4001 A.D.

Set in the year 4001, this Valiant Entertainment miniseries from 2016 imagines a far-future Japan where the island nation has become a massive, technologically advanced city-state. Written by Matt Kindt with striking, painted artwork by Clayton Crain, the story explores the tension between the immortal dictator Father and a growing rebellion, expanding the publisher's mythology into a bold sci-fi landscape. It matters as a key piece of Valiant's line-wide event storytelling, offering a self-contained epic that reimagines classic characters in a distant, cyberpunk-tinged era.
