From Image Comics and Black Market Narrative, writers Kyle Higgins and Brian Buccellato along with artists Geraldo Borges and Mark Englert bring you a true crime superhero noir set in the MASSIVE-VERSE! Not only that, the story continues in a podcast starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Patton Oswalt!

Gizmodo announcement: https://t.co/eTJTpxO44F

Last year, the digital activist known as NO/ONE doxxed four people of means. Two of them are now dead, four shots to the chest, and the third victim has taken it on himself to incite a proactive self-defense craze in Pennsylvania. Now, more bodies are turning up. But how did we get here? And how can we possibly fix what’s broken?

Subscribe to the podcast today at http://the-drop.info and make sure to follow @thedroppl on social media (twitter.com/TheDropPL) for in-universe coverage of all things NO/ONE and Richard Roe.

THE DEAD LUCKY video feat. AL1CE

Black Market Narrative 2023-02-03 | Image Comics and Black Market Narrative are pleased to unveil an exciting collaboration between Massive-Verse’s The Dead Lucky and dark wave band AL1CE in the form of an electrifying video trailer for the upcoming The Dead Lucky, Vol.1 by Melissa Flores (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and French Carlomagno (Radiant Black). This highly anticipated trade paperback release will collect issues #1-6 of the comic book series and be available from Image Comics in March.

AL1CE captures the tone and drama of the series and brings the artwork to life through their talents.

“The Dead Lucky is an inspired and deeply moving story by our truly gifted friend, Melissa Flores, said Tash Cox of AL1CE. "My favorite stories are the ones that leave specific imprints on your heart, and we all felt those tugs on ours when diving into The Dead Lucky universe through the eyes of Bibiana. Our intention in creating the music is to weave similar feelings that we had felt when reading Melissa’s powerful story. We are so honored and grateful for the opportunity of this beautiful collaboration.”

The Dead Lucky, Vol. 1 is set in a changing San Francisco and is centered around tech consortium MORROW. MORROW is buying up land—their peacekeeper robots looming on every corner—and wherever Morrow isn’t, the local gangs are.

Bibiana Lopez-Yang is changing too. The incident in Afghanistan that killed her platoon left her with a unique power to control electricity—but haunted by the ghosts of those she lost. With some unlikely friends, Bibi might just have a chance to save her city. But against an enemy this powerful, it won’t be enough to be good. She’ll have to be lucky.

Flores added: "When I set out to collaborate with an artist to create The Dead Lucky theme song, there was honestly only one choice I had in mind: AL1CE, who I’d been a fan of for years. I’m so flabbergasted and thankful that they said yes! AL1CE has written and performed a captivating and haunting song that perfectly sums up the complex emotion behind this book. And it’s an utter bop! I can’t wait for the fans to love it as much as I do."

The Dead Lucky, Vol. 1 (ISBN: 978-1534324664) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, March 22 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on Tuesday, March 28.

The Dead Lucky is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

INFERNO GIRL RED by Erica Durso, Mat Groom & Igor Monti video trailer | Image Comics

Black Market Narrative 2022-12-29 | Get ready for the latest addition to the Massive-verse! A blazing light of hope in the darkness--INFERNO GIRL RED ignites January 25!

http://infernogirlred.com

We all need something to believe in. Especially Cássia Costa.

An ancient cult and their army of demons have stolen Cássia’s home, Apex City. When a magical dragon bracelet rockets into her life and affixes itself to her arm, Cássia’s the only person equipped to stop the cult from offering the entire city to their dark lord.

There’s just one catch…

The magical bracelet is powered by belief, and Cássia — an intensely pragmatic, rational girl – doesn’t have much to spare. She’ll have to find something to kindle her faith, though, and fast —because she has a secret legacy to live up to. Because her mother’s life is on the line. And because Apex City needs Inferno Girl Red.

Trailer by Alec Siegel.

Nathan Burnett has just turned thirty and things aren’t great: He’s working (and failing) at two jobs, his credit card debt is piling up, and his only move… is moving back home with his parents. But when Nathan discovers and unlocks the ethereal, cosmic RADIANT, he's given the power to radically change his fortunes! There’s just one problem: the powers don’t belong to him. And the COSMIC BEINGS who created them want them back... by any means necessary.
