Radiant Black has new allies， and we， the reader， have to know where they came from。 🧐So many origin stories going on right now， which I like。 It is fun to see the background of these new characters who received these powers。 🤩This volume also has quite the emotional arc going for it。 😢It keeps surprising me at every turn。 🤯

Not sure how how I feel about it。 The first volume started really well and then this started pretty good and just had alot of ups and downs， more downs then up to be honest。 Not sure if I'll continue with the series， art is still great though。 Not sure how how I feel about it。 The first volume started really well and then this started pretty good and just had alot of ups and downs， more downs then up to be honest。 Not sure if I'll continue with the series， art is still great though。 。。。more

3。5 stars。 A pretty solid volume。 Opens up right where the last volume left off， the Radiants battles some other powered mystery person and it wasn’t going well for the Radiants。 There were some interesting questions raised throughout this book however。 Like， at one point， the pink and blue Radiants teleported to space and saw some wild ish。 Like what was that about。 Then Marshall goes somewhere crazy to rescue his friend。 That was trippy。 But yeah， this was pretty decent。

The series finds its footing with this seconde volume。 Characters quickly get better developement and I'll be following this one as long as it keeps this pace。 The series finds its footing with this seconde volume。 Characters quickly get better developement and I'll be following this one as long as it keeps this pace。 。。。more

Didn't really grab me - a lot of twirling of plotlines but in the end the characters didn't really focus enough for me to care about them。 Life and death and existence all in play but。。。too much mystery and not enough reveal。 Not really a typical team-up - which I guess is the point but unfortunately didn't work for me。 Didn't really grab me - a lot of twirling of plotlines but in the end the characters didn't really focus enough for me to care about them。 Life and death and existence all in play but。。。too much mystery and not enough reveal。 Not really a typical team-up - which I guess is the point but unfortunately didn't work for me。 。。。more

Didn't get much out of this volume。 The first two issues are mostly fighting with a new assassin， but then the book becomes one long series of colored pages as our fill in hero tries to revive his friend， and either it was just words on a page， or I'm too dumb to get what was trying to be said。 It ends with Pink's origins and how she met yellow， which is fine， but I wasn't that invested。 Really debating continuing with this series beyond this Didn't get much out of this volume。 The first two issues are mostly fighting with a new assassin， but then the book becomes one long series of colored pages as our fill in hero tries to revive his friend， and either it was just words on a page， or I'm too dumb to get what was trying to be said。 It ends with Pink's origins and how she met yellow， which is fine， but I wasn't that invested。 Really debating continuing with this series beyond this 。。。more

Kind of a hard swerve away from the first volume in terms of protagonist and style， but this is not altogether an unwelcome development。The art remains a major strength， which is fortunate when it comes to depicting some pretty far out things:The last story arc of the volume was my favourite， I'm interested to see what these characters choose to do next。 Kind of a hard swerve away from the first volume in terms of protagonist and style， but this is not altogether an unwelcome development。The art remains a major strength， which is fortunate when it comes to depicting some pretty far out things:The last story arc of the volume was my favourite， I'm interested to see what these characters choose to do next。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Don't you love when Volume 2 is MORE awesome than Volume 1？？ We got a ton of worldbuilding in this Volume as well as some much need character development for Marshall， Nathan and even Satomi。 I'll be honest， I wasn't the biggest fan of Marshall in Volume One。 However， after taking on the mantal of Radiant Black and saving his friend， Marshall has grown on me as a character。 This Volume is raw with human emotions and problems in superhero costumes。 This was sold to me as Power Rangers for adults Don't you love when Volume 2 is MORE awesome than Volume 1？？ We got a ton of worldbuilding in this Volume as well as some much need character development for Marshall， Nathan and even Satomi。 I'll be honest， I wasn't the biggest fan of Marshall in Volume One。 However， after taking on the mantal of Radiant Black and saving his friend， Marshall has grown on me as a character。 This Volume is raw with human emotions and problems in superhero costumes。 This was sold to me as Power Rangers for adults and it delivers！ If you haven't read Radiant Black yet， get both volumes now！ This story shows the real humans behind the masks and the reality of the call to Adventure in comic form。 Amazing story！ Can't wait for more。 。。。more

