I didn't have any intention of reading this given my preconception of Bloodshot as another Punisher/Wolverine clone. I was wrong, the story isn't by the numbers and the exposition on what's really going on is more cinematic than plodding.

My only complaint is the colours. I just have such a poor reaction to a style that eschews inking for gradient skin tones. It just looks... off. I can't quite put my finger to it, but there's something to be said for old-school inks and colours conveying more dynamism than the uncanny valley of heavily saturated panels.
