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. Keanu Reeves makes his comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt (Folklords, Grass Kings) and legendary artist Ron Garney (Wolverine) in a brutally violent new series about one immortal warrior’s fight through the ages. Collects BRZRKR #1-4.

Review of 'BRZRKR Vol. 1' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

So the wholesome 100 Keanu Reeves himself decides to write a comic book, and the results are... About what you'd expect: Kind of shallow, but still fun. BRZRKR tells the story of an immortal soldier that -between all the berzerking he does- is actually a depressed guy that's looking for a cure for his immortality.

This book is surprisingly similar to John Wick. Aside from the fact that the main character is literally just buff Keanu Reeves, it holds the same principle of shallow story with tons of action and long scenes of the main character just brutally killing a lot of people. I say the story is shallow because there's so little of it, but what's there actually isn't bad.

I had fun with the first volume, but I think the big question is whether this story warrants 3 volumes or not. I guess I'll find out.
