Bloodshot #10 begins a new story arc for author Tim Seeley. Having faked his death with General Grayle and the Black Bar organization, and shut down the covert espionage and terror network The Burned, Bloodshot locked himself away in a pocket universe, and tore the device from his head which had allowed him to travel there. Never again, he vowed, would he allow others to use him for their own purposes. Then he received an unexpected call to action.
Here's the Preview pages:
Bloodshot's decision to no longer perpetuate violence on behalf of others reminds me of Marvel's Planet Hulk storyline, only this time it is Bloodshot who seeks peace and refuge. But the information Wilford Wigans sends him makes Bloodshot realize that, despite the pain it will cause him, the world needs his unique skills and abilities more than ever. So Bloodshot sacrifices himself for the good of others, and works on a means of returning to our world.

Continuity matters, and in Bloodshot #10, Valiant Comics delivers. While promising the return of Project Rising Spirit, the organization that created Bloodshot, we also meet up with a character from the first Bloodshot (and Harbinger) series, catch up with the results of the Bloodshot USA storyline, see one character introduced in Bloodshot Salvation, and reunite with another character I'll leave as a surprise.

The Bloodshot movie took a different approach to the character than that utilized by the comic book writers. The way characters like Wigans come into the comics may be different from their Big Screen counterparts. Still, it's nice to see the movies and comics connect.
That's why, in so many ways, Bloodshot #10 comes as a welcome reunion.
