Worst of 2016: Bloodshot Reborn/Bloodshot U.S.A.

By Dustin Cabeal

I tried several times to get into Reborn, and it never took with me. The ideas were there, but something about the execution never resonated with me. I thought I’d have a second chance with U.S.A., but not only did that feel like a cheap #1, but it was just more of the same.

Worst for me, these two series took a character that previously I had really enjoyed and made me uninterested. The series is more mediocre than bad, but it was also practically gifted wrapped for Jeff Lemire which makes its fall from grace all the more terrible.
