Bloodshot Goes Viral… In The Dangerous Way

Bloodshot USA #1 hits shelves this week from Valiant and I got a chance to read it already. The book gets to the heart of what Project Rising Spirit has been up to right away. We start with exposition from a year ago laying out the plan that we've already seen part in action. But the new situation is simple… they've turned the nanites into a virus and infected people in New York City. And when Unity is sent in we learn that even heroes aren't immune.

This seems to be what Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite have been building up to since Bloodshot Reborn #1. From the death of Geomancer, machinations have been in place leading up to this issue and the only thing not going according to plan is Bloodshot and his new friends from the island surviving and finding their way to the city.

The issue is a strong opening to a new storyline with enough explained for new readers to get caught up without dragging down existing fans. And I really rather enjoyed Ninjak calling Bloodshot out for his narcissism and self-pity.

Bloodshot USA #1 goes on sale Wednesday. Here are some preview pages.
