james_desantis 's review for:
Radiant Red, Volume 1
by Cherish Chen
Radiant Red is another book inside the Radiant universe and it's almost as solid as the rest.
Our main lead here is dealing with a lot. A partner who has a real addiction problem to gambling, her career kind of just stuck, and these new powers that she might have used to, um, rob a bank? This leads to people interested in her powers and a whole mess she's about to get involved in.
I think this works as a standalone, though if read Radiant Black there's a lot of cool callbacks to volume 1-2. I also think the character herself is interesting as she isn't as innocent as most superheroes are. She basically does what she must to survive, leaving her to do some, well, messed up shit to put it blunt.
The art is weird for me because sometimes I love it, the fights, and the world look. But the faces really do NOT match the dialogue at times, making sometimes angry faces look sad, or sad faces look happy, it's very off-putting sometimes to what the characters are saying.
But like most of the stories in this universe I'm heavily invested and want more. A 4 out of 5.
