Bloodshot U.S.A. #[nn]

A weathered American flag, eaten through with rust and corrosion, stares back at you from this Valiant trade — its stars and stripes half-consumed, dominated by a massive biohazard symbol that makes the threat feel unmistakably national in scale. Kano's cover design is stark and unsettling, trading superhero flash for something closer to a condemned quarantine notice. Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite's *Bloodshot U.S.A.* promises the kind of 2017 Valiant storytelling that keeps the stakes grounded even when the concepts go frighteningly large.
