Hadn't thought of this. Good point! I agree Manual Garcia's art is great.
Kuretch: Oh, my dear blue-eyed boy. What did they make you do...

So the question now is, is he referring to Bloodshot, or whoever the gray matter blob used to be?

Art
Pretty sure, Bloodshot as they sent him in and though the panels might not be clear, he is killing everyone there it seems.

I have re-read the first to issues and over-all I am liking where the story is going. I wonder what the true story is with the woman they unleashed to take out Bloodshot. Is she powered by the Goldies as well? she's been locked up 2 years since the "incident".

And who does Dr. Kuretich work for now, HGC?

Kuretich has to be backed by someone with all that tech and weaponry, and Harada would make sense as that person.

I was rethinking on this, Harada would be too obvious maybe? Too much. Though maybe Orb or Omen Industries...?

I enjoyed this a lot. I think they (VEI) are on solid ground with the concepts as they have reintroduced them, except the weakness of story structure in X-O Manowar (but that is a personal take).

I think the Bloodshot premise as it has been updated has been re-imagined well both visually and in powers concept (althouth they will need to be judicious in the extent of his powers being discovered).

Great writing and very well-suited art. Kudos to VEI.
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

Pretty decent issue, I wasn't that impressed with #1 but, I am however interested in the chick they're about to unleash on Bloodshot, hopefully will get to see her in action next issue.

Any one think she could be Death Angel? Would be a connection eventually to Neville Alcott and/or a nod to the original VU.

that's what I was hoping for, that'd make her BloodShot's future wife

Mmm, I would like to see the universe open up some more. I don't want everything tying into Harada or Darque; VH1 did that way too much.

Just a quick post to say awesome read. I'm down to buying Amazing Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man, a few Image hit titles and Valiants. So far I've been hooked. :D

As they are already sorta building towards a 'V/Secret Invasion' type conspiracy in X-O, Harada stated that PRS was after Pete in Harbinger and this group is trying to liberate Bloodshot from PRS...My money is this being connected to one of the other corporations. Perhaps not Harada but at this point I wouldn't be surprised for PRS to be affiliated with The Vine led Orb.

It just seems that is how the universe is building and I really enjoy that idea.
