Why does everyone love RADIANT BLACK?

- The guys take a look at the hit superhero comic Radiant Black, published by Image Comics. Can it carry the torch seemingly bestowed to it from Invincible, or does it meander in an off-putting Power Rangers kind of territory?
(spoilers... it's the latter)

Big thanks to guest editor and friend of the show, Throat Milk for making this happen while we lesson prep for The Invisible College.
Neil went off this ep and I agree with him 100%
I appreciate that you guys aren't afraid to speak your minds about popular titles that have buzz around them.
Some other channels might be more inclined to talk about the book positively just to follow the general consensus.
Haven't read Radiant Black, but love the video! Can't wait for more Invisibles book club ❤
Sounds like a lost episode of Always Sunny, *The Gang Gets Superpowers*
Not far off at all. Could use more Frank Reynolds though.
Given your critiques, if you want a story that does this sort of idea justice,
Ultramega is your book. Amazing, well paced, gnarly action, stakes set and skyrocketed very quickly. And is also rooted in Tokusatsu (sfx heavy hero or sci fi Japanese TV), but instead coming from the Ultraman dynasty.
I'd counter that Ultramega looks awesome, but didn't really care for the second half of it.
“I just fuckin hated it…” lmao 😂🤣
I thought I was the only one that felt this way. The books seems like it's really popular.
My thoughts exactly. I stopped after the first trade.
Thank God i found this video.. i thought i was going crazy after reading 20+ issues and finding them absolute garbage while the entire world seems to be praising it
Welcome to the resistance.
I miss this channel and their posts. So underrated. Post more vids please!
Fire af, cant wait for the actual series
They need a Zordon (or a Master Splinter) and whatever that robot was named along with a Rita Repulsa (or The Shredder) that can actually fight and doesn't laugh and make jokes.
Radiant Black on Imperius Rex!? Awesome!
I've been reading this series and it's awesome. Can't wait to read more adventures of RB and more of the Massive-Verse
Oh shit. Maybe don’t watch this episode
@@ImperiusRex LOL
I’d been curious about this one but have yet to read any of it.
I think I may well give it a miss 😊
Give it a try :)
If you're looking for books to cover - that aren't from the big 2 - I've read Barbaric from Michael Moreci. Read volume 1, surprisingly enjoyable. It's a fantasy story and a bit funny. Fairly metal too.
Agreed- it's a fun time. I loved the tattooed heroine in it
@@ImperiusRex Think a favourite moment for me is near the end where Owen is hallucinating and sees a big heavenly woman. She's talking to him like 'oh come to me and have your rest' and he's just annoyed like 'does this ever work on people?' as he rips the illusion away.
@@ImperiusRexim reading vol 2
It's fine but not as interested now. Could give it a reread.
WOOOT! Been dying to dive into Radiant Black!
Rogue Sun is the highlight title in the Massive-Verse
I'll take your word for it.
Haven't seen Dave shit on a book, not created by Ed Piskor, this hard before.
Hahaha! I would (and have) continued reading Red Room before I would think about coming back to Radiant Black.
@@ImperiusRex You are a noted sadist, so that tracks.
I have the first 2 volumes of Radiant Black and enjoyed it and i read the first volume of Radiant Red and really enjoyed it!!! I was hoping they come out with volumes for all the Radiants. Even if its just one tpb for every one before they conasentrate more on certain ones because if the rest of them have introduction stories as good as Radiant Reds tpb its a great start to a universe!!! I didn't know that they all had financial problems (unless ur joking) because that would be horrible if that is the root of all their problems.
Glad you enjoy it Cliff- it seems like we're in the minority for the most part on this book!
When's the next Invisibles Book Club episode ? I watched the first episode out of curiosity and found it so interesting that I bought the comic and I'm already in the middle of volume 5 lol
YES! Love to hear that! I'm editing the second episode right now and will announce the next date shortly. (inside scoop- I think it will most likely be around April 20th or so). Each volume will be about a month a part.
@@ImperiusRex Awesome ! Can't wait : )
I feel you, I have digital issue but after watching I am currently ordering physical copies for another reread. This time with you guys
Yeah I bought these in singles and dropped the series after issue #4. Just nothing compelling to it. Thanks for the entertaining review!
Angry Dave is the best Dave.
Angry, jet lagged Dave after just returning from 2 nights on Bourbon Street. And to be thrown into this shit show! Luckily we recorded our Invisibles ep immediately after, so I was able to align by chakras and achieve inner peace.
I didn’t like this book at all so when this video came up I was interested to see if I would be persuaded, but no, nobody even likes it hahaha that was surprise
I hate the Power Rangers comics (they don't feel like PR/toku in general to me, moreso just basic American cape stuff with Ranger iconography painted on) so I avoided this and the Ultraman books Higgins wrote, like the plague.
EDIT: And the suit designs are fucking awful!
