Quick Review: Local Man (with Radiant Black)
Added 2024-03-27 21:43:35 +0000 UTCHere's a quick look at two Image series that have a similar theme. One is successful...the other less so.

My thoughts exactly.

I stuck it out for a few issues, but yeah… not compelling enough to stick with. If you’re gonna create a new superhero “universe” these days, it better be damned good

Local Man seemed cool I read the first issue, but he's so unlikable as a character I was kind of meh. RADIANT BLACK had a twist in issue 4, but it wasn't enough for me to stay on it.

2024-03-27 22:43:58 +0000 UTCInitially, I enjoyed Radiant Black as a play on a trope, but it got old. I am enjoying Local Man, despite having hated the Gen 13 era of super hero comics so much that it triggered a break from comic books of about 10 years.
