Bloodshot is a guilty pleasure: super violent, but not evil.   He's trying to do the best he can, but also can't remember his past.   He's been experimented on, and has nanites that heal him from almost any injury.   

And I love him so damn much.  

In this, his amnesia is abused, by implanting false memories of families and his service in the military.   These emotional hooks are used to manipulate him into running suicidal missions, again and again and again.   When the different memories all crash into each other, Bloodshot starts to realize what's happening to him - and once again must find a way to escape this experimentation. 

It's twisted, and it's right up my alley. 

Yesterday was buuuusy!   

Anyway, when Ninjak is blackmailed into stealing from MI6, it's him against the Valiant Universe.   Fun, showing what Ninjak will do in an extreme situation, and it promises a lot more tension.   

Ray realizes how much he's screwed up, when Ninjak comes to save him with some snappy one-liners, and a sword. 

Still not sure what Ray's doing in the future, but I'm willing to let that story play out; I trust Lemire, and I trust this bit of storytelling in particular.  

Man, this makes me want more Bloodshot.  

Daddy's history sets up a new threat, as Daddy tries to right what he sees as a wrong with his brother Danny.  

And although Bloodshot appears to be dead, Punk Mambo provides a connection - and surprising revelation as to where Bloodshot is.   I kinda need issue five now.  Although I guess I can wait until next Wednesday...

This gets more complex, more heartbreaking, as Bloodshot finds and confronts Daddy, Magic's father, and the leader of a cult.   Bloodshot is furious over what Daddy's done to Magic, and how Daddy is trying to get Magic back, breaking up the family that Magic and Bloodshot have made.   

No doubt Daddy wants Magic to bring her daughter, Jessie, to the cult, and although she has no plans to do this, the mere thought infuriates Bloodshot.
