Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kyle Higgins created Radiant Black as a love letter to 90s superhero comics while deliberately subverting their tropes—this short is essentially his thesis statement.
Blaze originates from C.O.W.L., Higgins' earlier Image series about a corrupt superhero union in 1960s Chicago—this crossover quietly bridges two separate comic universes.
