4.0
Spilling out of [b:The Valiant|24830026|The Valiant|Jeff Lemire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1424493161l/24830026._SY75_.jpg|44472869], Lemire begins a new era in Bloodshot's story.
The original runs of Bloodshot were pretty much, What If Wolverine Was Also The Punisher? A super soldier experiment with guns, fabricated by a secret government-related organization is given healing powers and his memory wiped so many times that he doesn't know who he is, but he knows he has to avenge his family. Protect his family. That part's unclear, as he never knew which version of his family was real.
It was intriguing, and blended well with the [b:Harbinger Wars|18128654|Harbinger Wars|Joshua Dysart|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1373226495l/18128654._SY75_.jpg|25463126]. The character resurfaced in the [b:Unity, Volume 3: Armor Hunters|23625163|Unity, Volume 3 Armor Hunters|Matt Kindt|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1417104966l/23625163._SY75_.jpg|43230697] and began to help Valiant's version of The Avengers, and then in Valiant,.
In this volume, we add two hallucinatory characters and a living sidekick into the mix, and, surprisingly, it makes the series even better. I wasn't initially sold on the hallucination characters but Lemire uses them wisely to forward the overall plot of the series.
If you enjoy Punisher, Wolverine, or good ol' vigilantes trying to stay on the Straight & Narrow 'cept they're haunted by ghosts series then this series was tailor-made for you.
