Bloodshot #47

Bloodshot #47 kicks off the "Badblood" story arc with a cover by Grey that puts Valiant's nanite-powered soldier front and center — pale-skinned, red-circle chest insignia blazing, dual pistols firing as shell casings scatter and explosions erupt at his feet in an icy, rock-strewn environment. It's a kinetic, no-nonsense image that captures Bloodshot at his most relentless. With Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Mark Moretti handling the writing in 1996, this one promises the kind of hard-edged action the series does best.
