First Appearance Wigans and KT - Consensus?
Pulling this away from another thread, I thought I'd raise the question on when the first appearance of Wilfred Wigans and KT are in comic books. Of course, these characters debuted in the Bloodshot movie, or arguably, the novel adaptation which was released earlier. The publishing delays during COVID made everything a bit wonky with respect to continuity.
Valiant 2020 FCBD might be the first appearance in comics. There were a few preview pages that show each character. You can actually read the pages here: https://www.freecomicbookday.com/Catalog/JAN200011. Released July 2020.
Bloodshot 10 - This is the first appearance of Wigans in the series. KT was mentioned in name, but did not appear, at the end. Released January 2021.
Bloodshot 11 - This is the first appearance of KT in the series. Released February 2021.
Many folks don't consider a preview a first appearance. This is a hotly debated issue with many first appearances. In the case at hand, the preview contains a few new pages. This might be a situation where there is an asterisk in the "first appearance" bucket.
What do you vote?

Re: First Appearance Wigans and KT - Consensus?
The FCBD story isn't a preview but an exclusive prologue that already has been recollected in Book Three. I'd say it's their first appearance -- full for Wigans, unnamed cameo for KT.
Wigan's voice is then heard by BS at the end of issue #9 (OCT 2020) before they both appear in BS #10 -- KT is seen multiple times and properly introduced by BS, and also makes her 1st cover appearance.
