What drew you to the exquisite corpse method as a structural framework—and how did it shape your writing process across collaborators?2. You've said before that horror lets you explore personal fears in metaphorical ways—what fear sits at the heart of Exquisite Corpses for you personally?3. This project is filled with shifting tones and visual voices—how did you maintain thematic cohesion across multiple artists and chapters?4. You've tackled horror through multiple lenses—from psychological horror in The Nice House on the Lake to body horror in Something is Killing the Children. Where does Exquisite Corpses fall on your personal horror spectrum?5. You've spoken about burnout and choosing joy in your writing—did this collaborative process reawaken anything in you creatively?6. There's a class warfare element baked into the DNA of Exquisite Corpses. How important was it for you to make that commentary explicit rather than just subtext?7. You're known for big ideas in genre fiction. Was there ever a version of Exquisite Corpses that could've been a prose project or TV pitch—or was comics always the only way this could work?8. What's one element in Exquisite Corpses—a character, twist, or scene—that you're most excited for readers to finally experience, but can't say anything about yet?

In this episode of Geek Freaks Interview, I'm joined by comic creator Kyle Higgins, the visionary behind Radiant Black and the ever-expanding Massive-Verse. Kyle dives into how he built a creator-owned superhero universe at Image Comics and walks us through the evolution of Radiant Black, the challenges of dual timelines in Catalyst War, and the collaborative process behind Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red. We also talk about the audio book, animated promos, and his thoughts on live-action vs. animation adaptations. Whether you're new to the Massive-Verse or a longtime fan, this conversation is a deep look into one of comics' most ambitious storytelling worlds. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Kyle Higgins 00:26 What is the Massive-Verse? 01:16 Radiant Black and its millennial superhero tone 03:34 The structure and accessibility of the Massive-Verse 05:07 Audiobook updates and voice talent reveals 06:59 Animated promos and creative marketing 08:03 The origin of Radiant Black and its influences 11:14 How Power Rangers and Toku storytelling shaped the series 14:15 Managing canon and creative direction in a multi-title universe 15:50 Writing dual timelines for Catalyst War 19:14 How the fan vote shaped the story's direction 24:06 The "Rebuild Era" and aftermath world-building 27:33 Proliferation of 001 tech and rising threats 30:19 Rogue Sun's new direction and layered family dynamics 33:37 Appreciation for the design and narrative tone of Rogue Sun 34:10 Live-action vs. animation: which is best for Radiant Black? 36:44 Navigating rights, control, and studio offers 40:28 Where to find the comics and meetups with the team Key Takeaways: The Massive-Verse is a creator-owned, shared superhero universe with interconnected titles that can also stand alone. Radiant Black explores modern adulthood and friendship through a fresh superhero lens, inspired by Power Rangers and 90s nostalgia. The dual timeline storytelling in Catalyst War was one of the hardest yet most rewarding challenges of Kyle's career. The team is exploring creative and immersive ways to promote the comics, including animated promos and an audiobook with a star-studded voice cast. Live-action adaptations are possible, but only if the creators are in full control of the production. The new "Rebuild Era" reflects the consequences of superhero battles and explores what comes after the big events—something rarely addressed in comics. Rogue Sun is shifting its spotlight with a new lead character, deepening its themes of family and legacy. Quotes: “I want this to be a superhero book that celebrates being a fan of superheroes.” – Kyle Higgins “You're either a Nathan or a Marshall... and you have a friend that's the other one.” – Frank “Animation's great. But if we're doing an adaptation, we want full control. No compromises.” – Kyle Higgins Call to Action: Enjoyed the episode?

