud of my friend.

Let’s get Massive.

(okay, the call signs can’t all be winners)


Radiant Red Rockets

Speaking of new books debuting, this Wednesday marks the release of Radiant Red #1 from my Radiant Black #6 partners in crime, Cherish Chen, David Lafuente, Miquel Muerto, Diego Sanches and Michael Busuttil.

This is Cherish’s first solo comic and I could not be more excited and proud of her — and the whole creative team — for this debut.

Make sure you snag a copy (while you can…).


Radiant Black 13

Monday is also your last chance to pre-order Radiant Black #13, which officially kicks off Radiant Black Year Two.

And right here is your FIRST EXCLUSIVE LOOK!

Joining us on colors for this big, bold kickoff is one of my favorite colorists working, Raul Angulo. And just look at the epicness he’s slinging.

This is an important one, with seeds for the next year all being planted here.

As always, you can pre-order from your local shops or through our site at:

Okay, need to leave it there for today— still have plenty to write before Monday! Until next week—

Stay Radiant!

“Imagine if BLADERUNNER and ROBOCOP had a crossover with ARCANE.” That just might be the coolest sentence ever spoken and I’m all here for it. My wallet might be a different story though.

Can you say if The Dead Lucky is in the same universe as Rogue Sun and Radiant Black, or is it like Inferno Girl Red where it's an alternate dimension within the same multiverse?
