RADIANT BLACK #40

Radiant Black #40 continues the stormy saga of Marshall's transformation as the city's protector. For months now, Marshall has been the one and only Radiant Black, constantly striving to be better, to do better, to be the hero Chicago deserves. Not everything can be saved. In this issue, writer Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark, joined by Marcelo Costa on art, push the character to confront the cost of heroism as unexpected threats mount. The story threads the personal costs of power with the big-screen-friendly action and bold, kinetic visuals that define the series. Daniel Bayliss provides the main cover, with variant covers by Matt Taylor and a Daniel Bayliss virgin variant that showcase the series' dynamic design. This issue advances the ongoing Radiant Black saga, balancing character development with high-stakes heroics, and setting the stage for future crises and new revelations.
