The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BLOODSHOT REBORN #1 from Valiant Entertainment. Jeff Lemire writes, Mico Suayan draws and
David Baron colors.
Who was Bloodshot? He was an unkillable assassin, powered by
nanotechnology and corporate masters who kept his memory wiped. He was saved
from that by the Geomancer, who removed the nanites from his blood. But now all
he has are the memories of people he killed and ghosts of his past. Then an apparent
impostor goes on a rampage, killing innocent people in a theater. So who was
Bloodshot, and what’s he going to do about it?
Bloodshot deserved a chance to be a normal person (since he
had his condition thrust upon him). It’s not surprising, though, that someone
like him would be able to deal with it. This is an interesting look into his
mind, though; we get a good look at how he views himself and his place in the
world. The level of detail in the facial expressions is impressive, too, and
helps to tell that story.
There’s a ton of psychological depth packed into this single
issue. And I suspect there’s more to come. So jump on board now.
BLOODSHOT REBORN #1 is available now at your FLCS or at valiantuniverse.com.
