Or so he thinks.
Garrison wakes up in a laboratory. Although Garrison was dead, he’s been resurrected by Dr. Emil Harting (Pearce). Experimental nanorobotics have replaced Garrison’s blood. He’s now super strong and almost instant healing powers. Harting thinks he has created a super soldier to do his bidding.
Garrison has plans of his own…
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Based on the popular Valiant comic series.
Lamorne Morris, an American, plays a Brit. Toby Kebbell is British plays an Australian. Guy Pearce is Australian plays an American.
I thought I would like Bloodshot more.
Bloodshot (2020) rates 2 of 5 stars.
Sabre by Craig Hamilton!
The art above presents an interesting character/artist combo. The character is Sabre made famous by Don McGregor and Paul Gulacy. Hamilton used the figure above for this piece.

That’s the art for Comic Book Artist #7 featuring Paul Gulacy. Gulacy’s art combined with Doug Moench’s writing keep me reading comics even when girls and sports were taking up more and more of my time.

Tagline: Talents can be overrated.
The Plot…
1999. The cold war rages. When a MI6 agent is executed and microfilm containing The List of every active secret agent is stolen, Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is sent undercover to Berlin. Her mission is to recover The List at all costs.
Lorraine is warned that a KGB double agent only known as The Satchel is active in the area. Immediately after arriving in Berlin, an assassination attempt on Loraine is attempted. She barely survives. Loraine then meets her contact David Percival (McAvoy), an MI6 deep undercover agent. As Loraine works to find The List, she encounters Delphine Lasalle (Boutella) who claims to be a French agent.
Not sure who she can trust, Lorraine must find The List before it falls into enemy hands. Failure to do so will cost the lives of dozens of agents… including her.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
David Leitch co-directed John Wick. He decided to do this film rather than John Wick Chapter 2.
Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves trained together. Reeves was getting in shape for John Wick Chapter 2.
There is a fight scene that moves up/down stairs and through several rooms that last about ten minutes. It appears (thanks to clever editing) to be done in one continuous shot.
Charlize Theron, James McAvoy and Sofia Boutella are perfect. The supporting cast is amazing.
David Leitch has created an action classic.
Atomic Blonde (2017) rates 5 of 5 stars.

Marv & Nancy by Joelle Jones!

Batman by Cliff Chang!
I like when Batman uses his detective skills. Cliff Chang probably feels the same way since he created the art above.
Blade by Howard Chaykin!
When someone brings up the character Blade, two people come to mind: Wesley Snipes and Howard Chaykin. Snipes because he perfectly brought the Daywalker to the silver screen and Chaykin because, well, check out the drawing above.

If there ever was an artist born to draw a character, my vote would go for John Byrne and Wolverine.
