From New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (THE VALIANT, Green Arrow) and red-hot rising star Mico Suayan (HARBINGER, Moon Knight), VALIANT NEXT delivers an all-new ongoing series for Valiant’s most unrelenting hero!

Bloodshot’s nanites made him a nearly unstoppable killing machine. His enhanced strength, speed, endurance, and healing made him the perfect weapon, and he served his masters at Project Rising Spirit – a private contractor trafficking in violence – very well.

Now, Bloodshot is a shadow of his former self. He lives in self-imposed exile, reeling from the consequences of his past life and the recent events that nearly drove him mad. But when a rash of shootings by gunmen who appear to look just like Bloodshot begin, his guilt will send him on a mission to stop the killers, even if it means diving headlong into the violence that nearly destroyed him.

Notes[]

All cartoon-ish appearances of Bloodsquirt were added by Jeff Lemire over Mico Suayan's pencils.^[1]
The Bloodshot video game and its status displays are visualized as a homage to the classic Doom (1993 video game). Oddly, the little boy (Toby) who is actually playing the ego shooter game is playing it using a fourth generation video game consoles with a wireless thus sixth generation DualShock controller and the two are not compatible in real life.
