Intriguing :hm: That cover gives me a bit of a Lone Wolf and Cub vibe too. Which is not a bad thing.

What will be the focus of the future-timeline narrative? Who’ll be appearing, and how is that story informed by the present-day storyline with Bloodshot?

I can’t say too much without giving it all away. But one BIG hint is the word “future.” I’ll leave it there.
Future Force...?

The storyline, announced earlier today via the Washington Post, centers around the character’s relationship with his girlfriend Magic, which has quickly developed into something strong and real – and is set to deepen further with the news that Magic is pregnant, and that they have a daughter together. But Magic’s family members are white supremacists and, hearing the news, they kidnap the pair and force Bloodshot to return to his violent ways in order to get her back.

Because Bloodshot isn't white enough for white supremacists? :?

I think the news articles are picking up on the white-supremacy thing as a sensational topic & running a little far with it to get attention. What sounds far more interesting to me is that we will be skipping ahead 8~10 years or so for the 'future' stories that will involve their nanite powered daughter. And Rampage will be involved in there somewhere too :thumb:

For Archer & Armstrong or Quantum & Woody this sounds like it could be serviceable enough, provided it's executed right. For Bloodshot, however, it honestly sounds pretty terrible. And sure, the execution angle still applies, but Lemire has not inspired any confidence in me.

Sorry to disappoint but this is a Bloodshot title, so no violence, but lots of hugs

So if the main storyline is set 8 years in the future, does that suggest that Bloodshot will be off the table in the "present day" universe for at least a few years (as with XO)? I was hoping he would show up in Harbinger Wars 2.

Also those preview pages from FCBD look amazing.

I don't see why he would have to be out of the picture until then. I fully expect him to be in Harby Wars 2, and to have comics going on next year and the year after to compliment the folks hearing about and seeing the movies. I totally expect a scene in or after the credits of Harbinger that introduces Bloodshot, like he's being activated/woken up to go hunt some psiots (implying he's hunting the Renegades, but actually being sent into what turns out to be the trap of the former PRS scientist that lets him off his chain).

Isn't it the reverse? I thought the Bloodshot/Magic/White Supremacists storyline in the present day was the main story, and the 8 years later daughter story was the side story.

Just to make sure I understand, BloodShot Reborn will end with the #0 issue and BloodShot Salvation will be the third launch of the character? Have they told us how many issues this series will go for? It is not a mini-series, like BloodShot USA, is that correct?

Thanks,

Then you'll have to wait until early 2018... almost a year even. That's a long time for Salvation! :P
