BRZRKR Vol. 1

Product Information

In July 2022, during Keanu Reeves' panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, it was announced that the anime series adaptation will be produced by Production I. So yes, this does feel like a storyboard for a Netflix series, and personally, I hate it when comics do that.

Maybe by the time this is done there will be a story here, but right now it's mainly just intense amounts of random violence and electrified vajayjays. It's just that there was page after page after page after page after page of it, so after a skinny minute the shock value just wasn't there anymore. B. is 80,000 years old (he looks great for his age, like Keanu) and the sliver of a story that’s here is B. will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it. Meantime, he's the military's secret weapon - just as he has been for many cultures over the past 80,000 years.I've heard a lot of references to Old Guard: Opening Fire when it comes to premise and I think that's close enough. There are so many pages of it that I became numb to the panels, even though Ron Garney does a fabulous job of illustrating this. Given all of the other novels and graphic novels with celebrities' names on them, I'm think I can be pardoned for expecting some hackneyed self-insertion trash.

This reminded me a lot of The Old Guard but I tried to put the similarities aside and ultimately found myself enjoying it more. But I have hope that this thing is just finding its legs and the next volume is going to knock it out of the park.It is not unlike a Mark Millar comic, which I suppose isn’t that surprising, in that it pushes the adrenaline.
