With such a huge event on the horizon, Higgins really twists the knife in with this revelation. Nathan finally confronts his anxiety around Marshall wielding the powers and shares those feelings. In its final act Radiant Black #24 really thrusts a huge new conflict in to the mix. They break with structural tradition, throwing everything out of the window to create a unique and masterful vision that challenges both to up their game. The Existence looks outstanding in every panel on every page. Whilst there are some incredible emotional beats in Higgins’ story, it’s Costa and Monti who are the MVPs this issue. It makes sense narratively but also offers up a world of creative opportunity for the artists. What better way to have both characters confront their feelings than with a trip in to the Existence, the source of Radiant’s powers. So with an apocalyptic crisis on the threshold, it does seem only right that Higgins address each character’s future as the titular hero. The push-and-pull between them over the Radiant power has really crackled beneath the surface through the book’s run to-date. Nathan and Marshall have been at the core of Radiant Black from the outset. Those efforts culminate in an explosive issue this week, both visually and narratively. Over the last couple of months it’s felt like Higgins was really pushing to get everyone in place ready for the crossover. But before a villainous empire of machines attempts to overthrow The Radiance, Radiant Black has a few loose ends to tie up. We’re just two months away from the first crossover event in the so-called Massive-Verse. But what new challenges await them within Existence? And what secrets will come out in a place with only truth? Review With their shared powers out of control, Nathan and Marshall go back to the source.
