There's no turning back now.

The man with a past he can’t remember has to make one of the most difficult decisions of his life. Should he play the role of savior and unleash a force that could possibly destabilize the world? Or should he settle into the role he knows best – killer – and wipe the slate clean, once and for all? Full of shocks, heart-stopping action and more backstabbing than a dozen productions of Julius Caesar, Bloodshot has his finger on the trigger – and the shot that will be heard around the Valiant Universe gets fired right here.

	Au fait, c'est du bon Van Lente sur Archer & Armstrong?

Il a remis le tandem au gout du jour et le 5 casse des briques tellement que c'est bon ,celui que l'on ne doit pas nommer et Archer sont peut etre meilleur que la série originale tout en gardant les bases solides de la genese sans Unity,un truc de fou cette série,si tu dois en lire qu'une seule Gilles c'est bien celle ci,d'ailleurs dans le 4 ou le 5 on a le gag de la banane amélioré clin d'oeil sympathique et dans le 2 on a droit a Klatuu barada,etc.. et d'autres références délirantes,puceau un jour,puceau pour toujours (Archer)
