Bloodshot - by Fred Van Lente (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Bourne Identity meets X-Men in Bloodshot, an all-new origin story and a heart-pounding adventure featuring the popular comic book character from Valiant Entertainment.

He wakes up in the middle of the woods with chalk-white skin, the ability to heal from any injury, and no memory of who or what he is. He is Bloodshot, and now he's caught between the shadowy defense contractor that wants to capture him, and the underground network of dangerous psychics that want to destroy him.

Now, Kalea, the young woman who found him, has a target on her back just for trying to help. To save himself and his friends, Bloodshot must stay alive long enough to unravel the mystery of his own identity--and deal with the real possibility that his own family are the ones who most want him dead.
