The first title to launch as part of Valiant Beyond will star the fan-favorite nanite-enhanced cyborg with a penchant for ultra-violence: Bloodshot. Readers will discover that there’s something drastically different about this version of Bloodshot as he battles a Japanese underworld hooked on a new drug with vampiric side-effects.

Written by Mauro Mantella (BLOODSHOT UNLEASHED: RELOADED) with stunning artwork from Fernando Heinz Furukawa (X-O MANOWAR: INVICTUS), the initial three-issue arc for Bloodshot will blend crime-fighting, horror and ultra-violence into one unmissable mature readers story.

BLOODSHOT SPECIAL
Script: Dan Abnett
Art: Guillermo Fajardo

THE ULTIMATE TEST BEGINS. ONE SHOT AT A TIME.

Before Roy Harrison becomes the ultimate Bloodshot, he faces his deadliest test yet… and it’s lethal. Dropped into the wastelands of Australia alongside two fellow Bloodshot candidates, Roy must battle high-tech security, rogue drones, and deadly private guards to take down billionaire tech magnate Brad Mahoney. Survival comes at a cost—the mission tests both mind and body to their limits.

Intercut with surreal flashbacks and symbolic memories of his fractured past, this SPECIAL ISSUE explores Roy’s early life, his grueling training in the Red Ops maze, and the relentless evolution that forges him into the perfect weapon. Every mission, every setback, every resurrection brings him closer to becoming THE Bloodshot, ready to face the next challenge.

Writer Dan Abnett (RAI; FALLEN WORLD) and artist Guillermo Fajardo (RESURGENCE, VALIANT BEYOND: THE X-O MANOWAR) deliver a tense, action-packed tale that sets the stage for the next evolution of Bloodshot Beyond.
