Following from our last review, we chose this issue to continue so as to give you, our readers a feel of what to expect from issue to issue of Bloodshot. Here is the big 25th anniversary issue. So we have a main story then a few short stories including one-page so-called humour pieces. The one-pages didn't do anything for me and I feel that it was a waste and better to have filled up the space with posters!But the main story once again delivers including Bart Sears the artist
We see Bloodshot on the operating table as various parties including his handlers around and we are left to guess at the true meaning of their words right from the start of the tale to the end. Did it happen? How much is truth? And how much are memory implants?
But what's really touching here is that it wraps up the first 25th in a nice manner because there is a miniseries out that takes off from here and serves as connecting to 26th or rather vol 2. What we mean here is that Bloodshot finally realizes who he is (or thinks he is) and goes off in search of his love who thought he was dead. But again, is she real or a figment of his imagination?
Unfortunately, real or otherwise, his handlers and others are after him to prevent him from reverting to a more humane type of killing machine and thus it is a race against time to get away, discover himself and finding and saving is love
And once more, all told in one
