Preview: BLOODSHOT REBORN #2

Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of BLOODSHOT REBORN #2 – coming on May 20th from New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (THE VALIANT, Descender) and visionary storyteller Mico Suayan (HARBINGER, Moon Knight)! In the wake of BLOODSHOT REBORN's landmark debut, the smash-hit new series of the year rockets forward with a brand new chapter drawing the reformed killer once known as Bloodshot deeper into the perilous world of violence, madness, and murder he tried so hard to forget... Ray Garrison, once known as the unstoppable killing machine called Bloodshot, must track down the impostors carrying out mass shootings in his former name. But the hunter becomes the hunted when an upstart FBI investigator and her grizzled partner believe the original Bloodshot himself to be responsible for the murders. Can Bloodshot elude the agents – and his own inner demons – long enough to take out a nanite-infused gunman?

So excited for this! It's been a long time since we had some cool superhero noir thrillers!

Also did nobody tell Bloodsquirt not to play with fireworks?

Eh, another white straight male anti-hero.

*snore*

It's awesome they released a preview so soon after the first issue dropped. Enjoyed the debut issue way more than I thought I would, so I'm really looking forward to this.

@sprior93: Well. We don't know if he is entirely straight.

Also. Is white the new black? Even Cracked.com hates on white men.

Lol

@sprior93: Actually we don't know if he's either white or straight. He was black in his origin issue

@jonny_anonymous: Yep. And originally he was Sicilian in the 90's.

Plus, its fking Bloodshot bro!

@guardiandevil83: What did you think of the first issue?

He's not really an anti-hero, if you read Issue 1 you'll see why.

Really enjoyed the 1st issue. Hopefully the second will be just as good. And from the previews it looks like it will be.

I would like a Bloodsquirt Mini Series.

I had high hopes for Lemire on this title and he delivered.

The first issue was very good: good plot, good dialogue, good characterization of Bloodshot, good art. I'm curious about Kay and Bloodsquirt: are they real or is Bloodshot insane?

@ec2277: Looks like figments of his imagination.

@dark_guyver: Yes, they seems figments of his imagination, but just this is the good thing: if they are figments he is insane and it will be interesting see how the character will be developed. If they are real, it will be interesting to the same.

@jonny_anonymous: I haven't read it. I keep up with word of mouth. I don't get upset with spoilers most of the time.

I trade wait.

@guardiandevil83: It's hella good

Looks good

@sprior93: You're right. A black, transgender, androsexual, chairkin with ADHD and hepatitis would be much more entertaining

@comicstooge: settle down, buddy

So... the guy with guns that maniacally shot to criminal and other things and was Sicilian in the '90s, now is exactly alike to the other, more famous guy with guns that maniacally shot everything an have Sicilian ancestor [Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher]... oh well...

I'm start to think this view of Sicilian began to be a little to... stereotypical... [nearly racist!]

So, let me clear: I really love both Frank Castle [real Frank Castle, not "Garth Ennis' Frank Castle" however] and Bloodshot [in any of his incarnation]... but well... sometime I think about how Italians [in the case: Sicilian] are viewed in USA and other country O_O

P.S. Guardiandevil83/Johnny_anonymous, however I'm not criticize your posts in anyway :)

you know nothing sprior93.

I'm really far behind on Valiant but I'm for sure checki this out. It looks crazy awesome.

@jonnythewolf: I really don't :(
