Series continued from Rai #8, returns as Rai following issue #24

Set in the same doomed future that Magnus Robot Fighter inhabits, this series continues the story of that war against robots gone amok. Here, a new Rai fights side by side with Magnus, Leeja, and other brave humans against the Malev robot menace. Their battle spans the entire globe, from the overrun cities of North Am to the mechanized island that once was Japan.
