035 A Glimpse into 2023

February 2023 Solicitations and a Merch drop!

Oct 21, 2022

What’s up?!

Happy Friday all you extra radiant folks! It’s been a minute here in between newsletters— NYCC absolutely annihilated my schedule (and my knee) but it was a hugely entertaining show. In fact, there may even be some plans to come out of it that could shape the future of the Massive-Verse.

Oh, and Francesco Manna and I got to meet Ultraman and Ultraseven.

We also launched the first of a (more) regular livestream that we’re going to try to do on Thursday nights before the coming week’s Black Market releases as well as some surprise announcements, variant drops and giveaways, and plenty more.

But enough with the old! Let’s get onto the new stuff!

We have a new TPB out!

Radiant Black Volume 3

Another exceptional piece of art and design from Marcelo and Michael. And I guess the pull quote isn’t too bad I guess.

Final Order Cutoff

Rogue Sun #8 - FOC is October 31st

Still reeling from the aftermath of his fight with Cataclysm, Dylan finds himself forging a new path, both at home and as a superhero. But with one poor decision comes bitter consequences...and the birth of a villain hellbent on revenge.
