Rai returns this winter with a new arc by the creative team of Matt Kindt and painter Clayton Crain. The pair hooked up for the first four issues, and Valiant (and fans) liked it so much, they let them take their time for another go at the future assassin/hero/tool/freedom - a heck, we don't know what to call him.

Check out this exclusive first look at Clayton Crain's art, and don't forget - there's a special pullbox edition if you pre-order at your shop.

Crain dit en interview vouloir rester le plus longtemps avec Kindt sur ce titre, vu que l'éditeur permet 3 mois entre chaque arc il y a l'air que ça convienne parfaitement aux auteurs.

Curieux mélange des genres pour Clayton Crain. J'espère qu'il ne va pas tomber comme certains dans les dessins faciles assistés par ordinateur (C.P. Smith si tu me lis c'est pour toi)

Je suis fan. J'espère juste que la narration de Mtt Kindt sera un peu plus ambitieuse, plus tonitruante car je suis quand même un peu resté sur ma faim lors du premier arc. Mais j'ai aimé l'ensemble.

D'après Rich Johnston l'homme que l'on voit sur la dernière planche est Matt Kindt himself.

Effectivement il lui ressemble pas mal et il a une étiquette Matt sur sa combinaison.
