It’s been awhile since I read a Bloodshot, but since the movie came out today, I figured what the hell. It’s nice to see that our favorite super soldier who is made from self-repairable nanites if doing good deeds. Unfortunately, the tables are turned, and he is being used as a weapon once more.

No rest for the wicked as the tables turn on Bloodshot. As with most Bloodshot books this is another high-octane entry, but it also gives us a little vulnerability. We get to explore Bloodshot’s character a little more, as we see him in a situation that is uncommon for him. It’s almost cute. Once this cute and rare moment passes, Bloodshot gets thrown right back into the fire and ends up exactly where he doesn’t want to be. This is the start of a new story arc and it starts with a bang and we have an immediate threat for our hero to overcome, but will he be able to. I’m intrigued, so I would say the story of this issues did its job.

The artwork is great. Everything is drawn well and each panel is easy to understand the context of the scene. The action is easy to follow, and I did not have to give any double or triple takes. The colors popped well and there was no over shadowing or lack of details in the background that are noticeable.

Overall, I enjoyed this entry into the world of Bloodshot. I give Bloodshot #7 Burned Part 1, 7 capes out of 10
