Preview - Valiant Masters: Bloodshot Vol. 1 HC - Blood of the Machine

The Summer of Valiant had to start somewhere and it started with a special series named Bloodshot. That makes for a perfect reason for the publisher to release Valiant Masters: Bloodshot Vol. 1 HC - Blood of the Machine, the first in an all-new line of deluxe hardcovers collecting original stories.

Once, he was the hired killer known as Angelo Mortalli. Now, there is only Bloodshot. Brought back from the grave by the government scientists of Project Rising Spirit, Bloodshot is powered by microscopic nano-machines that can repair all injuries and maximize his physical potential.

But the nanites can't replace his lost memories – or help him shake the feeling that he was once anything but a hero. Atoning for his sins in a world he no longer knows, can the man now called Bloodshot recover the secrets of his past? And survive his deadly first encounters with the likes of the Eternal Warrior, Ninjak and Rai along the way?

The work features original series coloring and and re-presents Bloodshot #1-8 from 1992. It features the writing of Kevin VanHook and the work of Don Perlin. It will also features "The Tablet," a brand new tale of the Valiant Universe starting Bloodshot and the Eternal Warrior.
