Image Comics announced Radiant Black, the popular series by Kyle Higgins and Marcelo Costa is getting the audiobook treatment with a full voice cast.
Radiant Black: The Audiobook, Volume One will be the first in a planned series of audiobook adaptations from Black Market Narrative and Image Comics, adding another level of immersion to the critically and commercially acclaimed Massive-Verse. It is the first ever audiobook adaptation of an Image Comics title and is slated to release later this year.
So far, Rider Strong has been cast as Nathan Burnett and Will Friedle will play Marshall Ward.
“One of the things I love about Radiant Black is the way it constantly looks to push the boundaries on what a comic book—much less a superhero comic book—can be,” said Friedle. “Whether it’s huge twists or blacklight issues or secret animated films or dual timelines under variant covers, Kyle and the team put everything they have into this universe and I could not be more thrilled to come back and voice the obviously-much-better Radiant Black, Marshall Ward. Sorry, Rider!”
Radiant Black began with Nathan Burnett, a down-on-his luck 30-something still trying to find his way in the world. When Nathan discovers the ethereal, cosmic RADIANT, his whole world is turned upside down—and when his best friend Marshall gets involved, things become even more complicated. Now an alien army—vaster than the stars—descends upon Earth and together the two must make the biggest decision of their lives: which of them will be Radiant Black? Two timelines will be tested in the trials of THE CATALYST WAR—and neither will escape unchanged!
Radiant Black the audiobook does not have a release date yet, but we will all be watching radiant.black/audiobook for updates.
