These words are associated with a feeling I felt often in my 40+ years of collecting.
The first time was when I discovered Spider-Man, closely followed by Batman. I was 8 then.
I remember feeling this for the new X-Men, Claremont's run.
I remember this too when picking up Valiant's titles like Shadowman, Archer and Armstrong, XO-Manowar and their take on Magnus: Robot Fighter and Turok, then a dinosaur hunter. Throw in some Legion of Super-Heroes (5YL, Bendis) and you can start having a mental picture of what I like.
Radiant Black checks all my boxes. Great characters, cool powers, a rather unorthodox debut and a few good twists.
This is world building and it seems they are doing just that.
I don't think the art is the best there is, but it is dynamic and the coloring takes it up quite some levels. It just makes everything blend together quite well. Congrats to the art team.
I just want to add the fact that at one moment it made me compare Radiant Black to Knights on Broadway (Jim Shooter).
The premise is very similar.
Comment
Great start. I'm looking forward to how Nathan factors into the overall plot.
