Bloodshot US Summary

My quick review of Bloodshot U.S.A #1

Story: Jeff Lemire takes a familiar sounding assassins arc and immediately fills it with intrigue and surprise no spoilers here but, there is a very nice surprise in Bloodshot U.S.A #1.

Art: Doug Braithwaite's panels are drawn and arranged in a manner that gives them extra-dimensional pop, of course they are not 3D, but his use of angles and space, give the panels height and weight, which is very difficult in 2D. The characters show emotion and those details in his panels and splash pages, help advance the story without words.

Color: Brian Reber uses a cohesive palette that showcases his sense of ambiences, and texture. Bloodshot U.S.A #1 is colored in a slightly muted real

    Although in Truman Capote’s book In Cold Blood, the author is illustrating the points of view of Holcomb, Dick, and Perry after the murder of the Clutter family, his prime motive is to exploit the devastation felt by the community; therefore, he accomplishes this by emphasizing the agony, confusion, and panic experienced by a loss. Capote uses tricolon to help convey the dark blanket of emotions that overcame Holcomb after the murders, which one can see from the perspective of Agent Alvin Dewey’s family. One night after the death of the Clutter family, Mrs. Dewey hears one of her normally untroubled sons crying in his room, and again at their breakfast table the next morning: “His mother had not needed to ask him why [he was crying]; she…

    Moalem talks about how cholesterol rises too. Like when you consume alcohol, your body detoxifies it and then extracts calories from it. It's a difficult process that involves many different enzymes and a lot of organs, although most of the process takes place in the liver. First, an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase converts the alcohol into another chemical called acetaldehyde; another enzyme—cleverly called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase—converts the acetaldehyde into acetate. And a third enzyme converts that into fat, carbon dioxide, and water.…

    In her article "Shooting the messenger: Why Canadians don't blow the whistle on wrongdoing" Suanne Kelman aims to unravel the Canadian stigma regarding whistleblowers. Last year, when Wikileaks declassified a large quantity of corrupt government documents, the general canadian's reaction was not one of solidarity, but rather of condemnation. Kelman believes that, "somewhere in the Canadian psyche there seems to be a rooted belief that whistleblowing is not nice"(200). This explains why the canadian discussion tends to revolve more around the founder of Wikileaks' character, rather than the issue of transparency itself. It is not as if there are no cases of government corruption in canada.…
