Unfortunately, what the preacher believes are angels are the tentacled spawn of an alien race feared by even the Vine. Keep scrolling for a closer look at the covers, or Click Here to jump right to the story description with some spoilers.Ĭheck out our BLOODSHOT: UNLEASHED #2 to find out how Bloodshot’s implanted memories started tin infringe on his waking hours.Ī preacher in a rundown mining town calls the faithless to God and his Angels for hope and a future. Equal to the bloody action is Davis-Hunt’s masterful skill in the facial acting of the characters, especially Bloodshot, who suffers more hallucinations via implanted memories. Davis-Hunt’s fine details bring every drop of blood to excruciatingly delightful focus. When the alien action kicks in, it’s hyperviolent, bloody, and extremely gory. Jon Davis-Hunt’s art style is a perfect fit for this material. It’s a very good filler, but it’s still filler.
There’s nothing wrong with an X-O Manowar cameo, but diverting Bloodshot’s focus away from his quest to track down wayward super soldiers dissipates momentum in the main arc, making this issue feel like filler.
However, this is clearly a breather issue that takes a break from the main arc. To be clear, Camp’s story isn’t an indictment of churches or faith, but Camp does an excellent job showing how the line between faith and zealotry can be crossed without anyone realizing it. Camp mixes in the creepy elements of evangelical snake charmers, small towns looking to faith in anything for salvation, and the mass mania that accompanies charismatic zealots. The setup works well enough, although there isn’t much preface to explain how or why the alien was released on the residents of a former mining town. Realizing he might be out of his depth, Bloodshot reluctantly agrees to partner up to root out the aliens. Deniz Camp creates an interesting story where Aric and Ray need to play to their strengths to stop the aliens, but it’s the differences in their methods that create an extra layer of dramatic tension for a better-than-average breather issue.ĭeniz’s Camp’s script centers around X-O Manowar crossing paths with Bloodshot after Aric detects an alien menace the Vine considers high-risk. BLOODSHOT: UNLEASHED #3 takes a break from the main arc for a cameo/breather issue where Bloodshot and X-O Manowarteam up to track down an alien brood.
