This January, Valiant is sending Bloodshot and the
expendable commandos of H.A.R.D. Corps into action alongside legendary artist
and Valiant icon Bart Sears (X-O Manowar) for "GET SOME!" – an
all-new story arc beginning in Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #18!
As revealed today at MTV Geek, Sears will join ongoing
co-writers Christos Gage and Joshua Dysart for an all-new, two-part story
pitting Valiant's 21st century shock troops against the first wave of
superhuman specialists.
"['Get Some' is] both a term that’s used going into
a war zone, referring to confirmed kills, as well as a catch phrase often used
by action heroes," Gage told MTV Geek. "We’re being a bit facetious
in that, with the premise and setup, it could appear like this is a straightforward
action-fest, but with me and Josh at the helm, it’s inevitably going to take
some weird and subversive turns."
Brought back from the dead and infused with cutting-edge
nanotechnology, Bloodshot escaped to bring war down upon his former masters at
Project Rising Sprit...but now they've made him an offer he can't refuse.
Partnered with the weaponized men and women of the H.A.R.D. Corps, this black
budget, technologically-augmented strike force is facing off against a network
of terrorist saboteurs in the heart of the Persian Gulf! But as Bloodshot digs
into the multinational oil conglomerate that's signing his paychecks, he'll
soon find himself confronted by the complex truth behind the terror – and
face-to-face with an older, scrappier, more grizzled generation of superhuman
soldier from the glory days of proxy wars and state-sponsored assassination.
As the next installment of Valiant's MUST READ VALIANT
campaign, Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #18 – featuring covers by Clayton Crain
(Ghost Rider), Lewis LaRosa (Punisher Max) and Cully Hamner (Red, Blue Beetle)
– is a perfect entry point into the series that Uproxx calls "fun, snarky,
and fast-paced; pretty much a perfect read for action fans"!
