Bloodshot Volume 1: Setting the World on Fire by Duane Swierczynski
4.0
Based on cover appearances and name, this series could easily mislead people into thinking it's some blend of Deadpool/Punisher/Rambo with some nanotech mumbo-jumbo thrown in to hand-wave away any powers plotholes or blood loss.
And in some scenes, that's kind of the case. But then! This is also a story of losing one's agency and memory. There are two (all together now) strong female characters introduced within the first four issues. There's the sharp, dynamic artwork that would make Bryan Hitch squee. Swierczynski teases a lot of pieces and angles on the board for this first book, leaving me very hopeful for the stories to come.
