Bloodshot Salvation #1

   The deadly killer Bloodshot has been resurrected in a new role: a family man!

   Well, at least for part of this issue.

   That nanite-filled character hoped to change his life, so he took on a normal appearance, fell in love with a woman named Magic, and together they had a child, a girl named Jessie.

   But a happy life isn't in the cards for the family, and the modern-day part of the story finds Magic and Jessie running for their lives from a terrible threat - and coming up against a surprising menace.

   It's a hard-hitting and emotional story from writer Jeff Lemire, and the art by Lewis LaRosa and Mica Suayan, with color art by Brian Reber, is stunning - it gives a painted, real-world look to the adventure.

    It's a strong start for this new series (though be warned, it's a bit on the bloody side), and well worth checking out.

Grade: A-
