If you've been reading Bloodshot Reborn lately --- and folks, you should be reading Bloodshot --- then you already know that it's one of the most fun, action-packed thrill rides in comics right now. I mean, the current storyline is essentially Predator, but all of the people being hunted are Bloodshots, including a nano-active indestructible dog named Bloodhound, and that's pretty much everything I want out of my adventure stories.

But with the book's relaunch in October as the four-issue Bloodshot USA looming large, that raises the question of just how Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite are going to top what they've already done. And now, with a preview of the first issue, we know exactly how.

First, they're going to infect the entire population of Manhattan with Bloodshot nanites that'll turn them into mindless killing machines, and second --- oh hell yes --- Ninjak's getting involved. Check it out below!

Project Rising Spirit – America’s greatest exporter of classified weapons technology – has achieved a breakthrough: a contagious, airborne nanite dispersion prototype that can turn the population of any city into an army of indestructible soldiers. A doomsday virus capable of destroying an enemy nation from the inside out. A machine-made pathogen that can completely rewrite human physiology…and hardcode every man, woman, and child with the same cutting-edge technology that created their greatest weapon: Bloodshot.

But now…Project Rising Spirit’s top-secret contagion has been released onto the streets of America’s greatest metropolis: New York City. As mayhem engulfs Manhattan, Bloodshot must lead the most dangerous invasion ever waged on American soil and keep a runaway pandemic from toppling armies and governments…and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

On October 26th, discover “THE FUTURE OF VALIANT” with a perfect jumping-on point to the most acclaimed publisher in comics today as Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite plunge New York City into chaos for BLOODSHOT U.S.A. #1 (of 4) – featuring covers from Kano (Gotham Central), Doug Braithwaite (NINJAK), Dave Johnson (Superman: Red Son), Ryan Stegman (Uncanny Avengers), Cully Hamner (Detective Comics), and Butch Guice (Captain America)!
