My rating: 4 of 5 stars


My bookshelves: netgalley-arcs, graphic-novel, comics, adventure-and-action, bloody-and-gory, nanotech, superheroes-and-supervillains,

Great teaser for the rest of the story.

This is the trope of 'killing machine let his past behind and goes to live a happy simple life with woman and baby' ... except then makes a very bad decision and all goes to hell.

Bloodshot aka Ray Garrison is living in Minessota with his love, Magic, and a baby girl, Jessie. All is well, until a overheard phone call send him in a hunt seeking revenge. Ray was/is a supersoldier proyect with nanites in him that gives him almost imparable regenerative status and speed , was used as assasin wiping his mind (imagine that! cough).

While Ray is hunting old demons and making said big mistake (you know, breaking promises - baaad) , an old organization is rising again, OMEN, looking for using the nanite proyect with a srly creepy chief aboard.



This is a case of see pretty cover - snatch the ARC. Never even heard of this character before. But I have a tiny bitty interest in nanytes so... Well, the ART is fantastic. Well, the Art is fantastic. If you don't mind realistic-brutal exploding body parts, and drawing of decomposing corpses if you get my meaning.

There is time jumps, and magic, and other supers . And I'd like to read the next one.
