In 2012, the series was revived by Tim Seeley, with a more satirical bent, focusing on the implications of the government using resurrection technology, but was put on hiatus after eight issues.

There was also Cabbot: Bloodhunter, a solo miniseries focused on Cabbot, but it was cancelled after a single issue. The original run lasted for 22 issues, after which Image tried to relaunch the franchise as Bloodstrike: Assassin. Because they need regular treatments in order to avoid dying again, the government is able to force them to go on missions that would be too dangerous for living operatives. Each member is a super-powered operative who died in the field of battle and got resurrected by a secret government program called Project Born Again. The series follows the adventures of a super-powered assassination squad led by Cabbot Stone. Bloodstrike is a comic-book series created by Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics as part of their Extreme Comics imprint.
