When you have a page with fourteen panels, and the page doesn’t seem cramped or rushed, that’s next-level comic artistry.

It also helps to have an expert grasp on panel composition as Davis-Hunt shows here. When advanced weapons, massive vehicles, and more are thrown around as weapons, the high level of lived-in detail brings authenticity to the action.

Davis-Hunt has a unique eye for small details that work exceptionally well with gore. Jon Davis-Hunt’s art is phenomenal in this issue (and sorely missed on the Shadowman title). The writing is not only solid, but it’s also detailed enough to tell you more than you expect in an issue comprised of mostly action scenes.

Little details are fleshed out through the action and their taunts to inform the reader how the characters think and what motivates them. This issue also makes for a solid jumping-on point for the deft way Camp shows rather than tells you about Bloodshots’ background and abilities as well as that of his first antagonist, Lt. For new readers, this issue makes for a perfect jumping-on point. You understand the mission almost immediately without the need for lengthy exposition or background information. The benefit of this plot type is its simplicity and speed. The setup is a simple quest story where Bloodshot has to make his way through the list of escapees to stop them before their unstable brand of mayhem kills thousands. The plot centers around Bloodshot receiving intel that a collection of supersoldiers (like him but with different abilities) have escaped from a secret military prison where they were dumped for being too dangerous or unstable. You find out where Bloodshot’s been, who put him on the trail of his latest assignment, and get a face full of ammo in every available inch of page space. BLOODSHOT: UNLEASHED #1 resurrects the Valiant fan-favorite character for a new adventure that doesn’t pull any punches or try to get too clever for its own good.
