Coming on the heels of the debut of the Ninjak reveal, Valiant Entertainment has revealed a first look at “Power Rangers” alum Jason David Frank as the nano-empowered Bloodshot from the publisher’s live-action collaboration with Bat in the Sun, producers of the popular “Super Power Beat Down” videos.
The digital series series will star Valiant’s suave, high-tech master of stealth Ninjak as he takes on the best-known heroes of Valiant’s superhero universe. In addition to Michael Rowe (“Arrow,” “The Flash”) as Ninjak and Frank as Bloodshot, the project also stars Kevin Porter (“Dodgeball”), Ciera Foster (“Straight Outta Compton”), John Morrison (“WWE,” “Lucha Underground”), Derek Theler (“Baby Daddy”) and Chantelle Barry (“90210,” “Entourage”).
Bloodshot is an amnesiac assassin, implanted with many contradicting memories. His nano-machines grant him all kinds of abilities, but he is most noticeable for his ability to heal.
The image, which arrives courtesy of ComicBook.com, is a variant cover for “Bloodshot” #14 that will be available for free Friday, Oct. 7, at New York Comic Con during Frank’s signing session. More details about the project will be announced Saturday, Oct. 8, during the “Valiant X Bat in the Sun: Top-Secret Project Panel.”
New York Comic Con will be held Oct. 6-9 at the Javits Center in New York City.

I'm unfamiliar but from the look I thought he was a vampire...I'm disappointed

I'm not familiar with the character. Pic looks cool I guess

You people don't know what you're missing. At it's best Valiant outclasses Marvel and DC from a storytelling point more often than not. Their live action media has serious potential to style on other live action comic adaptations so I will check for this.
If it works they could bring on X-O Manowar, Archer and Armstrong, Rai and Harbinger which not only could be an X-Men type story done right but will introduce general audiences to the ? Toyo Harada.
I'm hyped for this. -

Not familiar with Valiant. Do they have the paper or a studio behind them to do it properly? @Broddie -

They were the most succesful independent comic book company outside of Image back in the 90s. They've returned to publishing recently (2010s) and have seen success again (0 cancellations since they restarted with some of the most critically acclaimed books on the market) and I suppose that success was good enough to finally get them to pursue other media ventures.
They have also had connected people in Hollywood like Brett Ratner (Harbinger) and Ice Cube (Shadowman) looking to adapt some of their IPs for years. So yeah they could be a force with the right talent attached to their adaptations and have the connections and interest to be as much. -

Word and a big co-sign what Broddie said. I've never read a Valiant book, but from what I read on Wikipedia, the Valiant Universe has one of the tightest continuities in fandom. Their ? sounded it it was tighter than Marvel's was when Stan Lee was writing 8 titles a month. Also those titles are very well written, the best part is those books are in the .50 cent so you can get the entire line for hella cheap.
On The Set Of Ninjak Vs The Valiant Universe Part I
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/10/13/set-ninjak-vs-valiant-universe-part/
Posted October 13, 2016 by Dan Wickline
A few weeks ago I got to visit the set of the upcoming Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe. This was well before the announcement at NYCC and the release of the trailer. While on site I got to talk with stars Michael Rowe formerly of Arrow and Jason David Frank the former Green Power Ranger. I also spoke with directors Aaron Schoenke and Sean Schoenke and producers Dinesh Shamdasani and Josh Johns. Over the next few days I will be sharing some of those interviews.
The day started off at 11 am at a studio in Los Angeles where they were going to be filming a fight between Ninjak, Valiant’s resident super-spy ninja, and Blooshot, their invincible fighting machine. We started off in a conference room where Shamdasani, Johns and Hunter Gorinson the companies VP of Marketing gave us some details on the project.
The series will start with a 16 minute episode, followed by a series of 8 minute episodes and then conclude with another 16 minute episode. This is bigger than anything that Bat In The Sun productions has done before. The first episode alone has 14 or 15 sets.
They are attempting to make a Netflix original series or CW series that is released digitally. Valiant sees the digital market as the equivalent of the animation market of the 90’s. Where cartoons used to be the avenue to expand your properties, they believe it’s now through things like Super Power Beatdown. They also feel that this is an area that has been neglected by the comic industry and that what they are doing may make other companies dive into this medium.
When it came to casting, Valiant wanted people that could act but also looked like they just walked out of the comic. Since this will be the first time that any of these characters have been portrayed out side of the comics, they wanted to do it right and get people who are excited about playing the characters. The actors are also on board to return if this series expands past the initial run.
Another thing they want to do is shift genres with each episode based on who Ninjak is fighting. The episode with Archer & Armstrong will be more humorous, even slapstick while the X-O Manowar episode will be high science fiction. The Bloodshot episode will be more gritty 80’s violence and the Shadowman episode will get mystical and take us to other planes of reality.
I will get into some of the individual interviews in the next few days, but the one thing that stood out to me through the entire visit was how much everyone involved wanted to do this right. From the producers, to the directors, the actors, the costume and make-up people all they way down. Everyone wanted to make sure that they took the time to do everything right. The Ninjak suit alone took 10 months to make. And even though they are filming now, we don’t expect to see the full thing released until Winter of 2017.
And if you missed it, here is the trailer released at NYCC.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQcLClgLfkg

My thoughts exactly... I always wanted to get into valiant but never could... everything about that trailer seemed off... the costumes, the lighting, camera movements, the effects, the tone... even how the first dude wuz holding his gun and how ninjak came in... just looked goofy... -
Looks fine. You ? ? too much.
