Bloodshot #6

Valiant's Bloodshot #6 from July 1993 arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — the nanite-powered warrior is shown plummeting through the sky, arms flung wide and mouth open in a cry, the city grid sprawling thousands of feet below him. That bold red circle on his chest stands out against the rushing atmosphere, a stark reminder of just how much punishment this character is built to absorb. Don Perlin's pencils and John Dixon's inks give the freefall a real sense of vertigo, and the story title "Death at 10,000 Feet!" promises that whatever awaits at the bottom is anything but a soft landing.
