Synopsis[]

Geoff, the Geomancer frees the hero known as Bloodshot from Project Rising Spirit. Years later, Shadowman dies to rid the world of the Darque Power! After that, the deaths of Archer, Aric and Bloodshot are all precursors to the great Harbinger wars against Toyo Harada. During this struggle, the Blood of Heroes remains hiden. Finally, in 4002, Geomancer Rokland Tate bestows it upon Takao Konishi—the Last Rai![1]

Notes[]

  • Two different cover versions exist, a "Regular Version" and a "Glossy Version", however, the latter was never meant to be a variant version but was the result of a problem during the printing process.[2]
  • Rai #0: The Rejected Version [3]
  • Rai #0 cover silhouette a swipe? [4]
  • Unpublished Rai #0 panels [5]
  • A special expanded version of Rai #0 was planned (solicited) to be printed in the Rai (TPB) but in the end Valiant only reprinted the published story in the trade.
