‘Radiant Black’ debuts as Image Comics’ first-ever audiobook

Massive-Verse architect Kyle Higgins writes, directs and narrates the production, with ‘Boy Meets World’ co-stars Rider Strong and Will Friedle heading the cast.

Radiant Black: The Audiobook, Volume One is now available on Spotify, LibroFM, Everand and other platforms. This marks the first audiobook adaptation of an Image Comics title.

The production, from Black Market Narrative, is written, directed and narrated by Radiant Black co-creator Kyle Higgins, with Rider Strong and Will Friedle from the sitcom Boy Meets World voicing leads Nathan Burnett and Marshall Ward. Friedle previously voiced Marshall Ward in the secret animated short hidden behind a QR code in Radiant Black #15. The audiobook features cinematic sound design by Higgins and an original score by Sam Ewing, who worked on the music for The Walking Dead.

“When Eric Stephenson and Lorelei Bunjes first pitched me the idea of doing Radiant Black in audio, I knew that to do it right would be a huge undertaking,” Higgins said. “This project has been a true labor of love for our team. From assembling our amazing cast to recording, design, narration, score, and our final mix, this has been an incredible experience at every turn.
