Valiant is proud to present your first lettered and colored look within the pages of\u00a0BLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>, the first issue of an unstoppable new series that will forever redefine the origins of Valiant\u2019s most unrelenting hero!<\/p>\n

On\u00a0November 14th<\/strong>, superstar writer\u00a0Kevin Grevioux\u00a0<\/strong>(New Mutants,<\/em>\u00a0the\u00a0Underworld\u00a0<\/em>Franchise) joins the sensational creative team of\u00a0Lonnie Nadler<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Zac Thompson<\/strong>\u00a0(Cable<\/em>) and legendary artist\u00a0Ken Lashley<\/strong>
\n(X-Men<\/em>) for a gripping exploration into the first steps of the walking weapon of war known as…BLOODSHOT!<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I don’t like is when writers come in and say, \u2018Everything you thought you knew before was wrong,\u2019\u201d writer Kevin Grevioux told Inverse. \u201cI think that’s a slap in the face to both the creator and to longtime fans who’ve been with the character since inception. However, I do think you can enhance and add layers to the history without disturbing the essence of who the character is and what makes him tick. And that’s what we’ll be doing with RISING SPIRIT.\u201d<\/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

On\u00a0November 14th<\/strong>, a brutal brain trust of comic elites come together to open a door once closed inBLOODSHOT RISING SPIRIT #1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 featuring covers by\u00a0Felipe Massafera\u00a0<\/strong>(Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors<\/em>),\u00a0David Mack\u00a0<\/strong>(Kabuki<\/em>),\u00a0Staz Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0(Robin<\/em>), and\u00a0Doug Braithwaite\u00a0<\/strong>(SHADOWMAN)!<\/p>\n
