In fact, I walked past the book multiple times across multiple weeks before finally seeing it and making the purchase. This is one of the worst 1st issue covers I've ever seen.
Aside from the overwhelming positivity surrounding the art direction of Brett and _ this book has problems. Bloodshot has never looked better and it's pretty clear that he is having a blast on this series. Brett is one of the best artists working today and this issue reflects that. I grabbed this issue because of the preview art from Brett Booth. I'm still reviewing that series off and on mainly because of Jeff's storytelling was so strong in conjunction with the amazing artists that helped bring that series together. The only series that has resonated with me beyond the art was Jeff Lemire's Bloodshot Salvation.
I have Bloodshot #1-3 but I probably won't review any more of this series unless something dramatic happens in issue #2.I've picked up three Bloodshot series since 2018. Good art will get the reader's attention and may get the initial purchase but a good story keeps readers coming back. It also led to a comic book bust that nearly destroyed the comic book industry. The downside was that most of the comics from the era contained pretty pictures, but don't hold up at all. In the '90s, a lot of garbage writing got a pass because of the popularity of the artists of the time and rampant speculation. The downside is that once you got the book in your hands and actually read it, the comic still needs to have a good story. Artists like Jim Lee, Brett Booth, and Todd Mcfarlane can push units on pretty much any title they put their names on, at least initially.
He spoke about Comic Publishers pushing writers over artists to the detriment of the comic book industry. I watched a recent video by Yo Boi Zack, from the Comics Matter, Youtube Channel.
