This is a new concept, with the darkness throughout the entire book. It really does no justice to post more of the pages, because it is best as an experience to read. I felt sorry for the characters when they failed, and this is something that has never before been attempted. Read Full Review

You would think that a story told in near complete darkness would have the strongest tools of a visual medium taken away, but not here. This is an amazing story told with unbelievable skill. Bloodshot Salvation #7 is a masterclass on how to pull readers into a story and force them to use their imagination. This is unprecedented effort that succeeds in the best possible way, and it is well deserving of the highest possible score. Read Full Review

Bloodshot Salvation #7 is a bold attempt at doing something different, and for the better part it works. Despite lacking the visual presence that makes the medium such a beloved one, the storytelling of Jeff Lemire and unique panel layouts make this a surprisingly pleasant experience. Let's hope that it doesn't become a regular occurrence though. Read Full Review

This issue is a trip. It is hard to convey all that was accomplished with these strict parameters. Bloodshot Salvation #7 is one for the record books. Read Full Review

The thing I appreciated the most about this book is that it completely drew me in. By showing us only Bloodshot's POV Lemire has created such tension that it brings more excitement to the table than showing us everything. On the surface its easy to call a book like this a gimmick but I would suggest that as an artistic choice its very brave. Its an inventive take on an old concept and it serves the story well. Plus I never expected to see two-page spreads in a pitch black comic, but they work very well here. Certainly worth a look as a departure from the norm, and highly recommended. Read Full Review

The issue delivers on the promise, despite the absence of some key elements of mainstream comics, and manages to be compelling and emotionally effective. Read Full Review

It's an interesting device, and the story is pretty compelling - but I suspect ,, to anyone who paid full cover price, it may seem to be a gag too far. Read Full Review

While Lemire's drawing is more than enough to keep one interested throughout the issue, "Bloodshot Salvation" #7 would benefit greatly from his writing meeting this level of craft. Read Full Review

While it is cool to have Ray's story told from his view, the story isn't enough to get past the lack of visuals. Read Full Review

Bloodshot is blind in the dead zone. That's it. There's not much story here and the artwork is nonexistent. So why am I rating it as high as I am at 8.5? Because it's sooo different from everything else! We get to see what Bloodshot is seeing - nothing! Every page is black. We only get Bloodshot monologuing and talking to Bloodhound. It's very different and very good.

Ballsy move, Lemire.

Good story, just absolutely not worth the $4 price tag, this would have been fine if the comic was maybe half the price it is but as it stands I can’t give this book any higher of a review than this
