Valiant’s on a bit of a role here, aren’t they? With “X-O Manowar” being rather great and “Archer and Armstrong” looking rather great, everything is coming up Valiant!
It’s a good thing, then, that “Bloodshot” looks to continue that trend. Written by Duane Swierczynski and artistic tag team of Manuel Garcia and Arturo Lozzi, the book stars the eponymous Bloodshot as he goes on suicide mission after suicide mission in what may be the most popular of the old Valiant heroes. Then again, with a badass cover like that, who can blame anyone for being excited?
If that cover alone doesn’t sell you, we’ve got a four-page unlettered preview and a variant cover by Mico Suayan to whet your appetite further:
