VALIANT'S BLOODSHOT ISLAND, DEATHMATE
Valiant Entertainment has announced "Bloodshot Island," a four-part story by writer Jeff Lemire and artist Mico Suayan that begins in June's Bloodshot Reborn #14.
Here's how the story is described:
"Stranded on a mysterious desert island with no recollection of how he got there, Bloodshot is running for his life! But as he tries to make sense of his surroundings, he's quickly discovering that this is no ordinary tropical paradise... Surrounded by decommissioned relics of the same bloodstained project that created him -- World War II Bloodshot, Cold War Bloodshot, Vietnam Bloodshot, and other antiquated experiments -- Bloodshot is about to find out where Project Rising Spirit sends it old soldiers to die...and then rejuvenate and die again! Can this seasoned band of killers trust each other long enough to survive the threats that lie in the jungle around them...and unlock the secret at the heart of the island's existence before they're each permanently retired? And just what is the sinister force called Deathmate that now hunts them at every turn...and what is its untold connection to the life Ray Garrison left behind?
"Deathmate isn't an event or a crossover -- she's much, much more. This is an all-new character, created by Jeff Lemire for Bloodshot Island and brought to life with a brilliant design by Jeff, Mico Suayan, and David Baron," said Valiant editor-in-chief Warren Simons. "The secret of her creation and purpose is a central mystery to Bloodshot Island -- and, in the very first issue alone, she cements herself as Valiant's newest A-level threat.
"Moreso than anything that's come before, Bloodshot Island is Jeff and Mico firing on all cylinders for what is sure to be Bloodshot Reborn's biggest, most action-packed storyline to date. But it's not just bullets and Bloodshots... By the time the smoke clears, the mythology behind one of Valiant's most popular and enduring heroes -- and his importance to the broader Valiant Universe -- will be forever changed by the revelations that lurk within the jungle of Bloodshot Island."
Bloodshot #14 will feature covers by Tomas Giorello, Ben Oliver, Kano, Stephen Segovia, Clayton Henry, Ryan Bodenheim Darick Robertson and Lemire.
