" Rai #1&amp;#039;s release date has been moved up. Valiant Comics will release Matt Kindt and Clayton Crain&amp;#039;s comic on April 30 instead of its original May date.      The publisher has released a trailer showing off the future setting of its latest release. &amp;quot;The year is 4001 AD - led by the artificial intelligence called &amp;#039;Father&amp;#039;, the island nation of Japan has expanded out of the Pacific and into geosynchronous orbit with the ravaged Earth below,&amp;quot; reads the Valiant description. &amp;quot;With billions to feed and protect, it has fallen to one solitary guardian to enforce the law of Father&amp;#039;s empire - the mysterious folk hero known as Rai. They say he can appear out of nowhere. They say he is a spirit... the ghost of Japan. &amp;quot;But when the first murder in a thousand years threatens to topple Father&amp;#039;s benevolent reign, Rai will be forced to confront the true face of a nation transformed... and his own long-lost humanity...&amp;quot;  The comic is part of the publisher&amp;#039;s Valiant First initiative. Rai features fully-painted artwork from Crain. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
