Bloodshot Unleashed Reloaded #1

[Dallow Spicer1]

Why did I buy this?? I already bought Deniz Camps previous Bloodshot mini which was essentially a ‘baddie of the month’ mindless violence drudge.

But as always a few months go by and Valiant launch a new series so I get all optimistic and order a copy …of Deniz Camp on Bloodshot. What do I get…a baddie of the month mindless violence drudge

This time, there’s the added tedium of Bloodsquirt breaking the 4th wall as if things weren’t bad enough.

I feel bad for the artist Al Barrioneuvo whose excellent work deserved a better script.

I’m implementing a new zero tolerance policy, if the first issue is bad I’m no longer sticking with a series.

2/5 - If you like great art, excellent paper stock and an incoherent story then this is the book for you!

Thanks for the review, you seem to be one of the few on here reading these and giving your opinion.

You should give issue #2 a try since there's a new writer with a new take on the story.

So they let Deniz Camp write issue #1 then they switched writers???

Have you read issue 2?

Actually, Deniz had written issues #1 and 2 a long time ago, when they were supposed to be issues #5 and 6 of Bloodshot Unleashed. His commitments didn't let him continue the series so Mauro Mantella (the new writer) came on board. He wrote a new issue #2 since he needed to take the story into a new direction.

I read up until issue #3

Trust me, you should at least try Mantella's writing before dropping the title.

I’m gonna need to see some reviews on the board from trusted sources before I buy another Bloodshot book. Since Lemire’s excellent run it’s been car crash after car crash…and not in a good way.

In typical Valiant fashion, the abysmal DMG Bloodshot series coincided with the Bloodshot movie, so any potential new readers will have ran for the hills.

I’ve never heard of Mantella so I’m gonna need to know he’s more that just a ‘what creative ways can Bloodshot be damaged/how ridiculously big can guns get’.

Duane Swierczynski back on the book would be appealing.

Well, give Mantella a chance before asking for a replacement.

Ok I’m persuaded to try issue #2, mainly because the reviewer recognised how bad issue #1 under Campz which tells me he’s legit.

I thought he was way too harsh on the art as it looked good to me.

Unloaded was one of the few relaunch titles I didn’t pre-order due to the handling of the character in the past, but will definitely pick up issue #2. Thanks for that review video Martin!

Didn’t read this right away because of some of the early reviews I read here, but with the “Resurgence” announcement I figured I’d catch up. Issue 1 was decent. Obviously a continuation of the previous run, but I liked the twist and the inclusion of Bloodsquirt. Issue 2 was rather good, I thought, and made me want to keep reading further.
