Exciting Radiant Black #43 Secret Covers revealed
PORTLAND, Ore. 06/05/2026 — Bestselling creative team Kyle Higgins, Joe Clark, and Marcelo Costa sprung a massive, mic drop moment in the most recent Radiant Black #42 issue with the surprise return of a beloved character. This story arc’s jaw-dropping finale kicked off a flurry of buzz among the fandom and a spike in demand that triggered an immediate sell-out at the distributor level. Image Comics will fast-track this must-read issue this week to keep up with growing demand.
“It’s really exciting when you get to an issue that’s been years in the making and that’s definitely the case for Radiant Black #42,” said Higgins. “This ending has been one that we’ve been building to since the Catalyst War and we’re so excited about what it means for the book going forward. We can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”
As Jack Marlow's parade marches the streets of Chicago, Radiant Black and Horizon are set on a collision course from which neither will emerge unscathed! Readers won't want to miss this 5th anniversary issue with an ending that once again will change Radiant Black forever.
