"The art is simply amazing. It's detailed and lush. No corners are cut
anywhere..." -- Kirkus
The year is 4001 A.D. Led by the artificial intelligence called
"Father," the island nation of Japan has expanded out of the Pacific and
into geosynchronous orbit with the ravaged Earth below. With billions to
feed and protect, it has fallen to one solitary guardian to enforce the
law of Father's empire - the mysterious folk hero known as Rai. They say
he can appear out of nowhere. They say he is a spirit...the ghost of
Japan. But when the first murder in a thousand years threatens to topple
Father's benevolent reign, Rai will be forced to confront the true face
of a nation transformed...and his own long-lost humanity.
Collects issues #1-4 of Rai, an all-new vision of the future from
comics superstars Matt Kindt and Clayton Crain.
