There are eight million people in New York City…and every single one of them is about to become a killing machine. Welcome to BLOODSHOT U.S.A.!

Valiant has released an advance preview of Bloodshot U.S.A. #1 (of 4) – the FIRST ISSUE of the all-new standalone event from New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire and superstar artist Doug Braithwaite and the next hit series from “The Future of Valiant” initiative! From the Bronx to Broadway, an unstoppable, nanite-enhanced pathogen is about to turn New York City’s populace against itself…and Bloodshot is the only soldier tough enough to lead a one-man invasion of the city that never sleeps! And if he falls, the nation won’t stand a chance against the most dangerous outbreak in American history…

Project Rising Spirit – America’s greatest exporter of classified weapons technology – has achieved a breakthrough: a contagious, airborne nanite dispersion prototype that can turn the population of any city into an army of indestructible soldiers. A doomsday virus capable of destroying an enemy nation from the inside out. A machine-made pathogen that can completely rewrite human physiology…and hardcode every man, woman, and child with the same cutting-edge technology that created their greatest weapon: Bloodshot.

But now…Project Rising Spirit’s top-secret contagion has been released onto the streets of America’s greatest metropolis: New York City. As mayhem engulfs Manhattan, Bloodshot must lead the most dangerous invasion ever waged on American soil and keep a runaway pandemic from toppling armies and governments…and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

Featuring covers from Kano, Doug Braithwaite, Dave Johnson, Ryan Stegman, Cully Hamner, and Butch Guice!
