In the deserts outside Las Vegas, Bloodshot has banded together with Project Rising Spirit’s most dangerous escapees. But when the Harbinger Wars erupt all around them, can he shape these super-powered children into a force for good – or are they too far gone? He’ll have to find out the hard way as the opposing forces of PRS and the Harbinger Foundation descend on all sides, bringing about a crucible the likes of which the Valiant Universe has never seen…

By acclaimed writer Duane Swierczysnki (Birds of Prey) and legendary artist Barry Kitson (Amazing Spider-Man), jump headlong into the uncompromising action of Valiant’s first crossover event right here with an all-new, standalone story arc that will redefine the weapon – no, the soldier – no, the hero known only as Bloodshot.

This comic book gives us a solid continuation of the Bloodshot saga which I’m pretty new to.

In a way this comic book is intertwining high-stakes action and sci-fi elements which I found to be interesting and intriguing. The premise of this book is for sure pretty unique and had a lot of potential which in the end this comic book didn’t use.

The writing style of this comic book maintains a steady pace and offers plenty of engaging moments.

However the narrative of this comic book seems like it doesn’t know where to take the story. Which made it seem to be like the creators of this comic book didn’t really care about the storyline in this comic book.

I gotta admit that this comic book offers us glimpses a wider and more extended world in the other comic books in this series. 

There are times where this comic book feels pretty uneven. And occasionally it is bogged down by exposition and a convoluted plot that may be challenging or at least it was challenging for a newcomer as myself to this series.

The artwork in this comic book is pretty impressive because it has clean lines and dynamic action sequences that bring the intense combat and futuristic setting to life in this comic book which I liked. 

The visuals in this comic book are a definite highlight of this entire comic book, even when the story itself tends to bring this whole comic book down a fair share.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
