review 1: Duane Swierczynski can certainly write action. This book is almost entirely action piece to action piece, though it still manages to build an interesting story around a nanotech super soldier. But this actually explores a lot of the ramifications of nanotech, more than any other comic I've read. The book sets up Bloodshot, gives him his reason for revenge, and sets up his 'team.' Bloodshot is sympathetic even as he's a walking weapon of mass destruction. It's more energetic than the mainstream books I read, and has little issue with going over the top with the violence. Maybe a bit too much, but overall it's a good read.
review 2: honestly, I've been a fan of the valiant books since the relaunch, they continue to impress. Of all their offerings, bloodsho... moret is definitely the weakest. the writer takes a big gamble by dropping the reader into the middle of things leaving us as disoriented as the protagonist. The gamble doesn't always pay off. It wasn't until the last chapter that it really peaked my interest for volume two. But given the tires to harbinger wars, i am intrigued to see what this story has in store. less
