Release Date: March, 2015
FIRST APPEARANCE: Bloodshot, Nanites (depicted as gold)
COLLECTORS NOTES: One of the rarest and hardest Valiant books to hunt down. Never really put into circulation, These books were only given out at an event in China in March, 2015. Very few of these books made it back to the United States, and as soon as news hit the fans regarding these books, collectors went nuts!
There is an unknown number of these books spread out through collectors and fans, but guesses can be made. in the CGC Census, there are 22 total books represented. 16 9.8's, five 9.6's, and one 9.0. Collectors have speculated the total amount of books to be around 50.

Release Date: 11 July, 2012
FIRST APPEARANCE: Bloodshot, Nanites (depicted as gold)
COLLECTORS NOTES: Considered one of the harder Valiant Gold comic books to find, This Bloodshot Gold is even harder to find in 9.8 condition. This comic is already 8 years old (as of this writing), and coupled with a nearly complete black spine, any wearing points or color breaks are exponentially magnified. Per Dinesh Shamdasani, every gold book put out from 2012 - 2018 had the same print run and the same distribution, mostly at Comic Cons and always giveaways.

Release Date: 11 July, 2012
FIRST APPEARANCE: Bloodshot, Nanites (depicted as gold)
COLLECTORS NOTES: In a move that would only show itself in the earliest of VEI days, Valiant chose to utilize a different images on the cover to highlight their second printing of the Bloodshot #1 book. They did chose to utilize the same artist, Arturo Lozzi. This image replaces the iconic Bloodshot #1 issue, and while still easy to find, is less popular than the first.

Cover Art: Arturo Lozzi (1:25 Variant)
Release Date: 5 September, 2012
COLLECTORS NOTES: This Arturo Lozzi image is quite possibly my favorite Bloodshot cover. While not the first appearance of the Nanites (depicted as gold book #1, pg 8), nor the first naming of “The Goldies” (book #2 pg 8), it is the fist image that really ties these ideas all together. In this image, Bloodshot has a bullet wound on his wrist, and golden stream of blood (nanites) flows down his hand. It leads the imagination to see the healing of the wound, done by the "Goldies" (nanites). Collectors have often cherished this book, and have leaned on its appearance for continuity.

Release Date: 10 October, 2012
COLLECTORS NOTES: Design Variants were important to the Valiant Universe, especially in the very beginning of their runs. They provided an outline for new fans on who and what they looked like, and why they looked that way. In this instance, we know that Bloodshot carries a Katana,a Glock .45 and that his skin pigmentation\eye color is due to the nanites. Most importantly, it explains his ever bleeding circle on his chest and how it cracks and bleeds, but never fully heals. Again, fans and collectors refer to these types of books for continuity.
