RAI (2014)
"4001 A.D. TIE-IN! Rai locked in fatal combat against the true protector of New Japan? As New Japan's current protector, Aboto, slips beyond Father's control, nothing can stop the unhinged warrior from destroying the orbiting nation from the inside out. To defeat this monster of his own making, Father must create his last and greatest Rai! But when Father's fallen son and newest champion clash in the the streets of their sovereign nation, what dark information will Aboto bring into the light of day and how will it fuel the flames of rebellion that await in the year 4001 A.D.? The future as we know it takes its final horrifying shape here as 4001 A.D. mastermind Matt Kindt and fan-favorite artist CAFU reveal the final puzzle piece behind Valiant's summer blockbuster event!"
"The rise of New Japan's greatest champion! As Father erects his floating kingdom of New Japan, nothing will stop him from asserting complete control over the millions who now fall under his gaze! And to ensure total subjugation, he will create the greatest 'spirit guardian' New Japan has ever known - the fourth Rai! But as Father unleashes his most powerful warrioryet, has even he gone too far in his bid for absolute power? Join 4001 A.D. mastermind Matt Kindt and fan-favorite artist CAFU as they continue to unearth the missing links connecting the world of today with 4001 A.D.'s empire of tomorrow!"
