The Doctor’s are not sure what they can do, as her condition is getting worse. This was caused by the transfer of Ray’s Nanites when she was born. Jessie is not expected to live through the night. They do there best to comfort her, but Ninjak has a plan. He suggests bringing her to the one person who could help them, at least by supernatural means. The deal to be made will come at a price, but Ray is prepared to pay that, whatever comes. With that, they have to make it to New Orleans by Sun Rise.

Ray is ready, he enters the portal with Jessie, as Ninjak restrains Magic, and Bloodhound accompanies him into Shadowman’s unknown Hell. The last thing we see is the Pages fade to black, and Ray is in the dark. He is Blind, with his infant daughter, ina foreign dimension, with only his dog to guide him.
Rating: 9/10
Final Thought:
Another thrilling chapter in the life of Bloodshot and his family. Just when you think they catch a break, the bottom falls out again. The issue is more about exposition than action, but the last issue filled that quite nicely. I enjoyed the more serious tine, and certainly understood the gravitas of the plot and felt as the reader that the stakes were high. Lemire does a great job of showing the desperation of the character, and it is exciting to see the cameo of the Shadowman. The art is consistently amazing, and Renato Guedes brings an element of realism that engulfs the reader’s imagination. Take a look at Bloodshot #6, because it marks the beginning of the odyssey for Ray’s redemption as a father and a hero.
