200 years from now, Rai is the positron(robot) protector of New Japan, a high-tech colony in Earth's orbit. New Japan thrives under the leadership of the mysterious "Leader," who gives all the orders and may or may not exist.
Broken into three arcs, this book follows Rai and a few companions he picks up along the way.
"Welcome To New Japan" introduces us to the rich world of the comic, and starts the story of what happens when Rai finds out he might be more than just a robot.
"The Fall of New Japan" is much like it sounds. Multiple factions within New Japan come together to end Father's reign.
In "The Orphan," Rai is stranded on Earth, the planet he's been taughth is a horrible wasteland.
Matt Kindt's writing is superb, as always. With Clayton Crain on art, the two create a science fiction world that's begging to be explored further.
Crain's art took me some getting used to. His digital paintings felt almost too slick to me at first. But their inorganic feel works for a comic about robots and technology.
An epic science fiction adventure about the meaning of both freedom and humanity.
