Valiant has announced that longtime actor, screenwriter and comics scribe Kevin Grevioux has joined the Bloodshot Rising Spirit creative team of rising stars Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson and legendary artist Ken Lashley.
Grevioux comes on board to script and co-write the series, which hits comic shops on Nov. 14.
"This is one of Valiant's quintessential characters, flagship-type characters that really carries the essence of the franchise," Grevioux said. "We hope to bring truly what fans are used to. A lot of bold, exciting action with a twist of fun. That's always a great combination."
Grevioux reunites with Lashley and editor Karl Bollers on the project, all of whom have worked on various projects together for over a dozen years throughout their careers in the comic book industry, including Marvel's What If? and Underworld: Blood Wars.
"Very few times in your career do you get a chance to work with a creative team that gets what your strengths are. That's what this is about. I know that my strength is energy and power and this kind of stuff," Lashley said. "Every artist, what we really want to do is we want to draw exciting things. That's what this is about.'"
"This is our opportunity to tell the definitive Bloodshot origin, which we've hinted at," editor Karl Bollers said. "I think that that's really going to excite people who may not be that familiar with the character."
Here's how Valiant describes the series:
"In the early days of the private military contractor Project Rising Spirit, the nanite-infused super-soldier who would one day become their most violent and valuable asset was a resource to be mined -- and it was up to an enterprising team of scientists to ensure he did what he was told. But a memory is a tricky thing...and the man Bloodshot used to be wonft let go of his past so easily..."
The first issue features covers by Felipe Massafera, David Mack, Staz Johnson and Doug Braithwaite. it will also launch Valiant's Glass Series, a cutting-edge concept in which strictly limited runs of upcoming first issue variant covers will be printed via a special multi-colored process on a carefully devised pane of glass, each featuring artwork by Braithwaite.
