Rapture – Graphic Spotlight

Ninjas, Zombies, Gods, and Geomancers Collide! Yeah, It's Pretty Sweet.

Rapture Valiant Comics Matt Kindt

After the badass supernatural horror of Britannia, Valiant returns with a collection featuring two of their most iconic characters colliding in a realm between life and death. Rapture is the fight between life and death in the land where neither dominates. The most dangerous master spy in comics and the enigmatic master of the forces of voodoo are all that stand in the way of an elder god hell bent on piercing the heavens. Will they be enough to overcome the mountains of otherworldly threats?

New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (who’s been killing it on Valiant’s flagship title, X-O Manowar) and sensational artist CAFU weave a spellbinding journey into many worlds that lie beyond the one we see and believe in. The key to saving humanity will be a 12 year-old girl named Tama, the last of a line of mystics known as the Geomancers. She is the connection to the earth’s life force and has foreseen the coming battle. She knows that millions will die if she’s unable to stop it. It is she who will unite Shadowman, Ninjak, and cult favorite Punk Mambo together in this final battle.

Ever imagine J.R.R. Tolkein scripting a Clive Barker adventure with the cinematic flair of Guillermo Del Toro? If so, you’re somewhere in the realm of what Rapture offers. The book checks most every box we get new readers looking for on a daily basis: Character-driven? Check! Ninjas fighting the undead? Check! Epic art? Check! Standalone story? Check! Good price? Try $9.99. When was the last time Marvel or DC ever offered a graphic novel for $9.99? Seriously, can anybody answer that? If so, leave a note on our Facebook or Instagram accounts.

Rapture’s continuing Valiant Entertainment’s hot streaks of new releases in both single issues and collections. There’s nothing to lose, everything to gain. Did I mention Ninjas fighting an army of the undead?

Collecting RAPTURE #1-4.
