Radiant Black to Release B&W One-Shot for 5th Anniversary
Radiant Black, the flagship title in Image Comics’ interconnected Massive-Verse, will soon reach its fifth anniversary. To celebrate five years of the title, the first issue of Radiant Black by Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and Marcelo Costa (Marvel’s Voices) will be reprinted in black and white.
The Radiant Black & White one-shot will include the script for the first issue, a cover A by David Finch and cover B 1:20 pencils variant by Finch. It will be in comic shops in February 2026.
“In Radiant Black #1, readers meet Nathan Burnett, who just hit 30 – and rock bottom. Two dead-end jobs, crushing debt, and a one-way ticket back to his parents’ house to live. But when he stumbles upon the cosmic force known as the Radiant, everything changes,” per the description. “Imbued with unimaginable power, Nathan’s shot at redemption becomes a battle for survival – because the beings who forged the Radiant want it back… and nothing in the universe will stop them from reclaiming it.
“Five years of Radiant Black – that’s a wild milestone to wrap my head around. This series has meant so much to me, and I’m immensely proud of what our team has built,” Higgins said. “Radiant Black and White #1 is a chance to revisit where it all began in a really intimate way, showcasing Marcelo’s stunning line art and the original script for issue one. I’m thrilled we get to present the comic in this format and celebrate how far the story – and our readers – have taken us.”
