As the plot unfolds you find that the world is a much darker place than it initially appears and that almost no one appears worthy of trust and it makes for a fantastic read. I found myself fighting to put the book down, trying hard to resist the urge to tear through it in a single sitting as I wanted to savor the book and make it last. When it was over I was immediately disappointed that my time with the characters had come to an end. I found the slow unraveling of the facade of New Japan and the revelations within to be absolutely gripping and the artwork to be largely beautiful in a dark way. I want to know more of this messed up world and. I am not a fan of anime but I feel that it will largely appeal to that crowd.

RAI VOL. 1: WELCOME TO NEW JAPAN TPB | Valiant Entertainment The year is A. 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 But when the first murder in a thousand years threaten s to topple Father's benevolent reign, Rai will be forced to confront the true face of a nation transformed Rai 1 is one of my favorite Valiant books thus far. It hits all my buttons and why this scores so high with me is simple, Rai is the kind of comic that speaks to what I dig about comics. I love a comic with goes full speed ahead Rai: Welcome to New Japan Volume 1: Welcome to New Japan its concept and doesn't stop. Kindt and Crain created a large scale Japan that feels real by the end of the issue. The world is set, you know what shape the society is in, and now you can venture through at will. Anything is possible now, Rai 1 has my attention. This is going to be a cool series, don't miss out and grab the first issue. You won't regret it at all, this is going to be a big one and a great beginning to the Valiant First initiative. Read Full Review. With Rai 1, Kindt and Crain offer more than a promising start"they offer, each in their own way, a profoundly philosophical wrestling with the issues of our day, our lived-in battle between leisured hedonism and workaday toil, between popculture and "high" art, between print and digital. But the flawless beauty of Rai is that you simply don't need to approach the book only for its philosophical depth. If you're looking for nothing more than a beautifully visualized, engaging artifact of future noir, something the equal of Ridley Scott's gorgeous ziggurats in Blade Runner, then look no further. And for that mastery of both popculture and "high" art concerns, Rai 1 comes with the highest praise. For me this was a perfect 1 issue. Everything I needed to enjoy the issue is IN the issue and it left me craving issue 2. If you want to try something new give Rai 1 a shot. If every issue is as good as this one, Rai is going to be a permanent resident at the top of my "to read" pile every time a new issue hits the stands. For my money's worth, Rai 1 is an excellent comic and you should definitely Rai: Welcome to New Japan Volume 1: Welcome to New Japan getting it. In the press blurb for Rai we were told that the editorial staff and creators wanted to make some of the most compelling single issues of the year, I can honestly say that Kindt and Crain have certainly done just that. Now though the bar has been set and we will have to wait and see if they can keep this Rai: Welcome to New Japan Volume 1: Welcome to New Japan up. Valiant has a hit on their hands and Kindt and Crain make a perfect team to tell Rai's story. It's exceeds all expectations and will have you glued to the pages as you read. If this is the beginning of the "Valiant First" initiate then it's off to a great start. Rai is possibly the best new indie title to come along this year. This is an enjoyable read. This first issue treats the protagonist as if he were a myth, a legend and a rarity. But the events happening in Japan and the conclusion of this issue suggest that the people of Japan will be seeing a lot more of Fathers helper. Rai 1 is an excellent book for anyone to pick up and enjoy. Exploring a man who's both a hero and a legend to all. Not only this but questioning his purpose as one. This is a series I want to love and hopefully I do with each passing issue because Rai is not a perfect character and you want to see how that plays into him handling this situation. If you don't pick this up because you aren't familiar with Rai, surely do so for the fact that Matt Kindt is a very capable writer. Kindt characterizes Rai quite well in this book. He's a loyal soldier who is being forced to question everything he stands for. If this narrative plays out as strongly as it does in this issue, the entire series could be something special. And it's impossible to overstate how great Crain's work is here. The design of this world is awe-inspiring and his color work is a Rai: Welcome to New Japan Volume 1: Welcome to New Japan to behold. All that being said, this is way better than your average comic, and much more ambitious too. There's a lot to take in here, and it requires a lot from the reader but I respect that. It's almost too early to judge how effective this first issue isbecause there is such anexpansive world that needs to be unraveled.
