BRZRKR Vol. 1

Product Information

It took me only thirty minutes to get through this and there wasn’t a single second in which my interest was even slightly piqued except for when I literally reached the final panel on the final page. I didn’t find the art engaging and though the story was initially interesting about a third of the way through it loses steam. I am most likely not the intended audience for this book, but that didn't stop me from jumping into it.

came to be born is hilariously stupid too, though the caveman stuff in general didn’t do anything for me - I’m not a huge Conan the Barbarian fan, and that seems to be the audience for this part of the book. The excessive gore grew tiring by the third page and it even grew tired of itself; by the second issue the artist was repeating the same old fight scenes again and again. The story is fantastic and I was hooked immediately - our protagonist is a violent, unkillable man who wants to die.

Well, for starters, even at middle age, I still can cave into peer pressure (not that there was anything particularly dangerous about reading this comic. 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. The narration started out as irritatingly unforthcoming and then devolved into an unwanted fountain of explanation. This first volume contains his present and his earliest days and is pretty simple, but the artwork is cool and the tone is perfect.

There's a weird air of fantastical mythos to the olden days and a strange sci-fi feel to the present day events.It is not unlike a Mark Millar comic, which I suppose isn’t that surprising, in that it pushes the adrenaline. BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness is written by Reeves and Steve Skroce, with art by Skroce and colors by Dave Stewart. Keanu is an undying war-machine in this comic, he's been around for a gazillion years leading massacres, and now he just wants to die.
