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. 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.

Solis Game Studio, Kyle Higgins, and Image Comics are teaming up to bring The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game to stores this fall for the first time after a successful crowdfunding campaign launched the game. In the 1v1 card game, players will be able to duel one-on-one as favorite superheroes from across the Massive-Verse, including from popular series like Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red.
For those looking to play 2v2 or expand their collection, The Massive-Verse FCG: Team-Up Expansion allows for four players to join the battle with four new characters and two brand-new team decks that give players more ways to play. In addition, the official Massive-Verse FCG Playmat, featuring explosive art by superstar artist Dan Mora—who also illustrated the game’s character cards—will be hitting shelves alongside the The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game and Team-Up Expansion this October.
The strategic Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game will include individual character decks for each of the four lead heroes, as well as character decks for each of their most fearsome rivals—<001>, Cataclysm, The Griffin and Pyre. With deeply asymmetrical character decks and simultaneous turns, the game is designed to be lightning fast as the superheroes and supervillains go head-to-head in 1v1 battle or 2v2 with the Expansion. Card art is pulled straight from the Massive-Verse comics like Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves into the worlds within the pages of the Massive-Verse. The official playmat for The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game has marked zones for two players to easily track their deck, discard pile, ultimate, health, and energy. Since The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game utilizes Solis’ Pocket Paragons game system, it’s compatible with other Pocket Paragons sets, as well.
The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game (Lunar Code 0724IM433), Team-Up Expansion (Lunar Code 0724IM435), and Massive-Verse FCG Playmat (Lunar Code 0724IM434) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 2.
The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game is cross-over fighting game of quick spell and big reads. Featuring 8 characters, it brings the world of the Massive-Verse by Kyle Higgins and the legendary art of Dan Mora to the tabletop with the Pocket Paragons game!
Taking 5-15 minutes per game, it’s for 2 players and retails for $29.95.
