![]() But when Rai is called upon to investigate New Japan's first murder in a millennium, everything changes. New Japan is crowded and sprawling, but relatively peaceful, protected my a mysterious cybernetic protector named Rai. Matt Kindt takes readers two thousand years into the future with this epic sci-fi adventure, generations after the island of Japan was taken over by an artificial intelligence named Father and launched into Earth's orbit in order to survive away from a dying planet. There are a lot of likable new (to me) characters in this one, and plenty of great art to eyeball while you unpack the mystery of New Japan. If you scratch the surface in New Japan, nothing is what it seems. Things should be perfect.īut synthetic humans aren't considered 'real' so there are all kinds of abuses, Father is full of weird propaganda, and there are rebels all over the place. Each gets a synthetic human companion when they turn 16, in order to combat loneliness and the probability that they won't have children. Humans have basically become immortal through medical advances. ![]() Father is this intelligent seemingly omnipotent being in control of every part of New Japan, including Rai. Set in a future Valiant universe, Rai is the protector of New Japan, a city that orbits the wasteland of Earth. ![]() I didn't realize it was sci-fi, and I probably would have picked it up a lot sooner if I weren't so.well, stupid. ![]() I know this is going to sound stupid but I always thought this was a fantasy-ish samurai thing. ![]()
