From a posh girls’ boarding school, to the slimy gutter of the London punk scene, to sniffing voodoo glue in a Louisiana swamp…how did the Punk Mambo haul herself from the upper crust to the backwater? Now, Punk Mambo is about to head back home to spread some much-needed anarchy in the UK! The punks and the voodoo priests she used to know have cleaned themselves up, and she’s a loud, belching ghost from their past, come to break in the new furniture…and break some faces!

Preview: Bloodshot #12 Reaps Revenge on Harbinger Wars!

Posted on by

Valiant has released a preview of Bloodshot #12 – the next blood-stained chapter in Bloodshot’s one-man mission to the heart of the Harbinger Wars by writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Barry Kitson!

It’s payback time! After Dr. Emanuel Kuretich freed Bloodshot from Project Rising Spirit, he promised that the answers to Bloodshot’s identity would be found inside PRS’ secret Nevada facility. He lied. Instead, Bloodshot discovered two dozen super-powered psiot children – children that Kuretich then manipulated him into setting free. Now that the kids are out and have ignited the Harbinger Wars on the Vegas strip, Bloodshot is all that stands between them and the opposing forces of Toyo Harada and Peter Stanchek. But Bloodshot hasn’t forgotten about Kuretich. And he’s about to reap his revenge.

The series that Comic Vine calls “the best big action book on the shelves” fires off a crucial turning point in the Harbinger Wars on June 19th, only in Bloodshot #12 – also featuring a limited 8-Bit Variant by artist Matthew Waite!

Then, witness Bloodshot’s first, no-holds-barred battle against Peter Stanchek and the Renegades in Harbinger #13 – in stores the same day!

Bloodshot continues his one-man incursion behind the enemy lines of the Harbinger Wars right here on May 15th with the next chapter of an all-new, self-contained story arc for the most brutal book on the stands!

Everyone says they want what’s best for the children…but Bloodshot’s the only one who’s willing to fight for it. After a lifetime of lies, destruction and pain, he’s vowed to use his extraordinary abilities to do one simple thing: keep these kids alive, even if they’re terrified of him. The war for the escaped children of Project Rising Spirit, however, has been waging longer than Bloodshot realizes. And what can one soldier do when he’s up against two powerful, secret armies?

Preview – Bloodshot #5 The Assault on Project Rising Spirit Begins!

Posted on by

Valiant has hooked us up with a preview of Bloodshot #5 – the FIRST ISSUE of an all-new arc by writer Duane Swierczynski and artists Manuel Garcia and Arturo Lozzi, and a perfect jumping-on point for the series at the brutal heart of the new Valiant Universe!

Bloodshot is finally free of the memories that have haunted him since his awakening – but now even greater mysteries remain. Who was he before he was transformed into a walking weapon? And just what purpose did he serve for Project Rising Spirit? Now, a rogue PRS scientist has told Bloodshot the location of the answers he needs – and they’re buried deep within an off-the-grid, savagely fortified black site that will rain hellfire down upon anyone who dares trespass. And, once he’s inside, he may just discover that he’s not the only indestructible killing machine PRS ever dreamed into the world…

What is Project Rising Spirit’s true function in the Valiant Universe? Who will answer for their crimes? And what darker secrets yet await in the recesses of their classified compound? The answers you’ve been waiting for will beckon on November 14th in the powder-burned first chapter of “The Rise & The Fall,” only in Bloodshot #5!
