Rai #0

Post by ManofTheAtom »

I'll try to point out which issues repeated the events shown in Rai #0 and which ones were not.

Pages 1 through 4, Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps.

Those were repeated in Rai Companion.

While the three panels with the H.A.R.D. Corps did not repeat, they did lead into H.A.R.D. Corps #5.

Pages 5 through 7, X-O Manowar and Bloodshot.

Secret Weapons #1.

Pages 8 through 10, Shadowman and Archer

Nowhere, or Unity 2000 if you're so inclined.

Pages 11 and 12, Bloodshot.

Bloodshot's death was repeated in Rai #32 and #33, the Bad Penny two-parter.

Pages 12 (continued) through 16, Harbingers.

Much of this was repeated in the Harbinger Wars trilogy in Timewalker, while Magnus received the letter Kris wrote to him in Magnus #25.

Pages 16 (continued) 17, Solar.

Deathmate

Pages 17 (continued) through 18, Harbingers.

Timewalker again.

Page 18 (continued), H.A.R.D. Corps.

Psi-Lords more than likely.

Pages 19 and 20, Rai

Secrets of the VALIANT Universe #3.

Pages 21 through 22, Rai.

Are unique to this comic, but lead into Rai & The Future Force.

Awesome! I forgot it was Rai Companion and Secret Weapons #1 where those early Bloodshot scenes were fleshed out. A bit ironic that Joe St. Pierre was the writer/artist on SW #1 since he was the penciler for the original version of Rai 0 that's been mostly lost to time.

I'll have to re-read Bad Penny. Secrets of the VU #3 is one of my faves. Thanks for the research :thumb:
