But also maybe this is his unwillingness to admit that those people aren't able to control him. I think, to some degree, the character is consumed by this idea that he needs to make up for what was done to him. Yeah, I think that's my take on the character. They'll jump right back in when we will come back out with the sort of remixed edition to remind everyone of what happened in Issue #7 and then it will fall in line on a regular schedule.ĭo you think Bloodshot is actually being selfish for trying to atone for the bad that he's done when just existing is such a danger to the rest of the world? Having that gap between the two issues where there was not intended to be a gap left readers salivating and waiting for the next part of the story. I think Valiant did the best to try and roll with the punches. So obviously best-laid plans of mice and men and all of that.

And then, of course, it was released the same weekend where things started closing down because the international worldwide pandemic was occurring. It's was supposed to be welcomed by a waiting world with open arms and everybody was excited. Not ideal, especially since you know that Issue #7 was supposed to come out, and then the movie was supposed to be released. How was it having to sit for five months waiting for Issue #8 to finally come out?

Issue #7 of Bloodshot ends with a pretty big cliffhanger ending.

You can see the elements of the action movies of the '80s and '90s where it's sort of the essential hero against overwhelming odds that sometimes ends with that Schwarzenegger style movie rescue. There's no doubt about it that when you're reading Bloodshot it looks like you're seeing the movie. It's also very much an action movie sort of genre.