After the big twist in volume 1， volume 2 of Radiant Black attempts to walk it back just a little， both to its benefit （the character work's great） and to its detriment （because it kind of cheapens the motivation of the main character if the thing he's fighting for isn't quite true anymore）。Despite this， Radiant Black's second volume continues to expand on the mythos it set up in the first volume by bringing in some other Radiants and having them team-up （hey， there's the title！） against a bigge After the big twist in volume 1， volume 2 of Radiant Black attempts to walk it back just a little， both to its benefit （the character work's great） and to its detriment （because it kind of cheapens the motivation of the main character if the thing he's fighting for isn't quite true anymore）。Despite this， Radiant Black's second volume continues to expand on the mythos it set up in the first volume by bringing in some other Radiants and having them team-up （hey， there's the title！） against a bigger threat。 And just like the first volume， the final issue here is an origin story for another Radiant （Pink this time） which sheds some new welcome light on her。While I might not agree with every story direction here， I've got to say that I'm still hooked on the series。 The artwork from Marcelo Costa is still beautiful， and every new layer of the Radiants that gets explained opens up even more potential going forward。 And with the series expanding into a Supermassive one-shot and a Radiant Red mini-series， I can only imagine how big this is going to get before it's over。 。。。more

Fun world-building with some particularly vibrant， kinetic art。 The colors and paneling were absolutely killer。

With Nathan out of action， it’s down to his bestie Marshall to take up the mantle of Radiant Black and battle the mysterious glitchy Radiant， with the help of the other coloured Radiants he’s recently met， and find a way of saving Nathan’s life。 Also， Radiant Pink’s origin story。 The second volume of Radiant Black is a very disappointing follow-up to the decent first book。 No part of this book’s story was at all compelling or fun to read。 The first couple issues are just one long dumb superhero With Nathan out of action， it’s down to his bestie Marshall to take up the mantle of Radiant Black and battle the mysterious glitchy Radiant， with the help of the other coloured Radiants he’s recently met， and find a way of saving Nathan’s life。 Also， Radiant Pink’s origin story。 The second volume of Radiant Black is a very disappointing follow-up to the decent first book。 No part of this book’s story was at all compelling or fun to read。 The first couple issues are just one long dumb superhero punch-up as the sub-Power Rangers throw colourful lights at one another pointlessly until they don’t - I couldn’t have been more bored。 One of the aspects of the first book that I found appealing was Nathan struggling to figure out how to become a successful writer。 With Nathan in a coma for most of this volume， that aspect is completely missing in the book and the focus instead is on his dreary friend Marshall who lives a completely empty existence where he’s either at Nathan’s bedside at the hospital or failing at his retail job。 Marshall’s just not an interesting character to spend time with。 He’s also weirdly concerned with being liked by the world at large and spends a lot of time trying to make people fans of Radiant Black， as well as make money off it。 Like all of the characters in the book， Marshall isn’t particularly likeable。 Kyle Higgins keeps throwing in references to COWL， his terrible Image series from 2014 （you haven’t heard of it for a reason）， and the world at large seems to have oddly quite easily accepted the existence of colourful superheroes。 I didn’t really get what that whole sequence in the Tron-like world of the giant Radiant was about - it felt like a neon-coloured therapy session more than anything - or how it turned things around for Nathan。 There’s also too many characters in this series considering how we’ve barely begun the story。 There’s a new character who’s a supply teacher who’s involved in some black market Radiant stuff or something introduced towards the end - eh， I didn’t care。 Speaking of not caring， we get Radiant Pink’s origin for no reason。 Like Marshall， she’s another boring protagonist。 She’s a Twitch streamer who stumbles across the Radiant after looking for a replacement mic - it’s such a convenient and uninspired origin。 I’d hoped the second volume would at least be as good as the first book， if not better， but it was a complete fail unfortunately。 It abandoned the things that made the first book unique and， rather than attempt anything original， leaned heavily upon genre tropes instead。 I didn’t find it the least bit entertaining and the second book was so bad I think I’m going to abandon the series entirely - don’t bother with Radiant Crap， Volume 2: Team-Up。 。。。more

Yeah， you know how Radiant Black Vol 1 started in a really nice， friendly， gentle way， and then grew to include each and every trick used in each and every superhero comic？ Well， escalate that fact – the fourth issue here is nothing short of a bonkers， unreadable head comic。 Far too unreadable， in fact – this threw a deliberate spanner in the works at the end of the first trade， and here's the whole darned tool kit。 Bring back the nice and gentle and readable， is what I say – other opinions are Yeah， you know how Radiant Black Vol 1 started in a really nice， friendly， gentle way， and then grew to include each and every trick used in each and every superhero comic？ Well， escalate that fact – the fourth issue here is nothing short of a bonkers， unreadable head comic。 Far too unreadable， in fact – this threw a deliberate spanner in the works at the end of the first trade， and here's the whole darned tool kit。 Bring back the nice and gentle and readable， is what I say – other opinions are available。 They're wrong， but they're available。 But hey – at least we get much less of the writer's block wankery。Vol 1 = https://www。goodreads。com/review/show。。。。 。。。more
