I love the weird array of supervillains in this universe, although they really do need to start using editors notes because there were a few references to other events that seemed to not have happened in the main series. 

The end reveal for yet another status quo shake up was AWESOME.

👩🏾‍🏫My Rating: ⭐️⭐️ 2.75/5 

Radiant Black volume 3 was my least liked volume in the series. It was boring and confusing, and not enough action happened in-between the stagnant parts.

I find Marshall to be insufferable, I hate that he's one of our main characters and the focus of volume 3.  The first 60 pages of the comic was just Marshall getting mad at a film director and movie crew because they were making a Radiant Black movie and he was convinced that it was going to be terrible. I don't want to read a superhero comic about some jerk doing mundane or rude things, I want to read a superhero comic about a GOOD person doing alright things. It took me an hour to read the whole thing and out of that hour I enjoyed probably 10 minutes of it. 

Towards the end of the comic we get Radiant Yellow's backstory but, the layout of that part of the comic is just not build for digital consumption, the layout was so confusing which in turn made the story confusing. 

Overall, this was really boring and it convinced me to give up on main story of the series. I'm only going to continue with the side stories for the side characters. I'm giving this 2.75 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️


I read this comic for free on [Libbyapp.com]

I've been enjoying this series as an easy read, but the last two issues of this book finally got me excited for this series. The development with Radiant Black
(What's the plural, Radiant Blacks? Radiants Black?)
is fun and intriguing, and explains why the weird story beat in book 1 happened. Meanwhile, the Radiant Yellow issue packed an emotional punch while peeking at a very dire future. Stakes raised.
