Valiant is proud to announce that\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0FIRST PULSE-POUNDING ISSUE<\/strong>\u00a0beginning a\u00a0BRAND-NEW SERIES and NEW JUMPING-ON POINT<\/strong>\u00a0for the publisher\u2019s most brutal, unrelenting hero \u2013 is now the highest-selling Bloodshot comic of the modern era!<\/p>\n

\u201cBloodshot is one of the most popular heroes in Valiant\u2019s celebrated roster of characters, and we\u2019re ecstatic to see that he\u2019s in more demand than ever,\u201d said Publisher\u00a0Fred Pierce.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cOur fantastic editors and creative team crafted a spectacular story, and our unstoppable Sales team worked hard to help make this the biggest release since we first revealed Bloodshot to a new generation of readers in 2012. With innovations like the Glass Variant Cover and the Nanite Prevention Kit, we\u2019ve further cemented Valiant’s position as one of the most daring and groundbreaking companies in the comic industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surpassing records for\u00a0BLOODSHOT (2012) \u00a0#1, BLOODSHOT REBORN #1, and BLOODSHOT SALVATION #1, BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0features an unforgettable story from an assemblage of master storytellers, including\u00a0Kevin Grevioux\u00a0<\/strong>(New Mutants<\/em>),\u00a0Lonnie Nadler\u00a0<\/strong>(Cable<\/em>),\u00a0Zac Thompson<\/strong>\u00a0(The Dregs<\/em>), and artist\u00a0Ken Lashley\u00a0<\/strong>(X-Men<\/em>), as they detail the hidden history of Valiant\u2019s unyielding one-man war machine!<\/p>\n

Before a weapon is deployed in battle, it must be designed, refined, field-tested. Bloodshot was no exception. In the early days of the private military contractor Project Rising Spirit, the nanite-infused super-soldier who would one day become their most violent and valuable asset was a resource to be mined \u2013 and it was up to an enterprising team of scientists to ensure he did what he was told. But a memory is a tricky thing\u2026and the man Bloodshot used to be won\u2019t let go of his past so easily\u2026<\/p>\n

Available TODAY,\u00a0November 14th<\/strong>, don\u2019t miss this star-studded debut issue as\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0descends on comic book store shelves everywhere with covers by\u00a0Felipe Massafera\u00a0<\/strong>(Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors<\/em>),\u00a0David Mack<\/strong>\u00a0(Kabuki<\/em>), and\u00a0Staz Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0(Robin<\/em>) \u2013 plus an exclusive limited Glass Variant Cover with art by\u00a0Doug Braithwaite<\/strong>\u00a0(X-O MANOWAR)!<\/p>\n
