Valiant Entertainment Debuts Video Trailer for Bloodshot Reborn #1

Bloodshot's luck is anything but, well, lucky. He manages to make his way through life somewhat decently though, despite the constant threat of death and injury thrown his way. It's only a matter of time before all that danger catches up with him though and in Bloodshot Reborn #1, his ability to stay alive will be tested. Jeff Lemire and Mico Suayan is planning to bring a harrowing tale to readers starting April 15.

“I think [Bloodshot's] a really fascinating character; he’s almost a modern Frankenstien,” writer Jeff Lemire told Entertainment Weekly. “This guy whose life was torn apart and he was turned into a monster, really—the most tragic part being whoever he was before this is lost to him now. He may have had a family. Who knows what his life was like? To me, that’s a very tragic kind of thing, and a very easy thing for a writer to hook into and explore.”

Bloodshot’s nanites made him a nearly unstoppable killing machine. His enhanced strength, speed, endurance, and healing made him the perfect weapon, and he served his masters at Project Rising Spirit – a private contractor trafficking in violence – very well. Now, Bloodshot is a shadow of his former self. He lives in self-imposed exile, reeling from the consequences of his past life and the recent events that nearly drove him mad. But when a rash of shootings by gunmen who appear to look just like Bloodshot begin, his guilt will send him on a mission to stop the killers, even if it means diving headlong into the violence that nearly destroyed him.