Was it your own writers block?Can you describe the creative journey behind developing Seth Holms as a character struggling to write a happy ending?The comic is described as a "love letter to the Italian slasher genre"—how have films like those of Dario Argento influenced your storytelling and visuals?13How do you balance the elements of horror, gore, and B-horror camp with a critique of our cultural obsession with true crime?I really liked how, in a scene set in the narrative, you call back to the fact we're in the story within the story via lettering, was that in the script or Hassan's idea?With He Came in with a Smile as a backdrop, how does Seth's past impact the unfolding narrative in this new miniseries?What are some of the challenges you faced while infusing both literary and cinematic influences into a cohesive comic book experience?In what ways do you hope readers engage with the commentary on true crime fandom as they dive into this dark, twisted world?If you discovered that your own stories were coming to life, which character from 'You'll Do Bad Things' would you least want to encounter in a dark alley, and how would you try to escape their clutches?

As we turn the page onto season 2, looking back at the first 12 issues, is there anything you would tweak or do differently?Luigi, you've worked with Wyatt long enough to have plenty of banter about "bizarre demands." Can you describe a moment where Wyatt's vision challenged or inspired you to take the art in an unexpected direction?The series mixes playful moments with genuine horror. For both of you, what's your approach to balancing these tones, and are there horror or non-horror works that directly influenced this?I gotta ask, nudity in this title is a curious one. Sometimes we see things, sometimes genitals are covered up, what gives?!The series takes place across both mundane and fantastical locations—Estonia's cold landscapes and Las Vegas's vibrant excess are especially highlighted in Nights #13. What's the significance of setting in this arc, and how did you choose those locations?If Vince, Gray, Tsukumari, and the rest of the crew formed a rock band, what would their band name be, and what kind of music would they play?

What inspired the decision to begin this new "Rebuild" era, why now? How do Radiant Black #31 and Rogue Sun #25 serve as jumping-on points for new readers?For Kyle (Radiant Black): With Marshall now fully stepping into the role of Radiant Black post-Catalyst War, what unique challenges will he face, both as a hero and as a person, in this new chapter?For Ryan (Rogue Sun): Aurie's sudden emergence as a second Rogue Sun in issue #25 raises plenty of questions. Can you tease a bit about her background and how her relationship with Dylan will evolve?Why didn't you renumber with #1 issues?For both: The theme of legacy plays a big role in both Rogue Sun and Radiant Black. How does the idea of who "deserves" to be a hero shape the stories you're telling in this new era?Massive-verse movie I Am No/One update? Fun question: If Marshall and Dylan were forced to swap cities — Marshall in New Orleans and Dylan in Chicago — who would handle the switch better, and which city's villains would give them the most trouble?Kyle I'd be remiss not to ask: Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse, anything you can tease?

Jace welcomes Kyle Higgins back to the show to chat about the new era of Radiant Black. Dubbed 'Rebuild" the story picks up about 5 months after the momentous events of the Catalyst War. Marshall is the one and only Radaint Black now with Nathan Burnett having decided to head back to California to pursue other opportunities. So great for Marshall now that he has full control of the Radiant all the time, right? Not so fast, the wreckage and devastation from the war remain and the consequences of that and how the public percieves Radiant Black may prove to be Marshall's toughest challenge yet. There's tons to unpack in issue #31 which returns Radiant Black to it's monthly schedule. Kyle teases what's to come with some details on a new villain, an upcoming crossover and a whole lot more. Join us to get all the details!
Writer Kyle Higgins joins the show to talk about his career and his work on Radiant Black and The Massive-Verse. Higgins discusses the power of curiosity, how creating changes your relationship with the creation, Radiant Black as a response to his career to date, the importance of other people, his journey as a creator, the origins of Radiant Black, how The Massive-Verse became what it is, its improvisational nature, its leads, the biggest things they've gotten right and wrong to date, what makes comics such a draw, and more.
It's time for the REBUILD era to begin, and Kyle Higgins made a point to join the guys ahead of the start of the next chapter of the MASSIVE-Verse at Image Comics. FOC for Radaint Black #31 is on February 3.

