It's fantastic. I can read the book without having to constantly shift it around to move the giant glare reflecting off the page.
Where are you reading comics to have to deal with constant glare?
In rooms with lights.
Maybe I'm just tired today, but this post has me literally laughing out loud in my office. Most deadpan sarcastic remark that is totally true that I've heard/read in a while.

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.

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. :D

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?"

Side note, can you believe he was 26 when he started bloodshot with Perlin?!!!

What a dream job. Lucky guy.
