And if I wasn't feeling it, I knew the reader wouldn't either. “I know, personally, I get enough politics on a day-to-day basis and know that it's the last thing I want to read about in my comics. That's the joy of working really far ahead, it allows me to get a sense of the series as a whole and shift things. So I have removed many of those elements from the series altogether. And I also felt that including the white supremacist/alt-right angle was just distracting from the story I really wanted to tell with Salvation. That stuff was feeling very heavy-handed. “So, Bloodshot will not longer be going up against the alt-right or any white supremacists in this series. “The more I worked on the book, the more the political aspects I had planned just started to feel obvious and forced,” Lemire told IGN.
