Welcome to new Japan (1-4). One of the joys of the original VH-1 universe was how large its tapestry was. The stories of the brothers dipped back into history, while Magnus, Rai, and the Future Force imagined a future that extended 2000 years, so it's great to see that concept resurrected for VH-E. 
 The new Rai comic is a bit of mystery, as we delve into the backstory of Rai and his Japan. Kindt cleverly grounds that by linking it all to a very human girl. He also manages to keep us guessing about everyone's motives. The result is a good read, backed up by entirely beautiful art [7/10].
