Radiant Pink is a five-issue miniseries published by Image Comics, written by Meghan Camarena and Melissa Flores, with art by Emma Kubert. It is a spinoff of Radiant Black and a part of the Massive-Verse. The series began in December 2022.
Eva (Radiant Pink) is still trying to help people through her streaming and superhero double life. While Eva is struggling to find any balance in her life, an accident occurs at a hospital she's visiting, and she and nearby EMT Kelly are shunted off to unknown locations when her powers fail. Now, they need to get home, and maybe have a little romance along the way. But, little does Eva know, Kelly played a direct hand in what got them there in the first place...
Radiant Pink contains examples of:
- Colour Motif: Obviously, pink is the series' main colour motif. The series is about a burgeoning romance between Eva and Kelly... supposedly.
- Continuity Nod: Issue #3 has Eva trying to use a portal and briefly peaking in on Apex City shunted in another dimension.
- First-Episode Twist: Kelly not being an altruistic EMT; she is part of the group that orchestrated the explosion and was only helping people to stay close to Pink to charge her vest. It's impossible to discuss the series or Kelly's role in it without mentioning this.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: Eva was already having difficulty controlling her powers due to overworking herself, and it eventually causes her to port herself and Kelly... somewhere.
- Heartbroken Badass: Eva still isn't over her girlfriend breaking up with her in Radiant Black #12
- Internal Reveal: Issue #2 ends with Kelly revealing her true nature, and that she's more concerned with money.
- The Mole: Kelly is one of the people using weapons charged through exposure to the Radiants, rather than an altruistic EMT like she acts. She's wearing a vest that charges based on being a Radiant being nearby, hence her being with Pink.
- Power Incontinence: After Eva and Kelly are teleported somewhere Eva didn't plan, from then on, Eva's portals rarely work how she wants them to.
- Rescue Romance: In a sense. Kelly flirts with Eva when they rescue people in a collapsing hospital as well as once they're lost, but it's not clear how much of this is just to keep close to her to charge her vest.
- Trailers Always Lie: None of the solicitations mentioned Kelly's true nature before the series debuted; they did the opposite, playing it up as a romantic story in its entirety.
- The Workaholic: Eva's friends and family are concerned that she's been working too hard, and only her best friend knows about her activities as Radiant Pink, making her think this even more. Eva has a complete breakdown after her portals malfunction.
- Would Not Hurt A Child: Kelly is meant to charge her vest off of Radiant Pink when a bomb goes off in a children's hospital, but doesn't want to put kids at risk. She's assured that the explosion will be minimal... which is a lie.
