Can ya tell me what's revealed in the IGN article? I would look at it myself, but it's blocked here at my school for "games"...

[tchalla8]

It's a interview with Matt Kindt talking him about how he got involved with Valiant and was brought on to do Bloodshot #0

[BugsySig]

Matt Kindt is a talented writer and I know people who will buy the book just because ChrisCross is on art.

Kindt also seemed to leave the door open for working on other VALIANT projects. I'd be happy with that.

Oh, and does that "Bloodshot" on the lower right look like Rai?

Matt Kindt and Bloodshot #0 is awesome news!

Mind MGMT is BRILLIANT! One of my favorite, most inventive series of the past year.

LOVE this news. I hope we can bring him on board permanently!

[tchalla8]

Wanna bet there's an X-O #0 announcement coming soon?

[pixierosa]

I think this looks like a great book. Finally, Bloodshot origins and backstory!

[iwantvaliant]

They should make a platinum variant. Than I can finally say I have a Bloodshot #0 Platinum.

That is the worst promo art/possible cover ever.

[jaden_sai]

Today's news surprised me in a good way...

I like Matt Kindt, but never put him with Bloodshot (in my head).
Not familiar with ChrisCross though...

Looking forward to this and would be happy if he gets more Valiant work

[The Dirt Gang]

I loved Matt Kindt's Pistolwhip and Mephisto & the Empty Box. I"ve heard nothing but good things about Mind MGMT. I wonder if this BS #0 will have any nods to the original and expand upon the whole Valiant Universe.

You're probably refering to Matt Kindt's cover. I like his art style on MIND MGMT and like this cover but its obviously not for everyone.

Lupacchino's wrap around cover is pretty sweet

[DrSoup007]

Okay...OmyGOSH! I did not see that coming. I'm freaking excited now. I like the cover. It's weird but fascinating. This is definitely gonna be interesting.

[KXXX]

Lupacchino's wrap around cover is pretty sweet

Yes indeed!

[comicsyte95]

Cant wait to read Bloodshots origin and find out who he really is.

[Dr. Solar]

This one caught me by surprised. I am excited.

That is the BEST promo art/possible cover ever.

Fixed.

[Big Red]

So Duane Swierczynski is off the book?

I'm a little disappoined...

Yeah, I like him. But they can't stay around forever. Thank goodness Josh Dysart is the exception.

all covers should be mainstream superhero art.

Don't be a *SQUEE* and put words in my mouth. You're sarcastically implying I don't like it because it's not like everything else. Take the hipster glasses off and see my comment for what it is.

First, I don't read much other than Valiant. Second, they've had some pretty non-standard covers thusfar. There's been a lot of varying opinions on across the board, regardless of how 'mainstream' or otherwise each cover has been.

I don't like it. I think the sketches look like napkin doodles. As for everything Valiant has put out as a cover or even as promo art, that's the worst in my eyes.

[Phoenix8008]

I don't care for that artwork personally, but I'll get over it. So Kindt is just writing the #0 issue only, right? Or is he the ongoing writer from that point forward?

Looking forward to getting more info on Bloodshot's past, even if he won't know all of it himself! That opens up some neat storytelling possibilities if the audience knows stuff the character doesn't in the story. Like in a movie where you're yelling at the screen "Don't kiss her Luke! She's your SISTERRRRRR!!!" Except with Bloodshot, it'd more likely be "Don't kill HER Bloodshot, she's your MOTHER!!! Ooops, too late, you beheaded her with a salad fork..."

[Burrito Boy]

I'm with KXXX on this one. That cover looks ugly.

[DrSoup007]

"Not the salad fork! I just washed that!"

Only 20 posts and the kid has already struck gold. My hat is off to you, sir.

I don't even know why I need a salad fork, I still washed it. You never know, you may need to kill your own mother with it.
