BLOODSHOT REBORN #14
ALL-NEW ARC! ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT! Welcome to “BLOODSHOT ISLAND”!
Stranded on a mysterious desert island, 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 getaway… 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. 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 who or what is the sinister force called DEATHMATE that now hunts them at every turn?
Creators Jeff Lemire and Mico Suayan send Bloodshot screaming into his most action-packed adventure yet as “BLOODSHOT ISLAND” ups the ante for the Valiant Universe’s most formidable soldier!

Valiant’s ambitious comics event of 2016 brings war to the 41st century – with Rai leading the charge!
Rai is smashing headfirst into New Japan with his team of hardened rebels including the Eternal Warrior and a giant X-O Manowar mech-armor that’s been dormant for centuries! But when Father transforms New Japan into an impenetrable space dragon as a defense of last resort, what hopes will the united heroes of 4001 A.D. have of freeing the citizens of New Japan from Father’s brutal reign? Will Rai have to destroy New Japan…to save it?
Writer Matt Kindt and artist Clayton Crain bring their startling vision of the year 4001 A.D. to new heights…with the fate of New Japan floating in the balance!

RAI #14 (4001 A.D.)
Rocketing out of the pages 4001 A.D…the origin of Rai revealed!
For the first time ever, witness the violent foundation of Father’s space-born utopia of New Japan…and, with it, the shocking genesis of the line of guardians that bear the name Rai! Born and bred by Father to enforce peace at any cost, follow the next Rai and their successors across two millennia as they chronicle the history of 4001 A.D. – from the launch of New Japan into orbit to the latest Rai’s crusade to bring it crashing back down to Earth!
Matt Kindt and artist CAFU bring the 41st century to life with another, all-new jumping-on point revealing the sinister history of Father’s empire…before the dawn of 4001 A.D.!

4001 A.D.: BLOODSHOT #1
Once upon a time…in the year 4001 A.D…
Centuries ago, Bloodshot was the man called Ray Garrison. Now, in the year 4001 A.D., Ray Garrison is no more…but the nanites that once thrived inside him endure still. With their master long since gone, the microscopic machines that once drove Bloodshot through every firefight, healed every wound, and calculated every outcome have one final directive left to execute…but what could it possibly be? And how will the forces of the future react when the infamous man-turned-machine called Bloodshot returns to fight another day?
The future starts now as writer Jeff Lemire and artist Doug Braithwaite bring Bloodshot barreling into the 41st century of the Valiant Universe with an all-new, standalone tale at the epicenter of 4001 A.D.
WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR #8 (“LABYRINTH” – PART 2)
Earth’s immortal soldier thought he knew pain… And then he entered the depths of his enemy’s “LABYRINTH”…
The mysterious figure known only as the Dying One is on a mission to unlock the secrets of the Eternal Warrior’s immortality…and the only way he can accomplish it is to kill him over and over again! Trapped at the heart of a miles-long gauntlet of technologically inflicted cruelties and mechanical terrors designed to dissect, examine and analyze, Gilad has finally been cornered…and he’s about to realize that if he can’t escape, he’ll simply have to survive.
Writer Robert Venditti and artist Raúl Allén engineer the next terrifying chapter of the definitive Eternal Warrior epic of the year as “LABYRINTH” draws blood!

 

DIVINITY II #3 (of 4)
The world runs red!
Abram Adams’ former teammate – the long-lost cosmonaut Myshka – has returned from deep space…and, seemingly overnight, the former Soviet Union has taken charge as the globe’s dominant economic and military force. As the Western world grapples with the ensuing chaos and confusion of Russia’s rapid return to power, Divinity and Ninjak attempt to marshal resistance against an empire enabled by the god-like will of one of its own true believers. But nothing escapes the sight of the super-powered gods that now walk among us…and our fate will be forever decided when Myshka targets Divinity for control of our world’s destiny!
The sold-out sci-fi saga that forever changed the course of the Valiant Universe turns the world upside-down all over again as Matt Kindt and artist Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY) unleash an all-new chapter!

We’re gonna need a bigger bag!
Archer and Armstrong – with the help of Mary-Maria and the Sisters of Perpetual Darkness – must stop Bacchus’ cavalcade of terror! Will our heroes be able to defeat this 40-foot foe before the party stops forever? Will Armstrong ever find that bottle of Lagavulin? Will we ever find out who or what Davey the Mackerel is?! The answers to two of these questions might possibly be found in this issue!
Creators Rafer Roberts and David Lafuente bring “IN THE BAG” to a close with a bang! Or a snap. However Armstrong’s satchel closes.

 

NINJAK #16
“THE SIEGE OF KING’S CASTLE” spirals out of control!
Roku continues to tear down Ninjak’s world brick by brick…and, now, the world’s most dangerous MI-6 operative has just found himself disavowed, out in the cold, and on the run. With no allies left to turn to, can Colin King get his bearings before Roku takes everything – including his life?
Matt Kindt and Diego Bernard pull back the layers of Roku’s plan to destroy her bitterest enemy…and reveal a shocking secret at the heart of Ninjak’s identity here as the walls fall around “THE SIEGE OF KING’S CASTLE”!
