Valiant Entertainment is exultant to present the first look inside Bloodshot Reborn #15. On July 13th, it is the sun, surf, and suicide missions when New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (The Valiant, Moon Knight) and Valiant Entertainment-exclusive superstar-in-the-making Mico Suayan (Bloodshot Reborn) plunge headlong into the next shocking chapter of ‘Bloodshot Island.’ As the unstoppable killing machine codenamed Deathmate hunts Bloodshot and his fellow castaways from Project Rising Spirit, all hope hinges on surviving the seemingly endless cycle of tortures that this tropical paradise turned killing field has to offer.
He lives, dies and rejuvenates each day, Bloodshot and his predecessors awake to find themselves hunted by the unstoppable engine of destruction called Deathmate. And each day, they die only to begin their escape once more after the nano-technology inside them repairs their fatal injuries. As Bloodshot and his new teammate’s spring to understand the brutal logic behind their seaside prison, will the biggest threat to their survival be the horrors that await in the jungle around them or each other?
On July 13th, 2016, no one escapes ‘Bloodshot Island’ unscathed as Jeff Lemire and Mico Suayan bring a new dawn, a new day, and a new death to Valiant Entertainment’s nanite-enhanced powerhouse.

Bloodshot was created by Kevin VanHook and Yvel Guichet in 1992 during a wave of popularity for the Valiant Universe and became an immediate hit with readers, with the first issue ranking number 4 on the Diamond Comic Distributors Top 100 for November 1992. As one of the most popular Valiant Entertainment characters, Bloodshot had a continuing run of success, selling millions of copies until Valiant Entertainment was purchased out for $65 million by Acclaim Entertainment. The comics have been translated into many languages including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Filipino and Chinese, Turkish, among others. In 1996, Bloodshot and a majority of other Valiant Universe characters were rebooted under the banner of Acclaim Comics. The re-launch saw the title moving in a new direction which could be more easily adaptable to video games. Valiant Entertainment is the current owner of the Valiant Character Catalog, including Bloodshot.
A new volume of Bloodshot was released in July 2012, written by Duane Swierczynski, following Valiant Entertainment relaunch.
