Image's Radiant Black #24 Has Massive Hidden Fan Voting Easter Egg

Courtesy of Radiant Black there’s a possibility that some iconic Image character will be making a cameo appearance in the Supermassive 2023 one-shot.


Something is afoot over in the Massive-verse this week. We're hearing that today's Radiant Black #24 has another one of Kyle Higgins' sneaky QR codes buried somewhere in its pages that redirects to a Website allowing readers to cast their vote—not for Biden, DeSantis, Kennedy or Trump, but for who will be Radiant Black? What's this mean exactly? Will Radiant Black's fate really lie in the hands of those who choose to participate in these Massive-shenanigans? It would seem so and it's an interesting gamble for a creator to make nowadays. And let's not forget that this will be leading into the next issue, Radiant Black #25—which we were promised will kick off The Catalyst War:

But a little bird has told me that that's not the only surprise the Massive-Verse has in store for fans lately… there's a possibility that some iconic Image character will be making a cameo appearance in the Supermassive 2023 one-shot hitting shelves on 24 May.

Okay, we don't even need to press our source inside Image for this—we're going to call it right now that Spawn is going to show up in Supermassive. He recently showed up in Killadelphia #30, and he did those Team-Up cover appearances back in December. We feel pretty sure Spawn's on the loose and that he'll be in Supermassivetoo! Our little bird at Image says only, the Massive-Verse certainly does seem like a place Spawn might like to pay a visit, doesn't it?

And if that's the case, is this further indication that something is brewing at Image in terms of larger scale universe-building, as hinted at here? Outside of the Toddfather's burgeoning Spawn Universe, the Image Universe as a whole has been more or less dormant since 2009's ill-fated Image United, but with creators like Kyle Higgins, Geoff Johns, and Robert Kirkman piecing together their own pocket universes, is it possible it's all part of a scheme to develop an all-encompassing Image… Multiverse?

So there you have it, folks—three key collectible issues you're going to want to get your hands on: Radiant Black #24, Supermassive 2023 one-shot, and Radiant Black #25—with the potential for this all to turn into much, much more.
