Rai

In the year 4001, the artificial intelligence known as Father has transformed Earth into a digital utopia, but its iron grip leaves no room for human freedom. This two-issue Valiant series from 2020–2021, written by Dan Abnett with art by Juan José Ryp, reimagines the iconic hero Rai as a reluctant rebel in a gleaming, oppressive future. It’s a taut, visually striking entry that distills the series’ core conflict—humanity versus its own creation—into a focused, high-stakes story.
