    But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings

    Jan 01, 1970

    Radiant Black #8raises even more questions about the ongoing narrative while forging a dynamic between its superpowered characters. With all of the Radiants aware of each other and an incoming war, I have no idea where the series is heading nextbut I'm more than prepared to stay on this ride. Read Full Review

    001's backstory and character development are at the core of this issue and the few pages in Russia do seem jarring and slow compared to the rest of the issue. Thankfully it's not long before we are back in action for a shocking finale to the battle with 001. The final page and four panels set's up the next part of the story and hints at more villains and heroes joining the series. Read Full Review

    Radiant Black 8 picks up right after the last issue that saw Satomi and Radiant Yellow - whose name we now know is Wendell, discover the mysterious villain that I'm still calling Glitch. All while Marshall and Eva continue their detour and find themselves in Russia. I have to say I laughed so hard in the opening scene between Marshall and Eva that I actually started tearing up, Marshall is hilarious. I haven't had a laugh this good reading a comic in long time. There were great character moments between Marshall and Eva. We don't get much info on Eva but even in these brief scenes we get an idea as to what her personality is like and she's cool. At the same time, Satomi and Wendell get into a badass and action packed fight with Glit more

    This book expands upon the scope of the series thus far and doesn't miss a beat doing so.

    Cool action pieces once again, I do feel the tension between this group. It's awesome what has been built in this super hero universe. I do hope at some point they come together as a team, but Black and Red tension will not be easy to overcome.
