Radiant Red is an endlessly fascinating character in an ever-expanding universe, so the chance to carve out Satomi’s corner of the world with master storytellers like David and Miquel and our whole team of collaborators is a total dream come true. As her life gets more and more complicated, we’re delighted to have Cherish, David, and Miquel back together to continue what we started in Radiant Black-and Satomi’s story is just getting started. The last time we saw Satomi in Radiant Black, she and Marshall had finally buried the hatchet-but that doesn’t mean all her problems have gone away. Talking about this new miniseries, Higgins said: But with a mysterious stranger in her classroom, a nosy reporter on her doorstep, and $2.5 million hidden in the air vents of her house, she’s going to have to decide who she is, and quickly-before the world chooses for her. To the world, she’s Radiant Red, a criminal turned matter-absorbing superhero. To her fiancé and parents, she’s the rock of their family. To her students, Satomi Sone is a diligent middle school teacher. Her origin story was shown off in Radiant Black #6 which was written by Cherish Chen with art by David Lafuente and Miquel Muerto and that trio are coming back to do the miniseries called Radiant Red. We then got to see her become a good guy at least for a bit and help the other Radiants in stopping a new foe.
Fans then learned that Satomi Sone was the person behind the powers and how and why she started robbing banks. Radiant Red was introduced in Radiant Black as the first villain who looked very similar to the titular character but with a red and black coloring and slightly different abilities. It looks like Image Comics wants to further expand the universe though as Radiant Red is getting a miniseries this March. The 11th issue just released and we’ve got a crossover event coming soon with Mat Groom’s and Erica D’Urso’s Inferno Girl Red and Ryan Parrott’s Rogue Son.
With compassion and psychological insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.I’ve really enjoyed reading Kyle Higgins’ and Marcelo Costa’s series Radiant Black. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. Basquiat's heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988 at the age of 27. In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with "rock star status." He achieves critical and commercial success, though he is constantly confronted by racism from his peers. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. Summary: Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist.
