Fallen World is a 2019 limited series from Valiant Entertainment written by Dan Abnett with art by Adam Pollina. The series is set in the 41st century of the Valiant universe, a future shaped by the events of the 4001 A.D. crossover event. It follows Rai and Bloodshot in a ruined landscape as they deal with the consequences of New Japan’s fall from orbit and the resulting devastation on Earth below.

The collection also includes two related prose fiction works: Životy, Které Jsme Ztratili (published in Czech) and Those Who Lived (2014), which are tie-in stories set in the same universe. Fallen World can be read as a standalone science fiction story for readers unfamiliar with the wider Valiant universe, though it benefits from some knowledge of the 4001 A.D. storyline. Abnett’s work on Valiant properties was part of a broader effort to expand the publisher’s storytelling beyond ongoing monthly series.
