I'm sticking with it being a Rai shirt. Maybe he was a fan back in the day.

I have a feeling that VEI isn't going to spend too much time explaining why Bloodshot has a red dot on his shirt in #11

This was a perfect character centric issue. Love the human side of Bloodshot and the action was perfectly balanced.

I wonder what faction that special ops team was from? Could they be tired to the Hard Corps?

Yeah, it's entirely possible isn't it?

I'd reckon, that with Harada and Kuretich's soldiers on side, and PRS soldiers on the other, it makes a certain amount of sense that the H.A.R.D Corps are affiliated with the American organisation that was discussing psiots with the PRS representative in the 'secret room' in Harbinger Wars #1.

By my prediction, the special ops team that was sent in to obtain the child psiots from Bloodshot in issue #10 was affiliated with this American Organisation, and now that they've been completely obliterated, the organisation is going to have to send in 'the big guns', therefore packing the H.A.R.D Corps onto a helicopter and sending them in Bloodshot's direction.

That seems likely to me, but I could be completely wrong :lol:

By the way, that organisation that I've mentioned here... I got the impression that it was a US government organisation. Anyone else thought that when they read it?

I thought that was pretty clear. PRS is obviously a military contractor and they were answering to the govt for their recent f-ups.

Also, it says on panel that they are meeting with the "US Office of the Director of National Intelligence" :kidaround:

Speaking of which, I'm not crazy about them calling themselves PRS Securities. That sounds like a bond trading firm.

PRS Security, sure. PRS Securities, not so much.

Hm, I felt that this 'PRS Securities' name was really just a coverup front. A small portion (like 2%) of the company that runs legally as a government-approved body, but with the *real* PRS activity going on behind closed doors.

Yes, but be that as it may, "security" and "securities" are two different things.

"I'm in the security business" means the guy is a bodyguard of some sort. "I'm in the securities business" means the guy deals with stocks and bonds.

Perhaps my former occupation as a guy in the "securities business" colors my interpretation of the word.

Ah, I've never heard stocks and bonds referred to as 'securities' before, so that hadn't even occurred to me. I can see why that would annoy you as someone who formerly worked in that field :wink:

But perhaps 'PRS Securities' actually DO deal in stocks and shares, with all the military stuff kept hush-hush by the government? Possible innit? :D

Speaking as your financial advisor, go long on Harada Industries with a strong buy recommendation.

I'm rating Project Rising Spirit as market perform, accumulate on dips as there are rumors Harada may be seeking a takeover. A former disgruntled employee known only as Bloodshot is a loose cannon and it is unknown as of this writing whether he will affect near-term operations.

The Renegades are a "story" stock with strong future potential in their leadership, Peter Stanchek. Their capital assets are minimal at this point but they have the talent in place to disrupt the market. A small position in this could pay big dividends -- but as with any start-up, caveat emptor.

Archer & Armstrong, LLP is a Limited Liability Partnership with recent gains over industry rival, The Null. The share price is up on this news but be advised that their ongoing struggle against The Sect weighs heavily on future performance. My advice is a hold on this position.

X-O Inc is a strong player in the technology field with recent gains over their competitor, Vine Amalgamated. I would rate it as Buy if it weren't for rumors that management is currently afield pursuing assets in a foreign market. Wait to see how this plays out. Hold and accumulate on dips.

Shadowman Corp is unfortunately presently rated as market underperform. If you have the stomach for it, liquidate large holdings and take the write-off. While there appears to be a board struggle to put new management in place, it remains to be seen how this will effect overall performance. Shareholders seem to be patiently watching, but things could get ugly if there isn't a turnaround soon.
