Last Epic from Valiant

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

This is the last great Valiant book but what a way to go. Rai by Kindt was a 10/10 masterpiece and this is the final part. Epic in every way, nothing that followed this 2016 story equalled the heights Valiant Entertainment achieved from 2012 to 2016.

Great addition to our collection. But binding issues beware.

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018

This has been a great story with art from many talented artists. My husband and I are loving the Valiant Deluxe Edition books. The spine is a half sown/glued spine. Weve had issues with sown spines being undone before. This one arrived in perfect condition BUT the sown/glued spine is already come apart upon opening the book. Is it how it was stored or a product defect? But no dents or dings! So that's a plus!

Epic sci fi from Valiant

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This deluxe edition of 4001 AD wraps up the fantastic sci fi saga begun in the first 12 issues of Rai in addition to providing context and world-building to the amazing Valiant universe of 4001. The real meat here is the four issues of 4001 AD by Matt Kindt and Clayton Crain,which concludes the direct story begun in Rai, and is without a doubt the best part of this book. The conclusion is epic, satisfying, and will leave you yearning for this creative team to revisit this universe sometime in the future. It is some of Kindt's best writing outside of Divinity, and Crain's art is just spellbinding. Some of the best art I've ever seen in any comic book.

This hardcover also contains Rai 13-16, which serves as a prequel to the events of Rai 1-12 and 4001 AD. Here we learn more about how New Japan came to be in the state that it's in, and about the previous Rai's who were its knights. These issues are a mixed bag, with some peak moments (Rai 13 is one of the most devastating single issues I've read) and others that felt a bit like filler. Good context to have, but it almost feels like a story that could've been told in a couple of issues as opposed to 4, and inserting them in the midst of the main story feels like it messes with the pacing a bit.

Lastly, there are the one shot issues that highlight the various Valiant heroes of the 4001 universe, and while these too are a mixed bag, they're fascinating regardless and do a good job of adding richness to the world. The XO Manowar issue is a bite sized story that is regardless extremely cool and ties directly into 4001. The Bloodshot issue is good and contains some typically fine writing from Jeff Lemire, despite feeling like the most unnecessary offshoot of the bunch. The Shadowman story was not very good and probably my least favorite part of this entire edition, despite having a very cool premise that I feel could have really been the best story here had the execution been more solid. And lastly there is War Mother, a new and very promising character that stars in a solid story here that looks to be an exciting way for Valiant to stay in this universe going forward.

This deluxe edition, despite its occasional inconsistencies, remains one of the most exciting and engaging sci fi stories I've read in comics, and is a universe I can't wait to see Valiant return to some day. Be sure to read the masterful issues of Rai leading up to this before taking the plunge into 4001, and be treated to the ultimate sci fi saga from arguably the best publisher in comics today.
