Image Comics’ Massive-Verse is expanding once again. Kyle Higgins (Radiant black), Brian Buccelato (Chicken Devil), and artist Gerald Borges (Night wing) are creating a new series called NOBODY. This new series is designed to be a “true crime-style superhero drama” and runs for ten issues. It looks really cool and the preview pages are great!
The Richard Roe murders shocked the city of Pittsburgh. In the months since, the killings have sparked a dangerous political movement, copycat killers, and a masked vigilante who is still determined to hold the powerful accountable. Not a symbol. Not a hero. They could be anyone. I am no one.
It’s pretty exciting! However, NOBODY will be slightly different from other titles in the Massive-Verse as each month will have an accompanying original podcast titled Who is NOBODY/ONE. The podcast will be directed by Higgins and his Black Market Narrative will produce it with sound supervision by Matthew E. Taylormodification of Alec Sigeland marking of Kristofer Carter (Batman Beyond). Will stay Rachel Leigh Cook (She is all that) and Patton Osvalt (Minor threats) as a reporter for the Pittsburgh Ledger, Julia Paige and Teddy Barstow, respectively. With each new episode there will be exclusive posters of Marco Englert which will be available as “podcast variant” covers.
If that weren’t enough, there will also be an interactive alternate reality game narrative that cuts across social media accounts, websites, and other elements in the universe. We recommend that you follow and subscribe to these lists:

Speaking to io9 about the Massive-Verse and NO/ONE, Higgins said:
In 2011, I quit my job as a sound editor to write Batman, Nightwing and Deathstroke for DC Comics. Now, twelve years later, I couldn’t be more excited to return to my old roots for my next series in Massive-Verse. Brian, Geraldo and I, along with a host of wonderful collaborators, will explore the issues of our times through the mediums of our times, the news, politics and entertainment cycles that dominate so much of our lives. This is our ultra-contemporary take on an urban vigilante. Similar to Radiant Black, we’re excited to push the envelope on what a modern superhero experience can be.
Buccellato added:
I’m excited for people to be able to immerse themselves in our cross-media comedy experience because NO/ONE is not just a down-to-earth superhero crime story. I’ve been working in comics for almost 30 years and I can safely say that this series is unlike anything I’ve been a part of before. The world-building, allegory and multimedia experience bring a new level of immersion not only to superheroes, but also to the very ideas of responsibility and vigilance within modern society.
Borges shared:
I’ve been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with my childhood heroes, characters like Batman and Wolverine, for nearly 20 years. But now I have the opportunity to build something from scratch and tell a modern and original story with Kyle and Brian. NO/ONE is both a true crime story, with a great mystery, and something much more. I’m pushing my art in a direction I’ve never done before in comics – I have no words to describe how excited I am for people to see what we’ve built.
Fans can read NOBODY #1 on March 15 at their local comic book store or favorite outlet. The main cover features art by Borges with variations available featuring art by Englert and more.
