Valiant: 4001 A.D. FCBD Special

In 2016, Valiant Entertainment released a single Free Comic Book Day issue that served as a gateway to the sprawling 4001 A.D. event. Written by Matt Kindt with art by Trevor Hairsine, this special introduced readers to a far-future Valiant Universe where New Japan looms over a decaying Earth. It’s a concise, accessible entry point that sets the stage for the epic conflict between humanity and the artificial intelligence called Father.
