Radiant Black #4

Radiant Black #4 features a shocking plot twist that fundamentally changes the nature of the series and cements the series as one of the most innovative superhero comics published today. Now that the series has taken this radical shift, I can't wait to see how it affects the book going forward and where Higgins and Costa take things from here. Read Full Review

If you are sleeping on this series, I honestly feel like you are sleeping on a milestone in comics history. Radiant Black is changing and rearranging the game of the story. Highly recommended as a read. Don't miss out on such a brilliant show of story and art meshing beautifully. Read Full Review

It's a brave creative team that changes the whole direction of their series after only four issues. I will say Higgins is now on my naughty list, that ending was not at all what I was expecting and part of me thinks they're doing the old comic book death bait and switch. Read Full Review

'Radiant Black' refuses to be "just another superhero comic." Higgins is sitting in his underground bunker petting the kitten on his lap and laughing maniacally at how he's about to blow readers' minds with one of the most unexpected twists in comics. Issue four upends the series confirming that readers cannot sit still for a minute as Higgins and Costa are determined to subvert expectations and the way superhero stories are told.  Read Full Review

Costa does some great work with the art in this issue. There is a lot more action and character development within it and Costa is given the freedom to explore some interesting themes. Read Full Review

HOLY SHIT! Talk about throwing a wrench in the story that just changes the entire trajectory. I was not expecting that ending. It's so much to unpack in this very small issue. First off, seeing Nathan & his friend together to test our the radiant powers was fun. We get more of their banter & more of how well tuned their friendship is. But what I love the most is the conversation they have while walking with their pre-movie groceries and we learn exactly how Nathan & his friend's dynamic really work. Nathan is more reserved & cautious when it comes to things while his friend is more bold & outspoken. He talks about how he would be doing more & being more active with these powers. It's truly fascinating because it kind of plants seeds of envy towards Nathan. But it also sets up the next issue, especially with the way this chapter ends. Like omg, I truly was not expecting this. Like is Nathan fully gone? are we about to get a whole new main character? I need more Seondly, I love the very subtle ways Higgins showcases more of Radiant Black & Red's powers. Red can now make some form of armor for themselves & black can propel things & people and manage to muster up enough power/strength to keep most of building intact so people can escape. This showcases that both characters, though one in the same, they are completely different & unique in terms of power set. Also what is the existence? Who is the radiant? I need to know more. more
