But it also marks a big shift for Bloodshot. “ picks up right where Bloodshot USA and Bloodshot Reborn #0 left off.
With that comic ending in March, it paves the way for the next chapter of the character’s journey. She will play a major role in the series and in Bloodshot's mythology moving forward.” Lemire first started writing Bloodshot when he did a soft-reboot of the character with Bloodshot Reborn. “I can say that her name is Jessie, she is the daughter of Ray/Bloodshot and Magic, and she is a ton of fun to write. “There is a lot of mystery around the character and that mystery will be a major driving force for the story, so I don’t want too spoil much,” Lemire teased about Bloodshot’s daughter. This new series has a dual timeline structure where one story follows Bloodshot in the present and the other follows his eight year-old daughter in the future just as she inherits her father’s powers. Salvation will be a series that explores faith, revenge and parenthood, which is what I originally wanted to focus on anyway.” (Click through the slideshow below for an exclusive first look at some uncolored pages from Bloodshot Salvation #1.)
So instead I've adapted and adjusted things and focused more on the aspects of the story that excited me. And if I wasn't feeling it, I knew the reader wouldn't either. “I know, personally, I get enough politics on a day-to-day basis and know that it's the last thing I want to read about in my comics.
That's the joy of working really far ahead, it allows me to get a sense of the series as a whole and shift things. So I have removed many of those elements from the series altogether. And I also felt that including the white supremacist/alt-right angle was just distracting from the story I really wanted to tell with Salvation. That stuff was feeling very heavy-handed. “So, Bloodshot will not longer be going up against the alt-right or any white supremacists in this series. “The more I worked on the book, the more the political aspects I had planned just started to feel obvious and forced,” Lemire told IGN.
