It's fantastic. I can read the book without having to constantly shift it around to move the giant glare reflecting off the page.

Re: Bloodshot Volume 1 hardcover review
Just read the new story. Was not very impressed. If I'm only getting one new Bloodshot short for my $25, can it at least be about Bloodshot, not Eternal Warrior?!
After I read the short, I went back and re-read the first few issues. A couple reactions:
1. The TPB paper is perfect
2. The old bloodshot didn't start out too crazy strong or regenerative. He took one bullet in the bicep and was pretty hurt by it. I kinda like that mortality. The new Bloodshot has been blown apart and burnt to a crisp already, and regenerated fine, so I'll never really worry about him in dangerous situations.

Re: Bloodshot Volume 1 hardcover review
Sounds like Kevin and Don have some questions that should be answered.
If Kevin and Don were accessible. I sure would like to ask if they have any extra copies Bloodshot 0 Platinums around.

The backup story was my favorite part. But then again EW is my favorite character from the original Valiant universe.Carson wrote:Just read the new story. Was not very impressed. If I'm only getting one new Bloodshot short for my $25, can it at least be about Bloodshot, not Eternal Warrior?!

Kevin VanHook has a twitter account going - maybe he is accessible via that? @kevinvanhookdrmirage wrote:Sounds like Kevin and Don have some questions that should be answered.

If I tweet him it'll be something more like "thanks for the years of great Valiant stories" and less "why was the bloodshot HC short all about eternal warrior?"grendeljd wrote:Kevin VanHook has a twitter account going - maybe he is accessible via that? @kevinvanhookdrmirage wrote:Sounds like Kevin and Don have some questions that should be answered.

Side note, can you believe he was 26 when he started bloodshot with Perlin?!!!
What a dream job. Lucky guy.
