Alien Books, in partnership with Valiant Comics, is launching a Kickstarter campaign for exclusive versions of Black, White & Bloodshot. The campaign for the four-issue anthology series opens for backing on July 8, 2024.

Black, White & Bloodshot follows Bloodshot, the violent nanite-enhanced super-soldier, on his extreme missions. Each issue features the work of popular creators including Ariel Olivetti, Kevin Van Hook, Brian Azzarello, Shintaro Kago, Eduardo Risso, Marc Guggenheim, Tim Seeley, Renato Guedes, Mico Suayan, Guillermo Fajardo, Mirka Andolfo, and others.

“Our goal with the Black, White & Bloodshot Kickstarter is to reach a whole new audience of comic book readers who may have never read a Valiant title before,” Alien Books Director Matias Timarchi said. “We also want to make sure there’s something special for the long-time Valiant fans and the retailers who have supported us by providing them with exclusive rewards and benefits.”

All four issues of Black, White & Bloodshot will contain multiple stories drawn in black and white with blood red highlights. The difficulties inherent in being a nanite-infused mercenary, Bloodshot’s dark outlook on life, plus topics on identity, justice, and sacrifice will be covered in the book.

The first issue comes with a main cover by Fajardo, a Kickstarter exclusive cover by mangaka Kago, variant cover B by Matias Bergara, and variant cover C by Al Barrionuevo.

“The Bloodshot Kickstarter campaign opens the door for Alien Books to get a little more daring with what we’re publishing while building new relationships with fans that may not know who we are just yet,” Alien Books Editor-in-Chief Lysa Hawkins said. “We’re looking forward to what the future holds for our Valiant Comics titles and everything else that we’re working on!”
