There you have it folks! Get out there and pick up any issues of this event, or the Rai series, that you maybe missing. Between the fantastic writing, art, and letters from many different teams, I would have to rate this event, and the this issue, a 6 out of 5 stars! Read Full Review
Between Divinity II and this series, Matt Kindt has written some of the best comics I've read all summer, and his conclusion to 4001 A.D. solidifies the story as one of my favourite event style stories I've read in a long time. Read Full Review
With excellent artwork by Clayton Crain and a terrific story by Matt Kindt, it's a strong mini-series and a great springboard for Rai. Read Full Review
Regardless of the very minor things I dislike, this is one of the best issues I've seen from Valiant so far! 4001 A.D. #4 is an exciting and beautiful experience that shouldn't be missed. Read Full Review
The issue on it's own was pretty good. I really love the future timeline in the Valiant Universe, so having not one but two series set there plus 4 one shots, has all lead to an enjoyable story for me. It's been a great summer for Valiant, and hopefully that continues on into the fall. The issue was good, the series was great overall a win. Read Full Review
4001 A.D. was a wide, cinematic ride that Kindt allowed this future to truly grow and florish, which the characters within it. Kindt's writing felt a lil breezy here, but still gave a satisfying ending to the event and character arcs of Rai and Lula. Crain gives the artist tour de force here, giving some of the most stunning, beautiful issues in comics today. The cinematic panel work gave bold perspectives and really made this final issue feels as huge as the event is supposed to be. 4001 A.D. # 4 brought us a finale that was epic, satisfying, gorgeous and truly hopeful as our team wrapped up a long war in the most beautiful way possible.

4001 A.D. #4 is a gratifying end to the event miniseries. It is both an epilogue and a promise of a tantalizing new future. The synergy between the copy and art make this book, and the event as a whole, a must-read. Read Full Review
The ending is predictable, but it does a good job depicting the end to Kindt and Crains time with 4001. Read Full Review
4001 A.D. #4 is the perfect epilogue issue. We get at the core of Rai's motivation, see some truly awe inspiring science fiction scenes, and get a good sense of where the story can go from here. Read Full Review
4001 A.D. #4 dedicates much real estate to setting up the future of Rai's story, grinding the issue's pace to a halt. Though it is to the issue's overall detriment, Kindt and Crain wisely employ the technique of "show, don't tell." And readers are shown an Earth that is teeming with life and civilizations that the citizens of New Japan were previously unaware of. Read Full Review
This is basically the epilogue to this story, focusing on how much better life is for the survivors now... But it's a rather barbaric story when you look at it from the outside. It's not dwelling on the fact that millions of innocent people perished in order to bring this nation back to earth, and for what? Because Father was a cold dictator? Could the terrible things he did possibly top the massive death count that Rai is now responsible for? I would have liked to address tough questions like this in further depth rather than in just a few captions.
