The Pulse:
More cartoony art than I would like, but it turned out to be a nice contrast to the very real, sad and relatable story being told before the alien super-powers kick-in. 7 out of 10.

We open with a creators credits page.
Let’s get caught up The Radiants:
- Radiant Black is Marshall after taking on the mantle from his friend Nathan who was badly injured.
- Radiant Red is Satomi.
- Radiant Yellow is Wendell.
- Radiant Pink is Eva.
They have now just met and have been confronted by someone I shall call the Ultimate Radiant for now; if I missed their nom du guerre drop my a line with it please.
All four Radiants are badly beaten by the Ultimate Radiant and end up being teleported to Japan to end the battle.
They share intel that the Ultimate Radiant has been following Wendell and Eva so…
…Marshall has a plan to attract them to the Radiants.
However, he doesn’t have time to enact the plan as the…
…Ultimate Radiant is upon them…
…resulting in Marshall and Eva being teleported into a battle somewhere else in space and…
…quickly teleporting back to avoid death.
So, Radiant Black and Radiant Pink end up in Russia while…
…elsewhere Radiant Yellow and Radiant Red find a prone Ultimate Radiant to interrogate?!
