008 Have a Red Weekend
Radiant Black 6 Release, New Soundtrack Drops, Issue 9 Solicits, Ordinary Gods!
Hey everyone! Hope your Friday’s been behaving! It was a big week over here, getting Ordinary Gods 2 to the printer, celebrating Radiant Black 6 finally coming out, and shoring up some super exciting plans on a few projects to come. So much fun, in fact, that I may even have a little ‘sclusie tease at the end of this post. So, let’s dive right in!
Radiant Black 6
It exists! It’s real! It’s in the world! This was a really fun, special issue for me. It’s illustrated by David “Darko” LaFuente, colored by Miquel Muerto, and co-written by a wonderful writer who’s making her comic debut, Cherish Chen. In a series that is constantly growing and evolving, Satomi’s story is one that I feel very excited to explore more of.

Radiant Black Music
New music’s back!
After a little bit of a delay due to some intense series deadlines, the wonderful Sam Ewing is back, finishing out his run of original tracks! I’ve been listening to these on loop all week— they’re insanely great.
I’m going to embed the new tracks here, but definitely head over to our site to give a listen to all six on a row. They make for quite the musical and thematic journey for volume 1.
Radiant Black Comic Con Panel
This Sunday, July 25 at 3pm PT, if you tune into Comic-Con At Home 2021, you’ll find a lovely panel with all sorts of special bits and a really, really cool announcement. That has to do with this cover:
If I understand how this works, you’ll be able to just go to SDCC’s YouTube channel and stream the events you like.
Hope you can make it!

In Paris, the search for the Trickster continues. The awakened gods are closer than they’ve ever been to reuniting the Five—but what if the Trickster finds them first?
