Why isn’t Radiant Black more of a conversation starter? It’s entertaining, it’s (getting) diverse in its cast of characters, and Kyle Higgins is writing. If that’s not enough incentive on its own to pick this book up, I just don’t know what is.
Radiant Black #7 is a return to the ever building momentum as the newly assembled Team Radiant figures out their mysterious powers while the unknown villain mercilessly hunts them for reasons unknown. Higgins’ script is really something special. It’s not just the dialogue or the action beats alone. He knows how to blend fun, hard hitting superhero action with quirky, FX primetime sitcom sensibilities to create an entirely different thing than either of those things has to offer by themselves.
Radiant Black #7 really keeps the action moving quickly while never losing track of who our heroes are. Our heroes aren’t particularly fond of each other (two in particular) and don’t show any signs of wishing to rectify that anytime soon. However, even with conflicting goals and personalities, they’re still working together on an instinctive level in the interest of survival. And the script goes out of its way to establish that Marshall is not even remotely the protagonist that his friend was. Nathan was always apprehensive and timid about looking towards danger. Marshall shoots from the hip and seems to almost purposely leap before he looks.
Meanwhile, the simplicity of Darko Lafuente’s artwork really brings out the everyman quality of Higgins’ script. These characters never quite look like superheroes as much as everyday people dressed like superheroes. It’s like characters from The Office walked into a science fiction movie.
Bottom Line: Radiant Black is a brilliant story for longtime comic fans and new readers alike. It’s exciting, relatable, and hilarious all at once. Absolutely worth the coin.
9 roles John Krasinski should be playing out of 10

Lookout only OnlyFans! It looks like a new sex-positive social media site is coming to town. Tyga took to Instagram on August 20 to announce that he would be unveiling his new Myystarr website that’s set to compete against the London-based company. The bold move comes just days after OnlyFans revealed that they would be banning sex workers and explicit content from their platform.
“Just deleted my OnlyFans, starting my own platform @myystar8 more futuristic, better quality & only 10% fee,” the “Rack City” rapper wrote. “Creators will also be able to make content of their choice!”
Tyga’s new and improved subscription-based website, that’s set to debut in October, is open to everyone from sex workers and celebs to podcasters and artists.
“I know how many people make a lot of money on OnlyFans, and that’s where most of their revenue is at,” Tyga told Forbes. “I want to give those people hope.”
In addition, Myystar content creators will be able to sell NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, a press release for the new company read. The new partnership will see Tyga team up with famed creative director Ryder Ripps who has lent his branding skills to artists like Azealia Banks, Travis Scott, and Kanye West.
The 31-year-old artist joined OnlyFans back in September and made a killing off the website charging fans a $20 monthly subscription fee. While he didn’t disclose how much he has actually made from the risque site, according to Influencer Marketing Hub, the star was reportedly the fourth top earner on the platform, allegedly raking in almost $8 million. His earnings slightly trail behind his ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna, singer-actress Bella Thorne, and Cardi B, who joined the platform back in August of last year.
3-months after launching his profile, the star created his own OnlyFans talent management company TooRaww which now boasts “more than two dozen clients,” Forbes notes. As of now, Tyga will be giving Myystar talent access to the website on an invite-only basis, according to his Instagram post.
What do you think of Tyga’s latest venture?
Time to make the donuts! Welcome to another fact-finding mission also known as Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse-airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 internet broadcasting platform. Join your ever consistent AFROnerdist hosts as they unpack their impressions concerning this week's topics: well, it finally arrived-James Gunn's similarly named reboot, The Suicide Squad (the preceding version simply dubbed Suicide Squad in '16) and it appears to be garnering a fair share of "thumbs up" reviews despite an unimpressive post pandemic box office-we have our thoughts; not only are blerds getting a new Blacula film but there's also a comic in the works; new music has hit the cyberwebs! our fellow Queensman, Nasir "Nas" Jones is back with a new album (can we still use that term?) entitled King's Disease 2 and then there's the HRB (His Royal Badness), Prince, with another LP (again, is this term still in use?) Welcome 2 America; the late Civil Rights icon, John Lewis is still enlightening folks with his March sequel, Run;
Dburt has been waiting years for this Brian K. Vaughan graphic novel to cinematic translation and it's purportedly debuting sometime in September. Check out the highly anticipated Y: the Last Man trailer:
Gospel legend, Shirley Caesar is selling her lovely Raleigh, NC manse for 1.5M and that within itself wouldn't be newsworthy except the "crib" does have a pretty swanky Star Wars themed home theater!
Gospel legend Shirley Caesar's house listing went viral for its movie theater full of Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia. https://t.co/iiaJsFIdk0 pic.twitter.com/7sGLehOazs

Let's jump right into the metaphysical "pool" shall we? Welcome to the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review broadcast-airing every Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100. Your cosmic-irradiated AFROnerdist hosts will be shedding light on the following (mid) weekly issues: we give our impressions of two rather high profile and very public breakdowns: First, concerning popular singer/entertainer, Melissa Viviane "Lizzo" Jefferson and her expletive-laced rant about fatphobic and racist detractors; And "batting second" is famed tennis star, Naomi Osaka, who became emotional while answering queries at a press conference for the first time in approximately three months; more details are coming out about the forthcoming Marvel film, Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings-early screenings are ranking the movie favorably but allegedly Chinese audiences are not warming up to the Asian-American leads; and then there's the continuing controversy with comedic actress, Nora "Awkwafina" Lum purportedly possessing a "blaccent"; the next DC Animated film will focus on Seline Kyle, entitled Catwoman: Hunted (will DC/Warner ever make an animated flick that's not Bat-family connected?); so Captain America 4 will star Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Anthony Mackie after all, huh?; Giving our thoughts about the latest episode of Disney+'s What If...? this time positioning T'Challa (voiced by the late Chadwick Boseman) as "Star-Lord" in a Guardians of the Galaxy remix;
We never did give you our thoughts about the third season of HBO Max's Titans which is airing in full swing; as suspected, NYU researchers are positing that conversation may stave off dementia (we're saving lives here at the machine, people!); does the return of Marvel's classic Amazing Fantasy comic book series also spell the "return" of racist tropes? Lastly, New York Comic-Con 2021 is returning but not without vaccine confirmation and mask mandates.
