Rai

Set in the far future of the Valiant Universe, this 2014 series reimagines the legendary hero Rai as a new champion for a techno-dystopian Japan. Written by Matt Kindt with striking painted art by Clayton Crain and Cafu, the four-issue run explores themes of artificial intelligence, identity, and rebellion against a ruling A.I. known as Father. It’s a visually immersive, standalone sci-fi saga that deepens Valiant’s mythos while offering a fresh entry point for new readers.
