My rating is between 2.5 to 3, which means interesting enough to keep reading. The art is EXQUISITE.

this feels like a much matured version of Rai over the valiant hero from the 90's. the book maintains the hidden turmoil of the character with the same name, while updating it for a world full of post social media paranoia. the digital artwork, while off-putting at first, grew on me and feels appropriate for the setting, which is 100% what i'd expect a floating in low earth orbit in the year 4001 Japan would look like. one thing i did love about the valiant of the 90's was how each book felt connected, plot wise, to other books in the universe, and that feels absent here. Maybe that would be fixed in later stories(though Valiant no longer has the license for Magnus robot fighter :( )

Boa trade. Da escrita segura de Kindt à arte em tonalidades Blade Runner de Crain. Falta-lhe uma centelha extra para a elevação que a equipa e o título dão sinal de ser possível.

I'm a wee bit obsessed with this comic. Everything is amazing from the art to the story. It's like The Fifth Element meets Judge Dredd.
Super dooper highly recommend wow.

This book does a lot of setup for the 4001 timeline of the Valiant universe. I felt that this made the pacing on the first half of the story pretty slow. There was just too much to pick up on for the mystery portion to work. That being said, the second half of the book is great. It flips things around and drew me in enough to want to read the next volume.
The title character is a futuristic cop that is part human and part machine. His mission is to protect the people of New Japan, a giant space station orbiting Earth. When an unprecedented murder occurs, he is set on discovering who is behind it. There is a dystopian bent to this world. Rai's place in the story is a strange one because of the way the story unfolds.
The art is fantastic. It is much different from the other Valiant titles. The style is more like an anime, which is very fitting for the setting. Rai is checking out for the images alone.

Got interesting toward the end. I suppose if I knew more about the character the overall story would have made a bit more sense.
