Up to bat: Rai, issues 3 and 4!

We dig in to these issues, trying to work our way through the mysteries presented within.

Overall, this story has an epic feel, and the visual elements hint at a very interesting future.

What, exactly, is Rai? He seems to not just be a man, but not just be a machine. What do we know about what exactly he is? Our discussion brings us to making some parallels with another Valiant comic we read in the past, and sheds new light on Matt Kindt’s very first issue written for Valiant.

What’s the deal with Dr. Silk? His appearance in issue 3 turned everything from issue 2 on its head. Do we trust him? What’s he up to? What is the connection between Dr. Silk and Father?

Speaking of trust, do we trust any of the narrators in this story? Other than Lula, of course, she’s sweet as peaches.

Father. Why is he such a punk? Chiclo explains and defends the establishment. What is he anyway? We have wild guesses.

Then even more wild guesses.

Then there’s that companion Positronis girl. She’s rather conspicuous. Almost as conspicuous as Spylocke. Remember him and his sweet outfit? What do we think of his deal, after a couple more issues?

Does the exhaust process of Orbital Japan explain the future we saw in the Eternal Emperor story?

Oh, yeah. And the end. I guess we talk about that too.
