Bloodshot – Valiant Comics – (1993–1996) – Volume 1 - #0–51

📘 Series Summary

A flagship title of the original Valiant Universe, Bloodshot Volume 1 tells the definitive story of Angelo Mortalli, a mob hitman turned into the ultimate killing machine. Created by Kevin VanHook and Don Perlin, Bloodshot is the result of Project Rising Spirit—a top-secret experiment that injected billions of nanites into his bloodstream. These nanomachines grant him superhuman strength, speed, and a rapid healing factor, but they also wiped his memories, leaving him a blank slate controlled by false identities.

Across 52 issues (including the essential #0 origin), Bloodshot goes rogue to reclaim his past and destroy the organization that created him. The series is celebrated for its blend of high-octane paramilitary action and psychological sci-fi. As a centerpiece of the 90s "Valiant Era," Bloodshot frequently crossed paths with other icons like Eternal Warrior, Rai, and H.A.R.D. Corps, making this run an essential piece of history for fans of tactical, technology-based superheroics.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The original debut run of the character, establishing the foundation for all future Bloodshot incarnations.
  • Includes the legendary Bloodshot #0, an essential origin story that remains a cornerstone of Valiant collectibles.
  • Features a high-pedigree creative team including Kevin VanHook, Don Perlin, and superstar artist Barry Windsor-Smith.
  • Known for its iconic Chromium covers, a hallmark of 1990s comic book production and prestige.
  • A deep dive into the Project Rising Spirit mythology, which connects to the broader Valiant continuity.
  • A complete 52-issue arc that takes the character from a government asset to an independent operative.
