RAI #6 by (w) Matt Kindt and (a) Clayton Crain
Let me shoot straight with you guys, there are 2 big reasons I’m reviewing this book. The first is because I’m a big sucker for Crain’s artwork. His art is what sucked me in to buying monthly comics right after I graduated high school. His cover for Venom and Carnage #1 is like nothing I had ever seen. He was the first comic artist I ever commissioned for a sketch. It’s hanging in my living room to this day.
The second reason is very simple. Since I’ve been active on twitter (about a week and a half) I’ve started following more comic publishers, writers, artists, editors, etc. Valiant Comics tweeted out a picture of Crain’s cover for RAI #6. I retweeted it, simply adding “that cover!”. Then, Valiant Comics retweeted my comment, which various people favorited. A big time comic book publisher retweeted something I said, and it got some hits. Well, as dumb as it might be, if Valiant is willing to take the time to do that for me, I’m going to review this comic.
