Written by Jeff Lemire. Art by Mico Suayan and Jeff Lemire. Cover by Juan Doe. Bloodshot's nanites made him a nearly unstoppable killing machine.

But when a rash of shootings by gunmen who appear to look just like Bloodshot begin, his guilt will send him on a mission to stop the killers, even if it means diving headlong into the violence that nearly destroyed him.
