Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Bloodshot #9 by best-selling writer Duane Swierczynski and fan favorite artist Manuel Garcia. With Harbinger Wars just 30 days away, the foundation of Valiant's first family crossover gets laid right here in the indispensable final chapter of "The Rise & The Fall" – and there's no turning back now.

Deep in the bowels of Project Rising Spirit, Bloodshot is about to face the most difficult decision of his life. Confronted with his past as a PRS "Harbinger hunter," will he release the dangerously super-powered test subjects he once captured back into the world – even as they plot a campaign of fear and terror? Or will he return to the role he knows best – killer – and finish the job  he was designed to do? Is he a savior? Or an assassin? And which path will wipe his slate clean, once and for all?

Full of shocks, heart-stopping action and more backstabbing than a dozen productions of Julius Caesar, Bloodshot #9 has its finger on the trigger – and the shot that will be heard  'round the Valiant Universe gets fired right here on March 13.
