Well this was tour de force. Bloodshot, our main hero is like a child from marriage between Punisher and Wolverine. Constantly reprogrammed by ruthless corporation he is capable of performing nonhuman feats when it comes to combat - he does not know about fatigue or losses and when he is pointed toward the enemy, like claymore mine, he is relentless.

I had this one for along time on my TBR pile but only after seeing trailer for the movie based on this comic I decided to finally read it. And I was not disappointed. I truly hope they keep the pace in follow up TPBs.

Recommended to all fans of action,thriller, SF and more ... grounded I think would be the word, super hero comics.

I didn't have any intention of reading this given my preconception of Bloodshot as another Punisher/Wolverine clone. I was wrong, the story isn't by the numbers and the exposition on what's really going on is more cinematic than plodding.

My only complaint is the colours. I just have such a poor reaction to a style that eschews inking for gradient skin tones. It just looks... off. I can't quite put my finger to it, but there's something to be said for old-school inks and colours conveying more dynamism than the uncanny valley of heavily saturated panels. ( )
