As part of the military’s super soldier program, Hager’s brain was salvaged and placed in the body of an advanced mech, heavily armored and loaded with weapons. The nanites are correct.Ĭaptain Bill Hager was a military fighter pilot shot down in battle. We begin with Bloodshot heading for the town of Howl, Michigan, where his nanites have concluded an unexplained outbreak of radiation poisoning is connected to one of the defective super soldiers Bloodshot is tasked with hunting down.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it happens, the stiffness sticks out like a sore thumb. However, there are a few action panels where Bloodshot looks stiff and posed rather than in motion. The character renderings are deceptively detailed, and the action (once it gets going) is big and loud.

On the whole, Jon Davis-Hunt’s art is phenomenal, especially in the hyper-violent and gory moments. The minor down point in this issue is related to the art. What should be loud, crazy, action scenes, reminiscent of RoboCop 2 (1990), take on a deeper emotional meaning when Bloodshot’s psyche is at odds with his actions, begging him to stop and run away. The memories are meant to act as a form of psychological manipulation, but even though Bloodshot knows the projection isn’t real, the “boy’s” pleadings and fears are not less poignant.īloodshot acknowledges the “boy’s” presence only long enough to explain his presence to the reader, but you can’t help empathizing with the emotional struggle the “boy’s” presence imposes on Bloodshot. The most surprising aspect of Camp’s script is the inclusion of a holographic “son” that only Bloodshot can see, courtesy of implanted memories projected by the nanites inside Bloodshot’s body. This time the super soldier is nothing more than a brain encased in a uber-tough mech, and Deniz Camp delivers a story that offsets the over-the-top action with healthy helpings of heartache and delusion. BLOODSHOT: UNLEASHED #2 is a trippy story that messes with Bloodshot’s head as he faces off against the next defective super soldier unleashed on the world.
