It was about here I rather lost my grip on the plot. Ray takes off after the bad guy, then finds his reality folding in on him. Well, not simple exactly, but pretty dumb. He takes off to kill the louse who shot his spouse.īut things aren’t as simple as they appear. Wait, what?īut Ray is revived, and furious. It all goes wrong, his wife is killed, and then so is Ray. Anyway, at the start of Bloodshot we see soldier of fortune Ray chasing after the ratbags who kidnapped his wife. Well perhaps not so much furious as glum and monosyllabic. He’s played by the Furious half of the Fast and Furious franchise, Vin Diesel. It’s violent, it’s ridiculously complicated, while still emotionally shallow and it involves a lead character called Ray something, who looks positively undressed without a gun in his hand. Now this is clearly catnip to the mostly adolescent male fans of comic-books like Bloodshot.
Which brings me to a film called Bloodshot – I have to admit I’d never heard of it – the jewel in the crown of Valiant Comics – I’d never heard of them either.īut Valiant’s Bloodshot is a big deal in the comic-book world – the tale of a super-soldier constantly being brought back from the dead by a nefarious scientist. What’s needed for a hit movie based on a comic-book is… well, everyone else.
The fact is, comic-book fans may be passionate and obsessive, but they’re not as numerous as events like Comic Con would have you believe. Now, we can exclusively reveal what's coming next in the Year of the Valiant, which should have both longtime and new readers excited.The movie landscape is littered with the whited bones of failed comic-book projects.

The three new titles are set to give fans exactly what they've wanted, as the Valiant Comics shared universe expands and core characters are given the spotlight.Įarlier this year, Valiant Comics revealed the Year of the Valiant, a year-long celebration of the Valiant Universe seeing the publisher bringing back fan-favorite characters, introducing new titles with new creators, and the formation of new superteam within their comic universe.
