I will be honest, I havent been reading the Bloodshot series as of late, so I was a little thrown off on who the group of Bloodshots are, but the story within this book is pretty well contained. How can Bloodshot and whatever allies he may have left stop a city infested with Bloodshot soldiers? This is the story, especially since Bloodshot is used to solving problems by putting a bullet into his opposition. Lemire and Braithwaite have created a good start to what is sure to be a bloody good series, if the last page is any indication.

So its a bittersweet pill the start of Bloodshot USA. Jeffs swansong into the world of Bloodshot begins and there is a sense of finality in the telling of this story. The impression that things are not going to be the same after the conclusion is evident, and in what direction Bloodshot (and the Valiant universe) will go is anyones guess. Every story arc, from Colorado to Bloodshot Island has been leading up to this and you can feel the strands of the storylines tying together here, but who knows what the final picture will reveal. One thing Im sure I can confirm, it couldnt be more fitting that the final stage of Rays regenisis – under the watchful eye of Jeff Lemire – is kicking off an event that is titled The Future of Valiant. I cant wait to find out what happens next. Read Full Review

Bloodshot USA #1 has real potential Read Full Review

So, Overall, Bloodshot U.S.A. #1 isn't a bad book. It's one of those stories where you can turn your brain off for 20 minutes and flip through it and if you don't dig too deep, you'll enjoy it. Obviously I'm not reading other Valiant stuff, and haven't read all that much in the grand scheme of things, so your opinion may vary from mine. As a Valiant novice, I enjoyed it because it was something different to what I'm used to reading on a monthly basis. If you're a veteran Valiant reader, you may disregard everything I've just said when you read it for yourself. But I did enjoy it and I look forward to the next issue so I can find out what the fuck's going on and how it will all escalate and maybe top this issue" I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens next month!
