No one is above the law.

"To the hypocrites and the corrupt. The swindlers. The parasites. All those who take from your fellow man. Because—like all monsters—you believe yourself safe in the shadows. This message is for you. I am in the shadows, now. With you. And I will drag you all out. A better world is coming. Where all monsters will answer for their transgressions in the light of day."
- NO/ONE

NO/ONE is a 10-issue limited series, written by Kyle Higgins and Brian Buccelato, with art by Geraldo Borges and Mark Englert. It is published by Image Comics as part of the Massive-Verse. It began in March 2023.

Months ago, the vigilante hacktivist NO/ONE began exposing corruption in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Things escalated when a serial killer going by Richard Roe began killing those exposed by NO/ONE. While Richard Roe was eventually arrested, and revealed to be Aaron Kern, son of decorated police officer Ben Kern.

Now, the city of Pittsburg is caught in a wave of copycat killings inspired by Richard Roe, with the vigilante NO/ONE continuing to hold those in power accountable for their crimes.

NO/ONE is the first non-spin-off miniseries from the Massive-Verse. The series has a companion podcast, Who Is No One, which follows two reporters during the events of the series.


Radiant Pink contains examples of:

  • Anti-Hero: NO/ONE exposes the crimes of those in power knowing full well that serial killers will be gunning for them as a result.
  • The Cracker: NO/ONE is a hacktivist who targets those in power in Pittsburgh.
  • Civvie Spandex: The only especially superheroic part of NO/ONE's look is the helmet and cape, everything else is civilian clothing, if practical civilian clothing, like sneakers, a jacket and holster.
  • Jack The Rip Off: The series opens with killings imitating the Richard Roe killings. Apparently, there's already been two copycats before the current one.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Ben outlives one of his sons, Michael, who is shot four times in the chest by the copycat killer.
  • Poorly Disguised Pilot: The first issue spends a lot of its time setting up the spin-off podcast.
  • Super-Toughness: NO/ONE can take bullets and shrug them off.
