Rai is the first original character created for Valiant Comics, back in 1991. Created by Jim Shooter, Rai’s history has always been entwined with the entirety of the Valiant Universe, both from the distant past and in an uncertain future. To mark the 25th anniversary of the company’s shared universe, Valiant is releasing four one-shots, celebrating different classic stories and characters. We can exclusively reveal the third of these one-shots, “Rai: The History of the Valiant Universe” by Rafer Roberts and Francis Portela, due out in June.

The issue will span from “prehistory to the 41st century,” making it one of the most sprawling tales in Valiant’s history, and aligning it with “Rai” #0, which was one of the first looks into Valiant’s history back in 1992.

We have two exclusive covers, as well as the full press release to share with you below. Make sure to pick up the issue later this year.
