Bloodshot Salvation Vol 1 7

Nothing. Nothing but black. I have travelled to the Deadside with my baby in my arms, but something is wrong. My nanites are all %#@&ed up here. I'm blind. I have no idea where I am or what's around me. I can still feel Jessie cradled in my arms. She's--she's breathing. It's faint, but I can feel her little breath. It's the warmest thing here.

Master storyteller Jeff Lemire takes the helm for the year's most terrifying, most memorable special issue - told entirely in PITCH BLACK DARKNESS!

Deployed into the demonic realm called Deadside in search of a cure for his ailing infant daughter, Bloodshot has lost the one sense he needs most to navigate the land of the dead: his sight. Blinded with only his four-legged ally, Bloodhound, to aid him, Ray Garrison must fight onward as one man against the darkness - even as he is beset from all sides by a horde of inhuman entities that crave only death, suffering, and slaughter...

Told in total darkness from Bloodshot's point of view, "THE BOOK OF THE DEAD" enters uncharted territory with a seminal experiment in storytelling written and staged by Eisner Award-winning visionary Jeff Lemire (Black Hammer, Animal Man)!

Oh thank God. I relax, lower my gun, I feel Hound at my legs now, panting. -- "Good boy." -- [ARK!] -- "Listen to me, boy. I-I can't see anything. I am going to need you to lead the way, find somewhere safe for me to try and get my bearings, see if this passes. You understand, boy?" -- [ARK!] -- I decide to take that as a yes. I hear him walk off ahead and I follow, staying close. Bloodhound... my own seeing eye dog.
