BRZRKR Vol. 1

Product Information

BRZRKR Vol.1 does not have much to offer on the narrative angle, however, it is filled with vibrant art that screams action, violence and gore-fest. It's not a great book, neither a bad one - it's just too shallow - that I hope improves going forward. Keanu Reeves makes his comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt and acclaimed artist Ron Garney in a brutally violent new series about one immortal warrior’s fight through the ages. That said, there are things that will take a good action movie and take it to being a great movie- characterization, dialogue, plot and though we are just at the beginning of the story, I don’t think we will get to that level. Immortal Keanun -- oh, wait, make that immortal Unute has spent thousands of years slaughtering people. He continues to do the same in the present day as "Subject B" with much blood, gore (so much brain matter splattering about!), and brooding. Such a sad Keanu! But scientists are supposedly helping him between bloodbaths to recover memories (so many, so sad, so bloody) and determine how he could claim the mortality he desires.

The man of the 90's, Neo himself, wrote this, probably one of the most 90's nostalgic pieces I have seen in a hot minute. There are Manly Men, plenty of Gore and Violence, and waxing poetic on how meaningless life is. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review* Weintraub, Steve (October 4, 2021). "Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney Discuss Their Comic Series 'BRZRKR' and Reveal Who's Writing the Live-Action Netflix Movie". Collider . Retrieved February 22, 2022. Reeves told me that Mattson Tomlin (writer of Project Power and one of the writers on The Batman) has been hired to write the live-action movie and it's in the early stages of development. A WAR WITH NO END. The man known only as B. is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence…even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the world for centuries, the Berzerker may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B. will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.

Of all the celebrity comics I've read, this is quite possibly the best - that said, I still don't think it's all that great. Mostly the comic relies on the sheer quantity of gore and violence and comic versions of Keanu's ripped abs (not complaining BTW). if you are okay with violence. Choose this book if you love graphical violence at an extreme level.

Be a great comic first and foremost - don't be so desperate to be something else. Keanu Reeves plays a character so tough he killed all the vowels in his book’s title! Want to read a comic that rips out the spine of good taste and murderizes subtlety with it before dancing in the blood of restraint? Disappointed that no comic out there caters to the FBI watch list crowd for deranged psychopaths? Worry not, my soon-to-be-suicided-by-cop friend - BRZRKR is here for YOU! This was a magical buddy read that happened almost organically because everyone in the group wanted to read this. And that says a lot about Mr. Reeves' pull with geeks. I don't think we've ever collectively started snatching up copies of a comic this fast.

Artwork wasn't my favourite but it does work really well for this story. I think a more realistic style would have won me over completely but as it stands it was a great, brutal read that I very much enjoyed. Ever since then, people from various countries have tried to figure him out over the centuries because they wanna harness his genetic code, of course. The latest in this long line are the US government and their eggheads. But who knows what their real deal is. Aah, yes, the comic every Keanu Reeves fan across the planet has been clamouring to read. Moronically titled BRZRKR, it's been hilarious watching everyone struggle to spell it; is it BRZKR? BZKR? BRZRK? What a kerfuffle! It is what it says in the front. A berserker unleashed for war. His natural instinct natured through his formative years, he has been fighting through his looking life.

Apparently, his mother prayed for a weapon to deliver her people from marauding tribes, and ended up with a lightning bolt to the twat that impregnated her with a BRZRKR baby. This wasn’t really what I was expecting. It’s more fantasy leaning, and Reeves being Reeves I think I was expecting something more SF.Starting on this volume, which contains the first third of a planned 12-issue series, I expected there to be close to no story, in a negative sense. The surprising thing is that I ended up wishing there was no story at all, with no narration and little dialogue, just gloopy oodles of ultraviolence. Johnston, Rich (2021-02-04).

The first chapter is sprint through his latest mission single handedly taking out a whole army to destroy a dictator. He was born in a village that got raided every year until their leading pair had had enough. The female village leader went into a cave and "prayed to the gods" - and they (or "he") answered. She woke up pregnant and gave birth after only 60 days. The kid also grew up in record time, but it was obvious soon that this "child" was bloodthirsty. In fact, he was unable to talk whenever he was in one of his states.
