Gradually, the man who might be named Ray Garrison grows from a discontented, haunted husk into someone who is working to heal his heart and willingly pursuing his own happiness. Each of its five story arcs turns on the title character’s relationship to himself. But first and foremost, Reborn is the story of a very damaged person healing and learning how to be human.
Make no mistake, there’s thrilling action, more than a little daring heroism and some grade-A all-caps COMICS moments. Drawn by Mico Suayan, Raul Allen, Butch Guice, Lewis LaRosa, and Doug Braithwaite and written by Jeff Lemire, Reborn (and its miniseries conclusion Bloodshot U.S.A.) is something rare and wonderful – a superhero comic meant for an adult audience that is genuinely grown-up. And as the protagonist of the 2015-2016 comic Bloodshot Reborn, he’s the core of one of my all-time favorite superhero stories. But there is one thing that I can say unequivocally – Bloodshot, when drawn and written well, is a very compelling anti-hero.
Its qualities as an adaptation and as a film have yet to be determined. Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot movie comes out this week ( get your tickets now!).
