Resurgence: Bloodshot

WHAT?

I'll try to read it ASAP.

The first page of Resurgence Bloodshot is interesting in that it (likely, unintentionally) remarks the easiness with which the VH 2 version of Bloodshot could have been incorporated into the VH 1 canon by simply revealing that the Angelo Mortalli identity was fake all along.

It's ironic given that VH 2 Bloodshot was conceived to be a new take on the character whereas Ennis' VH 2 Shadowman was originally intended to be continuation of Hall's VH 1 original yet it didn't really fit in AS easily as Kaminski's version of Bloodshot could have.

(I did notice a mistake on the first panel; the nanites are not what let Angelo speak to machines, that was his inherent Harbinger ability, which the nanite infusion awoke in him).

I feel I missed something; since when was BOB from an "alternate history"? I thought it originated in the Unknown.

I see from the VALIANT Wiki that "B.O.B. is a former Sputnik that was taken from the Brothers of the Bomb Colonel by Jamie Capshaw", which, presumably, makes it the ship Divinity and the others used to reach the Unknown (I must have missed that detail in a previous comic).

That wouldn't make it from the Stalinverse since it launched from the main universe in the '50s.

Overall, the issue was interesting but brief.

I think there was a LOT more that Rai (pronounced Rye, hence Bloodshot taunting him by calling him the "world's most dangerous bread"...) could have done to turn Bloodshot to his side, like showing him images of Silk and himself, BS, in the future, that prove to Bloodshot all the evil the former has perpetrated and the all the latter has accomplished.

The art varied. Some pages were better than others.

No offense to anyone, but I really hope that part of Alien's VALIANT books improves with the Beyond launch.

I'm so tired of every single character having lame quips and jokes. Joss Whedon has done so much damage to the superhero genre

As am I, and yes he did.
