Rather than rely solely on action, Seeley takes a slower, more thoughtful route for “Bloodshot” #1, not dissimilar from his work on “Revival” at Image Comics. As a seasoned writer in a multitude of rather violent genres, he puts an interesting spin on the concept for the new volume. Seeley is no stranger to Bloodshot, having written the character in the Free Comic Book Day 2019 Special. However, as has been seen before for both this franchise and its latest writer, Tim Seeley’s second foray into the character’s tale proves that one should not judge a book by its cover, nor by its title. A nanotechnology-enhanced gunslinger with pale skin and red eyes doesn’t appear to have a lot going for it beyond rampant violence, and a gore-infused name like “Bloodshot” doesn’t help much either.

When it comes to Bloodshot, the concept itself feels steeped in the Dark Age of Comic Books.
