Valiant is proud to announce that longtime actor, screenwriter, and Eisner Award-nominated comics scribe\u00a0Kevin Grevioux<\/strong>\u00a0(Underworld, Odyssey of the Amazons<\/em>) has joined the\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT<\/strong>\u00a0creative team of rising stars\u00a0Lonnie Nadler\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Zac Thompson<\/strong>\u00a0(Cable<\/em>) and legendary artist\u00a0Ken Lashley<\/strong>\u00a0(Black Panther<\/em>). Grevioux comes on board to script and co-write the series, which hits comic shops everywhere on\u00a0November 14th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is one of Valiant’s quintessential characters, flagship-type characters that really carries the essence of the franchise,”\u00a0Writer Kevin Grevioux told Comicbook.com<\/a>. “We hope to bring truly what fans are used to. A lot of bold, exciting action with a twist of fun. That’s always a great combination.”<\/p>\n

Grevioux reunites with Lashley and editor\u00a0Karl Bollers<\/strong>\u00a0on the project, all of whom have worked on various projects together for over a dozen years throughout their careers in the comic book industry, including Marvel\u2019s\u00a0What If?\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Underworld:<\/em>\u00a0Blood Wars.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Very few times in your career do you get a chance to work with a creative team that gets what your strengths are. That’s what this is about. I know that my strength is energy and power and this kind of stuff,” Artist Ken Lashley also told Comicbook.com. “Every artist, what we really want to do is we want to draw exciting things. That’s what this is about.'”<\/p>\n

“This is our opportunity to tell the definitive\u00a0Bloodshot\u00a0origin, which we’ve hinted at,” Editor Karl Bollers added. “I think that that’s really going to excite people who may not be that familiar with the character.”<\/p>\n

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

On\u00a0November 14th<\/strong>, celebrated writer\u00a0Kevin Grevioux<\/strong>\u00a0(New Warriors<\/em>) teams up with the incomparable writing duo of\u00a0Lonnie Nadler<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Zac Thompson<\/strong>\u00a0(The Dregs<\/em>) and comics legend\u00a0Ken Lashley<\/strong>\u00a0(X-Men<\/em>) for an unforgettable journey into the mind of Valiant\u2019s most unrelenting hero in\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0Felipe Massafera<\/strong>\u00a0(Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors<\/em>),\u00a0David Mack\u00a0<\/strong>(Kabuki<\/em>), and\u00a0Staz Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0(Robin<\/em>)!<\/p>\n

BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0will also launch\u00a0Valiant\u2019s Glass Series<\/strong>, a cutting-edge concept in which strictly limited runs of upcoming first issue variant covers will be printed via a special multi-colored process on a carefully devised pane of glass, each featuring artwork by superstar creator\u00a0Doug Braithwaite<\/strong>\u00a0(Justice<\/em>, SHADOWMAN)!<\/p>\n
