‘Shift’ one-shot collects Massive-Verse stories with new five-page story

Get a primer on new character Shift, set in the Massive-Verse.

Image Comics has revealed if you missed out on the four, five-page Shift stories—which were originally released in IMAGE! 30th Anniversary Anthology, you’re in luck as they’ll be repackaged in a new one-shot out on December 20th. That’s not all, the one-shot will feature one new five-page story by creators Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo.

“The mercenary bad boy antihero of the Massive-Verse, SHIFT, is a character who Daniele and I both have a blast creating stories for,” said Higgins. “With his continuing emergence in Radiant Black and across the Massive-Verse, we’ve been thrilled to be able to come back with one more story to cap off the “building a business” arc of Guy’s career.”

Di Nicuolo added: “Kyle and I had so much creating the best as@“&@! in town… you’re gonna love him as we do!”

Check out covers by Igor Monti and Di Nicuolo below.

PORTLAND, Ore. 09/14/2023 — Image Comics is pleased to present an extra-length one-shot containing the four, five-page Shift stories—which were originally released in IMAGE! 30th Anniversary Anthology—alongside a brand new five-page story by Shift creators Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo. This exciting one-shot out of the Massive-Verse is set to prime readers for Shift’s upcoming appearance in Radiant Black‘s THE CATALYST WAR and will hit shelves this December from Image Comics.

He’s tangled with Radiant Black and fought alongside The Dead Lucky—but who’s the man in the suit, and how did he assemble his team of contractors?

“The mercenary bad boy antihero of the Massive-Verse, SHIFT, is a character who Daniele and I both have a blast creating stories for,” said Higgins. “With his continuing emergence in Radiant Black and across the Massive-Verse, we’ve been thrilled to be able to come back with one more story to cap off the “building a business” arc of Guy’s career.”

Di Nicuolo added: “Kyle and I had so much creating the best as@“&@! in town… you’re gonna love him as we do!”

Shift one-shot will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 20:

  • Cover B by Di Nicuolo – Lunar Code 1023IM272

Shift will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

Higgins & Marcelo Costa’s breakout hit Radiant Black took superhero storytelling to new heights when it launched in 2021—but Radiant Black isn’t the only character inhabiting the growing Massive-Verse. Each character has a different story to tell, different adversaries to face… and they each occupy a very different corner of this shared superhero universe. Now’s the time to get into the Massive-Verse.
