“This is like fanboy wish fulfillment for me”, says VP of ComicCollectorLive.com Steve Boyd.
“VALIANT has been my one of my favorite publishers for years and many fans like myself
have always dreamed about having VALIANT action figures. Chance did an amazing job
bringing these Action Figure variant covers to life and I’m thrilled VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT
gave Comic Collector Live the thumbs-up on the project.”
One hundred years from today, Father – the benevolent artificial intelligence that governs the
island nation of Japan – will gain sentience. To defend its borders, Father will take drastic
action by launching Japan into space…where its people can thrive in isolation, away from the
overpopulated and resource-deprived planet below. Over the centuries, as New Japan orbits
our increasingly unstable world, it will become a model society – one built on peace,
prosperity…and Father’s control.
A thousand years from today, Father will create the first Rai, founding a lineage of
technologically enhanced heroes engineered to defend New Japan and sworn to protect it
from all enemies. For hundreds of years into the future, the Rai will single-handedly enforce
New Japan’s justice well…and serve Father without question.
Now, at the dawn of 4001 A.D., the latest Rai is about to inherit the dark truth behind the
origin of his kind…and discover the sinister secret at the heart of Father’s existence. For New
Japan to live, Earth must die…and as Rai challenges his former master for the first time in
more than a millennium, the lone guardian of New Japan will be cast out of his own Father’s
kingdom…
Exiled from the only realm he’s ever known, Rai now walks the ravaged world of 4001 A.D. in
search of forgotten heroes like himself…on a mission to collect the last surviving legends of a
broken planet…and to forge a rebellion with the power to bring the most advanced
civilization in history crashing back down to Earth.
Earth must rise. Father must fall. Rai! Eternal Warrior! X-O Manowar! Bloodshot!
Shadowman! Geomancer! And more! The war for the ultimate fate of humanity begins in
4001 A.D. #1 by superstar creators Matt Kindt and Clayton Crain – and continues in May and
beyond as THE SUMMER OF 4001 A.D. rages on…and changes the future of the Valiant
Universe for all time!
