Inside BLOODSHOT U.S.A.

A virus turns New York City into ground zero for a legion of killing machines.

Valiant shared a first look inside BLOODSHOT U.S.A. #1. This is first issue of a standalone event roaring out of THE FUTURE OF VALIANT. Jeff Lemire and artist Doug Braithwaite unleash this  one-man invasion.

Here’s the official word with a new look inside the first chapter:

“Project Rising Spirit – America’s greatest exporter of classified weapons technology – has achieved a breakthrough: a contagious, airborne nanite dispersion prototype that can turn the population of any city into an army of indestructible soldiers. A doomsday virus capable of destroying an enemy nation from the inside out. A machine-made pathogen that can completely rewrite human physiology…and hardcode every man, woman, and child with the same cutting-edge technology that created their greatest weapon: Bloodshot.

But now…Project Rising Spirit’s top-secret contagion has been released onto the streets of America’s greatest metropolis: New York City. As mayhem engulfs Manhattan, Bloodshot must lead the most dangerous invasion ever waged on American soil and keep a runaway pandemic from toppling armies and governments…and threatening to destroy humanity itself.”

It’s one nation under Bloodshot. America’s greatest city faces invasion from within and without in BLOODSHOT U.S.A. #1 on October 26th.  The first issue will come with covers from Kano, Doug Braithwaite, Dave Johnson, Ryan Stegman, Cully Hamner and Butch Guice.
