*Quick read, some spoilers, but not so much..
While Radiant Black stands alone against the robot armies of THE CATALYST WAR…where is the rest of the Massive-Verse? With one of their own trapped behind enemy lines as time begins to unravel, it’ll take a SUPERMASSIVE team—including SHIFT, RADIANT RED, ROGUE SUN, THE DEAD LUCKY, and INFERNO GIRL RED—to turn the tide of one of the most fateful battles of the war in this 50-page one-shot crossover event with art from rising star STEFANO SIMEONE (RADIANT BLACK, MIDLIFE)!
“Supermassive #1” delivers an exciting and engaging experience, integrating seamlessly with Radiant Black’s current Catalyst War event. This 50-page one-shot crossover brings together a diverse and dynamic team, including Shift, Radiant Red, Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red, to face a formidable threat.
The story is well-crafted, with a blend of action and character development that keeps you invested from start to finish. The narrative does an excellent job of tying into the overarching plot while still allowing each character to shine. The connections between the characters feel authentic, with their interactions providing depth and insight into their personalities and relationships.
Guy and Satomi stand out with particularly memorable moments, maybe hinting at potential future developments for their characters. The integration of past events adds layers to the story, making it rewarding for long-time readers while still accessible to newcomers.
Stefano Simeone’s artwork is energetic and vibrant, capturing the fast-paced action and the intensity of the battle. However, there are moments where the art can be a bit chaotic, making it difficult to follow the action or distinguish between characters. Despite this, the overall visual style complements the story’s dynamic nature.
“Supermassive #1” evokes nostalgia for classic Image Comics series like “Dynamo 5” by Jay Faerber and Mahmud A. Asrar, blending superhero action with compelling character dynamics. This issue is a thrilling addition to the Massive-Verse, leaving me eager for what’s coming next.