Can you tell our listeners what the Horizon Experiment is all about?We understand it started over the debate of Idris Elba as James Bond. Tell us a bit about that.- Do you feel that dream movie would still disappoint? Is it inherently impossible for an established IP to take those kind of risks?Something interesting about this project is the notion that it's “designed to act as pilots for follow-up books if sales merit.” Do you have a number in mind for a series to flourish from a one-shot, and if one of the one-shots does merit a series how will you let fans know?Tell us about your collaboration process with co-editor Will Dennis.Were there any pitches you got but they didn't make the cut for this first five?Tell us about working with the Dodsons and Jeff Powell on The Manchurian.We'd be remiss not to ask about Absolute Power Task Force VII #4, with a focus on Batman super robot Failsafe! This series has a different creative team each issue, and you're teaming with Claire Roe on this one, was DC actively accepting pitches for this or did it come about organically?Anything else you'd like to plug today?

Jace chats with the creative minds behind Black Market Narrative. From their action-packed Massive-Verse titles to the true crime noir feel on the streets of Pittsburgh that we get in No/One, it's clear that this group is at the top of their game. Kyle Higgins kicks it off with some exciting news about an upcoming No/One feature film that is going to level up the immersion of this story even beyond the amazing podcast that already accompanies the series. Plus Kyle talks a bit about getting back in track with Radiant Black starting next year when the book will go back to being released once a month. Brian Buccellato, Kyle's writing partner on No/One chats with us about conspiracies and the end of the series with issue #10 that may see some fans wondering why they question of No/One's identity was left unanswered. Melissa Flores talks about The Dead Lucky and what comes next for Bibi now that she has driven Morrow out of San Francisco. We finish up with Ryan Parrott, who has taken Rogue Sun on quite a journey already, but it's safe to say, there are a lot of villains to come!

C.O.W.L. was your firs creator-owned at Image, but since that launched you've got the Massive-verse roaring, how have you changed working on projects since C.O.W.L. was first launched?Its been 9 years since you've explored the world of COWL with Alec Siegel and Rod Reis, why was now the right time to launch COWL 1964?I feel like COWL is a compelling look at the politics of superheroes, under the guise of the 60s, have the current politics of today influenced this upcoming series?Back when COWL vol. 1 came out Entertainment Weekly said it was “"Mad Men meets Heroes in '60s Chicago." With those references dated and COWL 1964 a different project, how might you describe the upcoming series using TV references?For a reader who may think the 60s isn't their bag, how might you pitch COWL 1964 to them?You've collaborated with a lot of great writers and artists, including Mat Groom, Joe Clark and now Bear McCreary & Kid Cudi. Any tips for working with a co-writer?I know you love to play around with different media formats for the Massiveverse, and that's continuing with the audiobook version of Radiant Black. What made an audiobook the best format?

What does the future hold for our late-stage capitalist society with mega-corporations owning and controlling everything? How can the world-building skills of the makers of films and comics help us imagine a better future?Kyle Higgins is an Eisner award-nominated #1 New York Times best-selling comic book author and award-winning filmmaker known for his work on DC Comics' Batman titles as well as his critically-acclaimed reinventions of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for Boom! Studios/Hasbro, Ultraman for Marvel Comics, and his creator-owned series Radiant Black, NO/ONE and Deep Cuts for Image Comics. Kyle is the founder and creative director of Black Market Narrative and The Massive-Verse.Karina Manashil is the President of MAD SOLAR. After graduating from Chapman University with a BFA in Film Production, she began her career in the mailroom at WME where she became a Talent Agent. In 2020, she partnered with Scott Mescudi and Dennis Cummings to found MAD SOLAR. Its first release was the documentary “A Man Named Scott” (Amazon), and she then went on to Executive Produce Ti West trilogy “X,” “Pearl” and “MaXXXine” (A24). Manashil received an Emmy nomination as an Executive Producer on the Netflix animated event “Entergalactic." She also produced the Mescudi/Kyle Higgins comic book “Moon Man” which launched through Image Comics. She is next producing the upcoming Mescudi/Sam Levinson/The Lucas Bros film “HELL NAW” (Sony) and the animated feature “Slime” from auteur animator Jeron Braxton.The Making of Moon Man“So, as we started talking and going through what this could look like. I run a creator-owned superhero universe at Image Comics called the Massive-Verse, which is spearheaded by the main book I write called Radiant Black.
