Watch the creators behind Image Comics' Massive-Verse dig into the series they describe as "Power Rangers with adult problems" at C2E2 '22 panel

Kyle Higgins calls the Massive-Verse a love letter to superheroes

The recent hit series Radiant Black from Image Comics has spawned an entire universe called the Massive-Verse, and the creators behind this now multi-title line of comics took to the C2E2 stage to speak about what's happened, and what's coming.

“The Massive-verse is our universe of creator-owned superheroes. It’s everything we’ve ever wanted to do on superheroes but been held back,” says Mat Groom, who writes the upcoming Inferno Girl Red title.

As Radiant Black writer (and father of the Massive-verse as a whole) Kyle Higgins added later, the line is at once a love letter to everything that the creators loved about superheroes growing up, but also an attempt to push the genre – and, in fact, the medium of comics – forward in some small way.

The hour-long panel was a relaxed one, with the panelists on stage – editor Michael Busuttill, Melissa Flores, Higgins, Groom, Rogue Sun writer Ryan Parrott, and Radiant Black guest artist Eduardo Ferigato – spending it talking about their individual titles and teasing what’s coming up.

Popverse filmed this and many others panels from C2E2 2022. These videos are available one of two ways - by becoming Popverse members at the 'Fan' level (or higher), or by buying a C2E2 digital ticket. The C2E2 digital ticet gives you access to live video panels streamed all three days of C2E2 from the Main Stage, VOD panels from two other stages, and access to all the great content from Popverse for 30 days. The Popverse membership does that for the entire year, and would include live video panels from the upcoming Emerald City Comic Con, New York Comic Con, and MCM London Comic Con in October.
