Bloodshot Salvation #8had a hell of a task to match up to the previous issue, but it's a task the comic meets with a nanite fueled punch in the eye. You won't read a better comic this week. Read Full Review

Overall Bloodshot Salvation #8 is a book about pressure I believe. On it's surface it looks like a macho infused lone hero story, but it's not. It takes the main protagonist to a water shed moment that I haven't really seen too often. Well I have seen this done before with a beloved hero, although it was lame and I'd rather forget that it happened. Read Full Review
Bloodshot has willingly agreed to do something terrible. So while it may be interesting to see how this will come about, I am more excited to see what the consequences Bloodshot's actions. Chances are they will be dire. Read Full Review
The endpoint is genuinely interesting, for both Bloodshot and his daughter, but ultimately the journey there feels a little more by-the-numbers than this remarkable series has so far. Read Full Review
This continues to be a strong title with standout art. The final pages and the surprise ending does a great job of building excitement for the next issue and will have you wishing you could continue reading on. Read Full Review
Bloodshot Salvation #8 is a fun read that pits our hero against demons and into the paths of Shadowman and Baron Samedi. The narrative doesnt dazzle, but the art is so incredible that the comic is something that you need to take a look. This comic gets a recommendation. Check this one out. Read Full Review
The Art is still stellar and Renato Guedes continues to impress. The Deadside dreamscape is really creepy and it is beautifully rendered. I love the almost fuzzy coloring in these, with textures of Color pencils. It suits the story quite well. Read Full Review
Bloodshot Salvation is another series I've followed closely but haven't really talked about much. It's one of the best series of 2018 and is one of the better ongoing narratives I've followed for any length of time.
This isn't the best issue to jump in but it's entertaining nevertheless. Bloodshot and his dog Bloodhound enter the "Deadside" in order to save his daughter, Jessie. After the events of the last issue Bloodshot finds himself surrounded by demonic creatures but before he's overwhelmed there is a timely rescue by Shadowman. After they are safe Shadowman offers to take Bloodshot to meet "The Dealmaker, Baron Samedi.
The plot detours a bit and we're provided with an update on the ongoing subplot with Danny more
Bloodshot is in the land of the dead trying to save the life of his daughter by visiting Shadowman villain Baron Samedi. It is a disorienting and strange world that at the start of the book seemed a bit of a mess for me. By the end of the book however the story they were telling started coming together. Once you start to understand how this fits into the story it is a very satisfying moment. The art is mostly hazy and dull to capture the strange nature of the realm. Compare that to the brief look back to the origin of Rampage that had a more defined and crisp style. This is a strong series that is telling a very interesting story.
Great issue! Definitely makes up for the last issue. Amazing artwork as well.
