review:
'Bloodshot Reborn: Deluxe Edition, Book 1' brings back the Valiant character with a great plot by Jeff Lemire. Collected in this huge collection are Bloodshot Reborn issues 1-13.

Project Rising Spirit created Bloodshot and took away the identity of a man named Ray. Now Ray is without the nanites that made him Bloodshot. He is plagued by bad memories and seeks to suppress them with drinking and drugs. He also has a couple of invisible friends from the old days that bother him.

When a strange killing in Colorado looks like it was done by someone using the nanites, Ray realizes that only he can control them and sets out to recover them. When it becomes apparent that the nanites may be in more than one person, Ray sets out to stop them.

I liked the main story quite a bit. The second story arc was interesting, but I felt a bit cheated by its finale. The art varies over the course of the volume with some really outstanding art, and some I was less crazy about. Overall, this is a really excellent graphic novel.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Valiant Entertainment LLC, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
