Bloodshot's nanites made him a nearly unstoppable killing machine. His enhanced strength, speed, endurance, and healing made him the perfect weapon, and he served his masters at Project Rising Spirit - a private contractor trafficking in violence - very well. Now, Bloodshot is a shadow of his former self. He lives in selfimposed exile, reeling from the consequences of his past life and the recent events that nearly drove him mad. But when a rash of shootings by gunmen who appear to look just like Bloodshot begin, his guilt will send him on a mission to stop the killers, even if it means diving headlong into the violence that nearly destroyed him.

  THE WEEK IN DEPTH
I Flew With Superman...
COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: Saturday nights WCIU-TV (aka "the U") blocks out their evening timeslot for "Super Saturday Nights"; their line up consists of comic and Sci-fi classics from the fifties through the seventies. The Batman TV series, Star Trek, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Wonder Woman and Svengoolie are all stacked up for seven hours of nostalgic fun. Saturdays I usually don't get out of the store and back home until well into this program block and I always miss the lead off show. It's not exactly a tragedy since I have the DVD set for this series and can watch it whenever I want. Still I wouldn't mind watching it on free TV every once in a while. Which is the show of whence I speak?  Why the Adventures of Superman starring the one and only George Reeves. This was the seminal show for me because it's the program that started me on my journey to where I am today.

For me it all started on TV in the year 1964. At this time we’re talking about a kid under five and the concept of the comic book was unknown to me. What I did have was two black and white TV sets (one at home and one at Grandma’s), WGN Channel 9 and the jaw dropping “Adventures of Superman”. This show was about a guy who wore a business suit (boring!), worked in an office (double boring!) but would occasionally strip it all off in a closet to reveal a cape and long johns - then he’d jump out the window and JUST-KEEP-GOING! In this costume he could also look through walls, bend steel in his bare hands, shake off bullets and on and on. It was just about the coolest thing in my pre-kindergarten life. I fell in love with the show, the character and when I got a Marshall Field’s Superman costume for Christmas - I was in heaven! I remember wearing the costume for days on end, so much so that I went through four or five sets of them over the course of the same number of years. With each costume I sat with my Grandma on the couch or the rocker and she read the warning text printed across the bottom of the costume shirt: “This suit will not make you fly, only SUPERMAN can fly.” So don’t jump off the roof with it on - you’ll kill yourself just like 'all those other kids' did!

Soon I’d discover comics, George Reeves sad fate, the “Marvel Super Heroes” and much more. But my roots as a “Comicbookman” originate from that show, that costume, and a grandmother’s love. I never did jump off the roof with the costume on. However, there was this one really tall set of concrete steps leading up to a neighbor’s front door. Anyway - that's what started it for me. How about you?

MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SALE HERE!

At Alternate Reality, we order 99.9% of the comics PREVIEWS solicits. Keep that in mind as you read the numbers below; they not only break down our week, but they're also a good representation of the week in comics nationwide.

New Comic Wednesday for the Third week of April sees a 20% jump in the overall number of titles shipping this week over last week and some interesting movements amongst the TOP 5. Again in 1st Place this week is DC with twenty-eight titles, also helped again in large part to the Convergence parallel variants that are shipping with every issue of that series. Our second through fifth place shippers make for a pretty tight pack separated from top to bottom by only three titles. Coming in a totally undeserved 2nd place is Avatar with twenty two titles. Undeserved because that 22 number is made up of parallel variants on the FOUR titles they are actually shipping this week. Tied for 3rd and 4th Place are Marvel and Image respectively with each shipping twenty books this week. Coming in 5th Place is the reappearance of IDW this week with nineteen titles. The real story of this week's shipping is in the Indy totals as they almost double their output from last week with ninety one books. Dynamite takes 6th Place for the week with fifteen titles and Archie (that's right ARCHIE!) comes in 7th Place with twelve titles. This Wednesday you'll find an overall total of twenty three different publishers on the racks contributing to this weeks total of 200 comics.

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS: Valiant retools their relaunch of Bloodshot, Archie brings back the Fox and then hooks Riverdale up with the Predators, Convergence (at 40% Off) continues, Boundless has another smokin' hot series, Monster Motors ends and another under the radar hit from Image - these are the highlights for the third shipping week of April 2015. Our Book of the Week this time is Valliant's new ongoing series BLOODSHOT REBORN #1, written and drawn by Jeff Lemire with an art assist by Mico Suayan.  Bloodshot's nanites made him a nearly unstoppable killing machine and he served his masters at Project Rising Spirit very well. Now, Bloodshot is a shadow of his former self, living in self imposed exile and reeling from the consequences of his past life. When a series of killings reminiscent of his former handiwork occur, will that be enough to send him diving headlong into the violence that nearly destroyed him? Find out at 40% OFF all week long. This week DC ships CONVERGENCE # 2 and for the third time we're discounting it at 40% OFF all day Wednesday. This issue sees Earth 2's Thomas Wayne and Dick Grayson setting off to find help in the pre-Flashpoint Gotham City. The emotional implication of these worlds colliding comes crashing down when Thomas Wayne confronts this world's Batman, as father meets son! Archie Comics (our 7th largest shipper for the week) ships two of note. Archie and the gang from Riverdale have met the band KISS and they have met Marvel's Frank Castle the Punisher. This week they meet the most unexpected guest stars of all: the Predators! ARCHIE VS PREDATOR #1 (OF 4) is by writer Alex De Campi and artist Rich Koslowski  and has  Archie and the gang hitting Costa Rica for Spring Break (Costa Rica? Spring Break? REALLY?!?) where party games and beach games are soon replaced by the Most Dangerous Game! Also up form Archie Comics is their Dark Circle imprint of the return of the Fox. FOX ONGOING #1 is by writer Mark Waid and artist Dean Haspiel. It picks up where the previous mini-series left off with FOX HUNT: Part one "The Situation". Both of these books will be 40% OFF this Wednesday. Also 40% OFF this Wednesday is IDW's MONSTER MOTORS CURSE OF MINIVAN HELSING #2 (OF 2) by writer Brian Lynch and artist Nick Roche. Undead cars and trucks driving the Earth and one bite will turn any machine into one of them! Their numbers are multiplying; their hunger is growing. They are ZOOMBIES and yes it's a totally silly book that takes place in the sleepy town of Transylvania, Kentucky. But sometimes silly is okay especially if it's deep discounted! We wrap thing up with two indy girls from opposite ends of the spectrum but one thing they  do share in common is they are both 40% OFF this Wednesday. EMBER #0 joins Lady Death as Boundless Comics latest entry into the femme fatale genre of comics. Writer/Artist Christian Zanier crafts the tale of Ember, a very privileged young woman, given the twin gifts of stunning natural beauty and a fabulously rich father, who gets her life turned upside-down when a horrific plane crash, with a mysterious experiment aboard, suddenly gives Ember an elemental power over fire. Meanwhile, Image this week is releasing a title which looks like it could be another "under the radar" sub-genre hit. RUNLOVEKILL #1 is by writers Eric Canete and Jonathan Tsuei with art by Eric Canete and features fugitive and assassin Rain Oshiro who has just 24 hours to escape a barricaded city while trying to evade a military force determined to either capture or kill her.
