There isn’t really anything beyond that, and it doesn’t set up this mysterious organization as a really recognizable or compelling antagonist for Bloodshot - rather just another faceless organization that wants to stop him because he’s dangerous. The majority of the scene is someone explaining who Bloodshot is as a very clunky attempt at exposition, and saying that he is a threat who must be stopped. Unfortunately, this does very little to set up a direction. The action scenes can be entertaining, but there is very little of substance between them, making it all feel like a long slog.Īfter the nonstop action sequences is three pages of exposition followed up by a stinger intended to set up the direction for the book going forward. He spends more time singing while blowing himself up than showing any amount of character depth. The book spends more time depicting the soldiers being scared of Bloodshot than it does showing Bloodshot doing anything unique. There’s a scene of Bloodshot promising a feast to hostages he’s rescuing, which portrays some of his kindness, but beyond that there’s very little to make him an interesting character at all. There’s some plot exposition done by men in suits, but the majority of the issue is action-packed with Bloodshot making quips and terrifying the soldiers he’s fighting. The book seems geared for fans of action franchises.
