Notes[]

  • Due to the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic[1] the Free Comic Book Day 2020 was turned into a "Free Comic Book Summer" and this issue was released on July 22, 2020, instead of May 6, 2020. The date in the indicia is still set to May 2020 as the book had already been printed for a release in May.[2]
  • Wilfred Wigans and the unnamed diver (who looks like KT) are comic adaptions of the two characters of the same name that first appeared in the Bloodshot movie in March 2020.
  • "Unimaginable" was written by Joshua Dysart in 2016; right after the conclusion of Robert Venditti's series, to whom it is dedicated.[3]
  • Additional Content:
  • This is the second year in a row the FCBD issue does not feature a pin-up of the Valiant Universe.
